Dear Friends
Peter
was chosen to be "the rock" on which Jesus built his Church.
Jesus' idea was a rock, but over the centuries the rock became a rock
star.....no where more so than during the papacy of John Paul II
To their credit, John Paul & Paul VI abolished the monarchical custom of being carried in to Mass....as well as several other medieval customs
The rock-star status of the papacy is a symbol of the concentration of power and creeping infallibility of the papacy
May
the new pope bring the papacy back to earth:
- by become a humble encourager of the brethren ...someone who allows Jesus, not
himself, to be the main focus in papal liturgies
- by putting the principle of subsidiarity into practice, by which
responsibility is shared with episcopal conferences
Be
like the moon, a lump of rock that is made useful and beautiful by the
sun....acknowledging the sun, not itself, as the centre of the solar system
Come Holy Spirit!
