Padania is the name given to the northern Italian state that Bossi has just
proclaimed. Partenia is the virtual diocese that Bishop Jacques Gaillot has
created on the Web (he was stripped of his actual French diocese by the
pope for being too liberal and given Partenia, a defunct North African
diocese now in the hands of "the infidels," instead).
