Re: iGent Quiz for You to Take
You have a rare audience with the Pope. Your first question of him is:
What are the greatest challenges we face in our time and what does the Lord expect of us?
What should we do to bring God to others in the world?
Are the buttons on your cassock machine-attached or attached by hand?

2. Bring back lace up boots even though they look like orthotics
3. Wear 18oz flannels because sweating to death in every meeting isn't quite as bad as your suit wearing out in 25 years.
