Cardinal Ravasi, act your age

A Cardinal of the Catholic Church extolling a third-rate Pop "star" is just about as embarrassing as a 75 year old woman wearing a mini-skirt.

Your Eminence, try to act a little dignified as you wear the robes of a Prince of the Church.

And try to act your age.

UPDATE:

Those renowned arbiters of cultural elegance at The New York Times have taken Father George Rutler to task, for having the backbone to call a spade a spade and castigating Ravasi, a cultural nincompoop, for waxing tearful over the death of Mr David Bowie.  Heavens.  Please, someone send some smelling salts to the Times.
