You've got it backwards. Christ is risen and he no longer needs a place to rest his head. The Vicar is minding the Church and we are waiting for his return on Clouds of Glory. The Catholic Church is about the triumphant King of Glory.
Pius X was the fisherman in his life and piety. He was the leader and knew that the papacy was much larger than Guiseppe Sarto. When he healed people at their request, he said, "It's not me, it's the power of the Keys."
Triumphalism is for fakes. The Glorious Popes were not fakes.
When JPII abandons triumphalism and forbids the crowds to chant, "John Paul II! We love you!" then, he'll be fitting in the shoes of the fisherman that St. Pius X walked in.
Tiaras, gloves, and jeweled rings are for the Queen of England.
Thank God Paul VI rid the Papacy of its monarchical trappings.
Christ is risen and he no longer needs a place to rest his head.
Wrong. Christ did, and still does, identify with the poor. As should we.
The Catholic Church is about the triumphant King of Glory.
Pure silliness. The Catholic Church is about leading men to God, not lording over them like a prince.
Pius X was, no doubt, a good man, since he smoked an occasional cigar.
The crowds chant for John Paul II because they love him. And that's as it should be.
