Dear Martin,

I was really moved that day when you made a speech and posted it on the door, all about black people and the Christianity. "I have a dream, that one day my children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their communion!" Wonderful. I think the pope liked it too, because he wrote you that nice letter. I think it's really a shame you burned that letter, too, because the pope is a nice man and I'm sure if you two just sat down and talked you could work out a lot of America's race issues. Hope, you know, hope and change. These are new days and your message is at the front, like a fat Borgia pope at dinner on Good Friday. I'm sorry, that was mean of me. Martin, go easy. You are making waves and rocking the boat.



Martin, I know we Catholics haven't always seen eye to eye on your theology of awesome, but if you ever think we can take communion and make up, please write. I miss you.

Yours truly,
Mark
