It's called the human condition and the effects of original sin. <br />Don't confuse ceremony with truth. Yes, they are related but one can go through a splendid, intricate ceremony but the heart is not in the truth.<br />If everything was so wonderful back then (and it wasn't) than why did things explode the way they did in literally weeks. It's a question we should not be afraid to ask.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181589320170374720.post-31384451522260671852012-01-28T18:34:24.949-08:002012-01-28T18:34:24.949-08:00Definitely Noe; I was in Rome at the time and was ...Definitely Noe; I was in Rome at the time and was horrified to be in St. Peter's when the damage had just been completed.<br />-DonnachaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181589320170374720.post-29765840515839046062012-01-27T15:43:21.445-08:002012-01-27T15:43:21.445-08:00No, I am quite sure it was Cardinal NoeNo, I am quite sure it was Cardinal NoeFather Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181589320170374720.post-66702546602050069372012-01-26T18:54:27.679-08:002012-01-26T18:54:27.679-08:00The Novus Ordo is moribund.

The pictures can only adumbrate the unique grandeur of the Holy Roman Court.
