As mentioned at Mr. Akin’s, the much awaited motu proprio arrives on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh year of the century. Coincidence? Most likely not, since that is one of the good Lord’s favourite numbers. Good planning from the Holy See. There can be no more delays.

“Which parish are you from?”

June 2, 2007 | Leave a Comment

…is a question I get from people at the church I visit.
