Aye Laddie, and kind it is of ye to offer hope that
even a Puritan might find a gate to St. Peter's. 

But would he enjoy it should he find it?  I fear on
arriving there I might wonder, "Wouldn't a solid iron
gate have been grand enough?  Does it have to be all
pearlie?  

And those streets; what is wrong with a carefully laid
cobblestone street or a flagstone path? 

Heaven may be all too grand for plain folk, Knox
Duncan.  We care little for rococo designs and rosie
cheeked cherubs.

As the Witty Wag from Lake Woebegone oft observes, "We
enjoy our mournful oatmeal."
