Some people just don’t get it
Newsweek is reporting — as if it’s news — that the Pope does not have a “living will.”
Gosh, pretty soon they’ll discover he doesn’t have a wife, either!
I find it rather hard to believe that any educated person (which I suppose might not include Newsweek headline-writers) would not know that the Pope’s pro-life ideology would not permit him to have a “living will,” unless it said something very different from what those documents normally say. A “living will” is, of course, one of those things that is the opposite of its name. It specifies circumstances under which one claims to want not to live. So it’s really an “anti-living will” or perhaps a “dying will.”
