I do not now, have ever, and will never do comments here, BUT if you want a “safe space” to leave comments and have an intelligent discussion of this issue/question of the Ratzingerian faux-abdication and Bergoglian Antipapacy, might I recommend the NonVeniPacem blog.
The proprietor of NonVeniPacem is an independently “set” person who is NOT making nor looking to make any sort of living off of the Church nor off of BLEGGING.
Happy Feast of St. John the Evangelist, to whom we have a VERY strong devotion, especially because of his preface to the Gospel, which is so good, which is one of the greatest pieces of prose ever set to paper, that the Fathers of the Church saw fit to make it the conclusion of EVERY MASS.
The “Last Gospel” is one of the parts of the Mass that I have MEMORIZED IN LATIN, not that it is any great accomplishment, because if you go to daily Mass, you almost can’t help but memorize the Last Gospel.
Think about it. You have either just received Communion – either sacramental OR spiritual Communion. I am convinced that Our Blessed Lord loves to hear us, while He is reposed in our hearts either physically/spiritually or spiritually, to hear us whispering to Him about Him, along with the priest celebrant, these incomparably beautiful words given to “the Beloved Disciple” John by the Holy Ghost, for us to echo:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum.[2] The same was in the beginning with God.
Hoc erat in principio apud Deum.[3] All things were made by Him: and without Him was made nothing that was made.
Omnia per ipsum facta sunt : et sine ipso factum est nihil, quod factum est.[4] In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
In ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hominum :[5] And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
et lux in tenebris lucet, et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt.[6] There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Joannes.[7] This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him.
Hic venit in testimonium ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine, ut omnes crederent per illum.[8] He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light.
Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine.[9] That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.
Erat lux vera, quae illuminat omnem hominem venientem in hunc mundum.[10] He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognovit.[11] He came unto his own, and His own received Him not.
In propria venit, et sui eum non receperunt.[12] But as many as received Him, He gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in His name.
Quotquot autem receperunt eum, dedit eis potestatem filios Dei fieri, his qui credunt in nomine ejus :[13] Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
qui non ex sanguinibus, neque ex voluntate carnis, neque ex voluntate viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt.[14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Et Verbum caro factum est, et habitavit in nobis : et vidimus gloriam ejus, gloriam quasi unigeniti a Patre plenum gratiae et veritatis.
The so-called “Last Gospel” is one of the greatest gifts to humanity in prose ever given. It is an infinite treasure of contemplation of Our Lord. If we have never memorized anything ever – no Shakespeare, no nothing – the one thing to put in to the effort and memorize in both Latin and English is the “Last Gospel”; John, Chapter 1 verses 1 through 14.
