Not exactly a humble servants raiment.
INDEED.
Though I find the serfs as guilty as the arrogant pontificators. The serfs LIKE to have pomp and circumstance and to feel elevated BY THAT TANGIBLE GILT AND FINERY
instead of BY CHRIST’S LOVE FOR THEM TO THE POINT OF DEATH.
Therein is another level of blasphemy and idolatry all in one.
I’m still waiting for a pope or any denominational head or even a pastor . . . to go about in sackcloth and ashes . . . even for merely a month . . . or a year . . . or one day a week.
Perhaps WHEN [vs if] the traumas really begin in overt common-place intensity . . . folks will suddenly find time bother, and courage to do so.
