It seems Pope Francis needs to brush up on his Tertullian!

It has been reported (in The ChristLast Media, I must note) that the current Pope does not like the phrase "lead us not into temptation...

"Let no freedom be allowed to novelty, because it is not fitting that any addition should be made to antiquity. Let not the clear faith and belief of our forefathers be fouled by any muddy admixture." -- Pope Sixtus III

Pray for Leavander Johnson...

From ESPN.com:

LAS VEGAS - Former IBF lightweight champion Leavander Johnson was in critical condition Saturday night after collapsing following a loss to Jesus Chavez at MGM Grand.

Johnson was hit hard throughout the title fight, which mercifully was stopped 38 seconds into the 11th round by referee Tony Weeks. Chavez opened the 11th by landing a steady stream of blows - all to the head - that kept a dazed Johnson pinned to the ropes.

The 35-year-old Johnson collapsed later in his dressing room and was rushed to University Medical Center, where he underwent surgery for bleeding on the brain.

"Mr. Johnson suffered an event after the fight and doctors and paramedics went to the dressing room immediately," said Dr. Tony Alamo of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. "One of our doctors, Dr. Albert Capanna, neurosurgeon, accompanied Mr. Johnson by ambulance to UMC Trauma Center. He was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma and underwent surgery."

Alamo backed Weeks' decision to stop the fight when he did.

"We feel that referee Tony Weeks did a great job and we support his stoppage at the time," Alamo said.

Johnson won his title in June with a seventh-round TKO of Stefano Zoff in Italy. He was making his first defense of the crown and fighting in Las Vegas for the first time since 1996.

...and Jesus Chavez.

First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct. "My gender is male." means nothing. Look it up. What kind of sick neo-Puritan nonsense is this? Idiot left-fascists, get your blood-soaked paws off the English language. Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
