Excellent picture! I just dressed up as him for our Vacation Bible School kids last week (we talked about St. Peter and the papacy on the last day). I carefully scrutinized pictures of him to make my poster board miter as accurate as possible. Maybe I'll have to put up pictures on my blog later today of my outfit. The wig made of white yarn was excellent!
Hi Karen! Thanks for popping in to my blog. I recently returned from a pilgrimage to Rome/Assisi and when I saw Papa so close, w/in just a few feet, I was trembling and overcome with emotion. I was anti Catholic Church for years, (not Catholic's per se, as I had many Catholic friends) but to be in the safety of the CC now is just the most freeing thing I've ever known, and the authority I know is what I craved after years in the fray of "Burger King of Kings" religion my way.
Bless you. We're from Grand Island originally. Omaha's great though. Have you ever been to the Holy Family Shrine?
Not 100 people in the United States hate the Roman Catholic Church, but millions hate what they mistakenly think the Roman Catholic Church is. -- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
I returned to the "First Pre-denominational Church of Christ," (as my husband brilliantly 'dubbed' it) aka: the Catholic Church in Dec. 2004, after my husband told me he wanted to go back to the "faith of his youth." The decision to swim across the Tiber has cost dearly, but has been worth it all! AND we are new grandparents of twin boys this summer, 2010!
