Though no supporter of gay marriage, Martini nevertheless decided it was time to register his opposition to the Vatican's hammering away on family-related issues.

When I asked what she was doing she breezily replied: "I'm just playing. None of my friends have cell phones so I don't actually have anyone to call," she said. If Kajeet's homework pays off, that won't be the case for much longer...
