The Star and The Moon 2007-04-24 12:00:37 This is a beautiful TV spot made for National Geographic by Borghierh/LoweBrasil.
YouTube - click here if you can't see the video. Link
An approximate translation:
The moon and the Star.
The Moon and the Star show up when the Sun leave the town.
In the night, they’re buddies.
One day I’ve saw on the TV
That the Moon declared war on the Star
They were so beautiful when they were shining together
Why they fight each other?
I think this is a lie!
(when the scenery changes)
Understand the world in which your children will grow-up.

A secretary or a miracle? 2007-05-14 13:00:33 Your Holiness, I have forgotten asking you a little favour.
The case is: I need desperately a secretary. Could be a modest one, like your secretary, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, for example. Would you mind recommend me to the Almight in your prayers?
I thank you on my knees.
Sincerely yours, Ira.
Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, Pope’ secretary, also known as “Gorgeous George”.
