So... everyone now knows how to spell my name, minus the "e" at the end.
But I was not named because of religious belief. I was named because my Daddy as a little boy, loved a bigger girl called Benedicte.
I've always deeply loved my name.
but now, this new pope, who believes in all the things I do not about the catholic church, has gone and taken my name. My beautiful, feminine, unusual, unknown, not from religion in the first place name!
Not only that, I discovered last week that his birthday is 16th April 1927. Mine is 8th April 1972. It's all far too close for comfort!
Yes, of course I have issues.
How dare he????????????
Grrrrrrrrrrr.
