In his conclusion, Francis reflected on the paradox of life and death, drawing from both Martin's insights and the reflections of other theologians. He quoted Fr. Alberto Maggi, an Italian Bible scholar, who is among the most active priests in Italy in advocating for full inclusion of LGBTQ+ Catholics in the church, saying, "What Jesus teaches us with this miracle is not so much that the dead rise, but that the living do not die!"

I don’t even know where to begin at this point. Fr. Jimmy needs to be defrocked, and the pope...well, I’ll stop there.
Keep the Faith and pray for deliverance from this scourge.

It’s a”love letter” complete with judgement, imprecatory psalms, ethical commands, threats and redemption but that only through Christ. To ignore the justice of God is to diminish the magnitude of His grace

It’s a love letter from the Bridegroom to His Bride.
