I held my breath to begin the read of this summary. I exhaled, grateful there was no apparent need for a myriad translation, or a jillion interpretations. (Apparent to me at least.)
To onyx’s point, yes, it is going to be hard to see the enemy of the sacred planting his shoes on sacred ground in the Vatican.
Dear Holy Father has been a real contradiction speaking on political things outside of faith and morals leaving confusion for me.
But then I think of Jesus Christ, and how He was a contradiction to people in the time of Jesus, who didn’t understand, or outright rejected what He was saying, teaching and reflecting.
I very much want to be on the right side of God concerning, “persona Christie”, of our earthly Shepherd.
The Holy Spirit has never let us down in all of history, so, I must lean on Him and trust Him to do His work in the Vatican, and in me.
But, regarding this summary so far, it seemed to represent a better rhetorical showing for Pope Francis, in that no real bombshells were dropped in this outing. I was relieved.
As do I every time.
You put everything in such a proper perspective for me.
Thank you so much, dearest, sweet RitaOK.
God bless and keep you.
