was years ago. It was in the sacristy, to begin the solemn celebration of the feast of the patron. The altar boy looked compassionately to the bishop and the spontaneity that characterizes cheeky boys of our time he snapped: "No et sortir amb això fa vergonya the cap?" (Are not you ashamed of wearing it out in your head?). I remembered the phrase the last 25 as the crowd of prelates climbed the steps of the presbytery of Santa Maria del Mar in the beatification of Father Tous. Not far from me Mossèn Ll., Nearer ninety than eighty, grumbled because they had not booked site up, he had been parish priest here and there, closer in spirit to the Father Tous that some of the priests who occupied a seat next to his eminence and excellence (what was in the entourage inside the former secretary Archbishop unable to display other merit than mediocrity?).
