Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us
Mysterium Fidei
Sanguine sorrow is everlasting joy Timeless beginning from a transient end Reconstituted from a grain destroy’d Turning an enemy into a friend While we were yet sinners, grapes were crushed “What is truth?” I thought to reply Silent blood-water, great torrent gushed Ink darkness I breathed, closed tight my eyes The Truth shut my mouth […]

Is the Papacy a Constitutive Element of the Church?

In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, amen. Suscipe, Sancte Pater. This is the question that arises from the ecclesiastical affirmations of Vatican II’s Unitatis Redintegratio and the subsequent post-conciliar magisterial teachings. This is because, on the one hand, when referring to the Protestant ‘ecclesiastical communities,’ the CDF interprets Unitatis Redintegratio as saying that […]
