On this Veterans Day, remember those who fought in the 20th Century’s stupidest war and gave everything as Christian Europe began its vast two-act drama of suicide:
No more war! Never again war! If you wish to be brothers, drop your weapons. – Pope St. Paul VI

Most of our public holidays, we observe, certainly … but ANZAC Day – 25 April – is … different. All businesses closed until noon. You can hear the pipe and drum bands if you go outside at 6 in the morning. God help us! Pope St Paul VI, pray for us, for our world that never seems to learn.
