Vatican II 1962-1965 convened by Pope John XXIII at age 81 and who died during its first year |
Pope John XXIII, elected Pope at age 77 in 1958 |
Pope Francis I, elected Pope at age 76 in 2013 |
Will Pope Francis I convene a Vatican III, the 22nd Ecumenical Council of the Roman Catholic Church? |
The Call is Clear
While Facebook and Twitter have the virtue of astonishing electronic speed and have been known to facilitate revolutions during the ferment of the so-called Arab Spring (Egypt; Libya) the Roman Catholic Church has something more valuable than speed: Continuity.
It is 2000 years old.
It's Pope has a direct lineage from one of the Twelve Disciples, Peter.
He can speak "ex cathedra" (from the Throne of Peter) and his word is taken as the direct word of Christ since the Pope is the "Vicar of Christ" on earth.
Jack Dorsey, Co-founder of Twitter |
Mark Zuckerberg, Founder of Facebook |
Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey are the vicars of no one.
Since politicians, paralyzed by moneyed lobbying interests, will NEVER respond to the crisis of Global Warming in time,
only an organization with one seventh of the world's population which can be marshaled into ethical action has any chance at all of saving the planet from the self-destruction of human avarice.
The call is clear.
And it comes from Heaven.
A Heaven full of acid rain.
