“There were many synagogues but there was only one Temple. To imagine
the impact, we would have to think of someone entering the Vatican,
overthrowing the tables of those who sold medals and holy pictures and
statuettes, and going on to smash up the computers in the Vatican bank. What
would happen?”
Just a few thoughts
·
That Temple was levelled by the Romans in the
year 70 AD. Only the Wailing Wall remains!
Spiritually we are the temples where God dwells! Is cleansing needed?
·
1959 - The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most
rapidly and widely ratified international human rights treaty in history.
Yet here we are reflecting on the horrendous abuse of children after this day
in 1959!
Now we discover that Pope John Paul II, who was declared a saint, has been
found to ignore knowledge about a bishop/cardinal who was an abuser.

The Parish Choir members
are saying ‘Hello’
On Sunday we celebrate the feast
of Christ The King [or King of the Universe]
I have always felt rather bemused by that name…… I picture him as a servant of
the people, as a shepherd of a flock, as a social justice activist.
