WYD08: What has happened and will happen?
More on World Youth Day 2008 from Inside the Vatican by Andrew Rabel
(This is the second in a series of regular, exclusive reports on World Youth Day preparations by Australian Inside the Vatican correspondent, Andrew Rabel who will be reporting on WYD events from Sydney).
In an unprecedented move, Pope Benedict will holiday for three days in Australia before participating in World Youth Day events in Sydney, culminating in a final Mass to be celebrated by him at Randwick Racecourse.
According to Bishop Anthony Fisher OP, coordinator of WYD08, "We were asked to nominate a suitable location for his stay and have recommended somewhere serene, beautiful and suitable for the leader of the world’s Catholics. He will have the opportunity to see some of Australia’s beautiful flora and fauna."
In reply to speculation about the identity of the place Fisher replied, "We cannot, of course, disclose the location; he is a Head of State seeking private time and has asked that his privacy be respected...."
I was wondering if your Pope had ever read this verse?
ReplyDeleteMatthew 23:9
This verse States that we are not allowed to address anyone here on earth as father because God and God only. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the only one to be called Father. Anyone who due to his position and is called father it is his choice. This verse tells us that thatis following another god and those who he is over are being lead down the path that will bring death to their spirit.
