Tomorrow we mark the Ides of March - the day Julius Caesar should have called in sick and not gone to the senate. But today all roads lead to Rome - we have a new Pope Francis - he is a Jesuit and he is a non-European. There is a Latin phrase spoken during his coronation "Sic transit gloria mundi" which translates to "Thus passes the glory of the world." But some years ago I saw the following translation on graffiti on a New York subway wall "Gloria Mundi is sic of transit" - probably written by a frustrated commuter waiting for that local that never comes.
