  • Habemus Papam.

     

     

    He is not remotely as progressive as I would have wanted (unsurprising), though ground-breaking in many ways (pleasantly surprising).

    It is done; I submit to our Holy Father's wisdom in informing my conscience, which has primacy in so much as I can discern it, with assurance that God the Spirit dwells within him as Vicar of Christ.

    Our Body is whole again.

    And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is?

    But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

    Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?

    Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.

    And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

    And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

    And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
