Rome 24/10 – Day 23: The Deposition

At 7:30 the sun rose here in Rome.

It set at 18:18.

The Ave Maria is at 18:30

I think a church in the neighborhood is ringing the Ave Maria.  I’ll try to capture it.  It was 3-4-5-1 at exactly 18:30.  Hmmm.

At Ss. Trinità (aka the Parish™) the great main altar painting of the Trinity by Guido Reni was taken down.  It was quite a project.  I’ll have a video of the process processed soon.  The painting will go to an exposition.

On a cool rainy day, this was a good lunch, though it required a nap.

This was at one of my favorite places, one of the consistently best in the rione, Rosina.  I really enjoy this place.  It is not for large groups.

Thank you, O Lord, for this day.

In churchy news… the Cardinal elect from Indonesia has declined to become a Cardinal. HERE I wouldn’t mind if a few more did, too. I have a little list.

He saw the list.

Pray for the soul of liberation theologian Gustavo Gutierrez, who has died.

At walking together about walking togetherity a couple things.  The final document has been given to the participants: paper copy.  Not email.  Not electronic.  They have been admonished, virtually threatened, not to share it, take photos of it, quote it.  Of course who would?  Canary trap.  Just as the Stasi could put variants into texts to see where the leak came from, the walkers togetherers could just as well do that.   So, the meeting isn’t over but its over.

But it’s not over.  There is going to be three-day conference at the Jesuit university (where else) about walking together and Vatican II.   You can imagine what this will be about: the synod is the natural outcome of the fons and culmen of Vatican II which (now) requires that everything imaginable must be completely redefined and retooled: Cult, Code, Creeed (liturgy, law, doctrine) … everything.  Even history (read: memory hole).

Will this every end?   Not for a while: the point of the whole thing is PROCESS.
