And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silence and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen. Lk 9:28-36. Both had been dead for centuries, and we can be fairly certain they were not wearing name tags. Was this knowledge simply placed in the Apostles' consciousness by Divine action? Aquinas, Summa Theologica,.

The papal homily was, in and of itself, not problematic. You can read the full text. On the Holy See's website. It was a moving tribute to anyone who makes the ultimate sacrifice for Christ and His Church. The problem was not what the pope said, but rather what he did NOT say. The redoubtable Father Z also has commented. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
