The Pope is here causing all sorts of chaos, paying attention to a TINY Christian minority, and I remembered this doozy:
Went to the police station a few weeks ago for our residence permits. A young policeman who looked like he could have stepped out of a Mannerist painting filled out our paperwork. He asked my parents’ names (lied, too messy to explain divorce and remarriage) and then what is my religion. BLANK… And then I choked out Christian because that was what he expected and was easiest, but is far from the current truth. Amazing that such a simple question could affect me like that.
