![]() Thomas laughs, telling him he is being "really useful." Spencer just groans.Īt Knapford Station, some of the engines are discussing why the Earl would want rails and big heavy stones. Spencer denies that he has anything to do with the long line of trucks behind him, until the Earl tells him to couple up to the train. That afternoon, Thomas finds Spencer at the Blue Mountain Quarry. Percy asks what Spencer is doing and he replies that he has taken the Earl to the docks for an important meeting with the dock manager. However, it is Spencer, who jumps in surprise. ![]() Later that morning, Percy is shunting at the docks, when he spies what he thinks is Thomas and jumps at him. Nevertheless he works hard and is just about to catch up to Spencer, when the streamlined engine turns off the mainline, saying he has special work to complete with the Earl. Gordon thinks it is unfair that he has a long line of coaches behind him, yet Spencer does not. When morning comes, the two engines begin their race. He then has a slight argument about who is faster with Gordon, ending with a decision to race the very next day. Then, one evening, Spencer returns back to Sodor and arrives at Tidmouth Sheds, saying that the Earl has asked for him again. He then mentions something about King Godred's golden crown, leaving a rather puzzled Thomas. Sir Robert Norramby clambers aboard Millie’s coach and thanks Thomas for helping him. Millie explains that she had been locked up in her shed whilst the Earl was travelling, but she is now able to steam freely again. Thomas guesses she that it is Millie, which she is. When he arrives, a little blue bubbly French engine rolls up next to him. The next morning, Thomas is sent to Brendam Docks to pick up some more crates to take to the estate at Ulfstead Castle. He then mentions that he promised someone called Millie that he would be at the castle by 2:00, but none of the engines know who he is talking about. Thinking it is for somebody else, he clambers back into his coach and says goodbye to them all. The Fat Controller greets a very surprised Sir Robert Norramby, who gets confused about whom the party is for. All the engines then gather at Knapford Station and soon Spencer steams in bringing the Earl. All the engines become very excited and soon there are lots of preparations for the Earl's arrival. The Fat Controller comes up and tells all the engines that his old friend Sir Robert Norramby will be arriving back on Sodor from travelling the world. None of them know why, but Emily knows Spencer is coming and James thinks a special visitor is arriving. Then, one day, all the engines and Thomas' coaches are sent to the washdown. Percy thinks it is alive and runs away, but Thomas stays and wonders why the suit of armour was there and who it belonged to. Thomas biffs a truck into another, causing a crate to fall out. ![]() He has been credited with helping to end Communist rule in his native Poland and the rest of Europe.One morning at Brendam Docks, Thomas and Percy are shunting, but not very carefully. By the time of his death, he had named most of the College of Cardinals, consecrated or co-consecrated many of the world's bishops, and ordained many priests. As part of his special emphasis on the universal call to holiness, he beatified 1,344, and also canonised 483 people, more than the combined tally of his predecessors during the preceding five centuries. He was one of the most travelled world leaders in history, visiting 129 countries during his pontificate. ![]() He maintained the church's previous positions on such matters as abortion, artificial contraception, the ordination of women, and a celibate clergy, and although he supported the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, he was seen as generally conservative in their interpretation. John Paul II attempted to improve the Catholic Church's relations with Judaism, Islam, and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Born in Poland, John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope since Adrian VI in the 16th century and the second longest-serving pope after Pius IX in modern history. Wojtyła adopted the name of his predecessor in tribute to him. He was later canonised as Pope Saint John Paul II.Ĭardinal Wojtyła was elected pope on the third day of the second papal conclave of 1978, which was called after John Paul I, who had been elected in the first papal conclave of 1978 earlier in August to succeed Pope Paul VI, died after 33 days. Pope John Paul II ( Latin: Ioannes Paulus II Italian: Giovanni Paolo II Polish: Jan Paweł II born Karol Józef Wojtyła – 2 April 2005) was head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State from 1978 until his death in 2005.
