You know what, Popeye may have a face that looks like it should be on the opposite side of his body rather than on his shoulders, but when it comes to his heart, I’d say it’s right where it should be…
“The elderly are those who transmit history to us, who transmit doctrine, who transmit the faith and give it to us as an inheritance.” the seventy-seven year old Pope Francis said recently. “Grandparents are a treasure. Often old age isn’t pretty, right? There is sickness and all that, but the wisdom our grandparents have is something we must welcome as an inheritance.” Well, there you go. There may be lots of speculation out there that Olive Oyl is Jewish, but as for Popeye, it sure sounds like he’s been listening to the Pope. So should we all.
