Inhabitants of the Alpine villages of Fieschertal and Fiesch in Switzerland have sought an audience with the pope. 
Since waaaaay back before Duncan started shaving (assuming he ever did!), they’ve been praying for the nearby glacier to stop growing, in the hope that they could prevent it encroaching on the villages. This god of theirs must have had other matters on his mind, as it’s taken since 1678 for him to get round to listening to them, and to do something about the situation.
However, now that the glacier has started receding, the ungrateful buggers want to go and see his Popefulness Benny the Sechzehnte, and ask his permission to change their vows, and enable them to pray for the bloody thing to start growing again.
Come on lads! Make up your minds…and while you’re at it, show some balls and pray anyway; with or without the German bloke’s say so.
