“The Holy See”
Just WTH does that mean?
“See” is an English form of the Latin word “Sede” meaning chair, which has Biblical roots (Matthew 23:1-5 follows):
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 “Everything they do is done for people to see
Sometimes it is hard to see the connection between the Catholic Church and the life of the chosen people before Christ, but I think at least in this area, Pope Francis has made it easier to see, and so easier to see how Christ’s words can be lived out in our day in the way that people would have lived them out in His. Living them out under Pope Benedict didn’t have quite the same feel. And so, thank you for your question—in answering it, I’ve found something else to be grateful for today.
Forget the ‘See’ usage. It’s the latching onto the word ‘Holy’ that should be viewed with possible disdain. The mowhawmuhdunz attach ‘holy’ to all things mowhawmuhd, the false prophet.
Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of the living God. That is the foundation of Christianity. If it ain’t tied to him, it ain’t holy.
