Sometimes Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction
The first international football tournament for Catholic priests and seminarians is set to kick off in Italy on Saturday. This follows on from statemnts made by a senior cardinal that he would like to see the Vatican field a professional team in Serie A (Italy's top division). However, we won't be seeing the giallobianchi any time soon after the same cardinal quickly played down his previous statements.
I can't help but feel that the Clericus Cup has been inspired by the classic Father Ted episode 'Escape From Victory', which featured the All-Priests Five-a-Side Over-75s Indoor Challenge Football Match between Craggy and Rugged Islands. Rugged Island's star player, I seem to remember, was an elderly Italian priest.
Life is about to imitiate art when a five-a-side football tournament will decide which island will host the upcoming Friends of Ted festival.

This is just the kind of knavery those English people like to sing about.
