Thanks for the response!
Revelation makes very little sense until is read as a parallel to what is taking place during the liturgy of the mass - It describes the liturgical action taking place in heaven in eternal parallel with heavenly time taking place simultaneously with the finite mass here on on earth.
Revelation describes the point in time where the heavenly eucharist and the secular eucharist converge.
It is actually amazing. The physical Church buildings themselves used to automatically reflect the proper theological understanding of this parallel to Revelation: when the new city of Jerusalem comes down and unites with its bride the Church- Catholic Church architecture used to always contain the images from Revelation - the saints, the angels, the high walls, the alpha and omega, and etc. Even the lamb holding the flag that you see is from Revelation (usually on the ceiling). So this used to be well known that Revelation was the heavenly liturgy united to the mass.
A description of Heavenly worship is in Revelations.
Sorry if this was too long! I also love Luke as well.
On topic - this Pope needs a LOT of prayer!
I appreciate that explanation, and the excellent link.
I pray for Papa Francisco every day at Mass.
I’m into Catholic history and used to be kind of a dab hand the subject of Bad Popes. But I’ve never seen anything as weird as this. I do suspect some form of abnormal psychology and/or dementia.
And the Enemy, cruel as he is, will of course exploit any human weakness.
PRAY!!
