Cardinals and Canons

Congratulations to all those who opened their New Testament in search of the answer to last month's competition!

The correct answer was, of course, a joke. The unfortunate student, confronted daily by the unvarying stew, quoted St Paul: "Jesus Christ the same today and forever".

Some suggestions as to what the student might have said included: "Put greed out of your lives and be content with what you have" or "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares?"and even "Obey them that have the rule over you and submit yourselves : for they watch for your souls, as they do that which must give account, that they may do it with joy and not with grief : for that is unprofitable for you?"

But the first in with the correct answer was none other than biblical scholar, wine scholar and web master, Canon Paul Willoughby, Webmaster for the Anglican Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross.
