The tearing of the veil indicated God was now available to all without intervention of a human priest as Christ became our priest.
RCs have rebuilt a "veil" in the form of a door.
IF forgiveness was an essential aspect of Roman Catholicism......why aren't these doors open all the time?
What if the poor Roman Catholic doesn't make it this time or doesn't live long enough to pass through one of these doors??
What a convoluted belief system.
“When Christ died the veil in the Temple separating people from the Holy of Holies was torn from top to bottom.”
Yep. “Rent in twain”.
(Good post.)
I have already explained what the Holy Door symbolizes, it is a Door to Saint Peters. The Door/gate and opening it is a visible reminder for all to open the door to Christ [John 10:37] was read at the Liturgical ceremony when Pope Francis opened the door to Saint Peters on Christmas eve.
The Church is where Christ makes Himself and means of His Grace fully available in the Sacraments, i.e. visible signs of God’s Grace [yes I know your view of sacraments is different].
So one is called in a jubilee year to 1st go back to confession and ask forgiveness for sins committed, then work on reconciliation in proper order, family members that we have had a fallen out, friends and others at the local parish, and pursue reconciliation with fellow Catholics and then take that and work for peace and reconciliation with others.
The article above gives a pretty quick and clear concise of what the Jubilee year 2025 is about. Not saying you agree with it, but at least you will see what it actually is, not some caricature per what we have read in many posts in this thread already.
According to Josephus, the priests added a cord to the veil every year. When it was torn, the veil was about two feet thick. No human could have torn it, much less from top to bottom.
It's a heresy.
Just like the "treasury of merit"...
