You have had an unexpectedly magic effect on the World, and on the Catholic Church.
Even for me.
When your name was concatenated with that mystical white smoke, I had a wave of emotion that was unique.
And I have been fallen-away for more than sixty years.
And that's just fine; I am willing to trade eternal damnation for being right.
But I - apparently - have some throbbing of vestigial loyalty to Rome.
And the Church.
And maybe even the Universal Church.
Days after the announcement of your Papacy, my wife, who is not a Catholic said. "let's go to Mass".
And we did.
That's how significant you are.
Now let's use that significance.
For the good of all humankind.
Hell, let's do it for life itself.
Everybody on Earth knows that Dolly Parton is a Saint.
Saints don't come by very often, so it's easy to see them when they do.
But she wasn't a Roman Catholic.
So, she can't be declared by Rome to be what she clearly is.
Robert, you can fix that, and maybe, fixing that will fix a lot of other things.
Just maybe.
Popes can move the universe when they speak ex cathedra - from the Chair.
The Chair of Peter - SAINT - Peter.
So, get movin'; get changin'; sit on that Chair; have a revelation: "every human spirit is part of the great envelope of what we all aspire to, are, have been and will ever hope to be; Christ's Church therefore recognizes that Dolly Parton is Saint Dolly; today we assert that, in spirit, if not in organization, we are Catholic: we are Universal".
And once you have done that, Robert, get crackin' on Abraham, Martin and John.
