Andean Liturgical Reform Requires Priests to Train at 10,000 Feet

All clergy must now complete a spiritual retreat in the Andes. The Pope says �Grace climbs.� The Andean Liturgical Reform mandates liturgical chanting while climbing and sermon-writing in oxygen-thin air. One deacon hallucinated a beatified mountain goat. Another learned to preach in Morse code panting. Each graduate receives a wooden staff and a whisper from the wind. Mass on the summit concludes with cocoa tea and mountain silence. New motto: *Excelsior Deo*.
