Dear pilgrims

We were sorry to hear that the first pilgrims to use the Vatican’s charter planes to travel to Lourdes were prevented from taking home souvenir bottles of holy water. Security guards pronounced them a security threat, just like any other liquid.

We just wanted to remind pilgrims that bottles of water are still allowed on trains.

And, of course, that while pilgrims persist in seeking absolution for themselves, they continue to represent a different kind of security threat to the rest of us, with their profligate addiction to flying.

Keep it practical, folks. Pass the confession booth, do not collect £200, go straight to www.flightpledge.org.uk.
