The Pope steps in it yet again. There are “charitable” ways to interpret his words but clumsily phrased conciliatory platitudes that gloss over truth and error are, even at the best of times, painful for me to hear, and they grate when they come forth from the Holy Father.

I’d love to see the two of you meet and chat. Whatever your faults, and what I perceive as misconceptions, you are more zealous for what you perceive as truth than a whole lot of other people, and perhaps some of that could rub off on the Holy Father.

Joh_17:11  And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

What an abhorrent insult to call a human faker, poser the Holy Father, God of all Creation; the only perfect being...Do you Catholics really have that much disdain for the ONLY, REAL Holy Father that you would give that moniker to a mere, failed human being???

Last I checked, no one was calling Francis the God of all Creation or the only perfect being, and no one was singing the three-fold Sanctus to him.

Hebrew uses repetition to demonstrate the comparative and superlative degrees of adjectives.

In the last supper discourse, context wold make it clear that, while at least in the Greek rendering of a Hebrew Speech, even if qdsh was used only once, this was shorthand for the superlative three-fold employment found in Isaiah 6.

If, upon reflection, one can’t distinguish the three fold from the single fold use, NBL, NBL.
