GENESIS 11:1-9
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar;(IRAQ) and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Cardinal Dolan was very perceptive, I think, in his comment that the cardinals need to “work through some grief”
before they can concentrate on the task of selecting a new Pope. It
will take a few days, at least, to adjust to the reality that Benedict
XVI is really gone.
One’s first instinct might be to say that the cardinals must find someone else like Pope Benedict. But that’s probably not right. In 2005 the Holy Spirit called Joseph Ratzinger to the Petrine ministry. Now, in his last dramatic statements, Benedict has told us that the Spirit is calling someone else.
And that’s just as well, because there isn’t anyone in the College of Cardinals like Joseph Ratzinger. There isn’t anyone like Karol Wojtyla, either. For nearly 35 years we have been blessed with the leadership of two towering figures, two world-class intellects. It’s unrealistic to expect that trend to continue. The Church doesn’t always need a great philosopher or theologian in the apostolic palace; sometimes what’s needed is just a firm hand at the helm of Peter’s barque.
In 2005 it was clear that Cardinal Ratzinger was the outstanding figure among the cardinals, and the conclave’s first order of business would be to decide whether he should be the next Pope. This time there is no single prelate of the same stature, and it might take much longer to sort out the possibilities.
Cardinal Dolan was also quite perceptive, I might add, in his listing of the attributes that an ideal candidate would have. (Interesting, isn’t it, that he mentioned the need for a good working knowledge of English? That’s important, certainly, in this age of the social media, when English is the common language of the internet.) Cardinal Dolan might be only a longshot candidate himself—although I wouldn’t dismiss his chances!—but he could be a very influential figure in shaping the result of this conclave.

“I hope that this international event will bring a little bit of light and peace in these complicated times to the hearts of all who experience it and that it brings strength and hope to the poor and sick and also to families and those facing hardship,” the Archbishop of Turin, Mgr. Cesare Nosiglia said. He recalled that “we had spent a lot of time reflecting on this project alongside the relevant Holy See authorities” and that Benedict XVI had given the green light which encouraged them, giving the event an evangelisation and contemplation slant so as to inspire a deep spirituality in faithful during Holy Week.”that particular occasion he said: “This pilgrimage, this visit, is a particularly intense experience for me: maybe because with the passing of the years I have become more sensitive to the message of this extraordinary Icon; perhaps and I would say above all, because I am here as the Successor of Peter and I carry the entire Church, the whole of humanity, in fact, within my heart.” Benedict XVI defined the Shroud as the “Icon of Holy Saturday”.Having stood for some time before this fascinating and mysterious Shroud and observed it in silence, he said: “If thousands and thousands of people come to venerate it without counting those who contemplate it through images it is because they see in it not only darkness but also the light; not so much the defeat of life and of love, but rather victory, the victory of life over death, of love over hatred. They indeed see the death of Jesus, but they also see his Resurrection; in the bosom of death, life is now vibrant, since love dwells within it.”“This is the power of the Shroud: from the face of this "Man of sorrows", who carries with him the passion of man of every time and every place, our passions too, our sufferings, our difficulties and our sins Passio Christi. Passio hominis from this face a solemn majesty shines, a paradoxical lordship.”“This face, these hands and these feet, this side, this whole body speaks. It is itself a word we can hear in the silence. How does the Shroud speak? It speaks with blood, and blood is life! The Shroud is an Icon written in blood; the blood of a man who was scourged, crowned with thorns, crucified and whose right side was pierced. The Image impressed upon the Shroud is that of a dead man, but the blood speaks of his life. Every trace of blood speaks of love and of life. (…) It is like a spring that murmurs in the silence, and we can hear it, we can listen to it in the silence of Holy Saturday.” On Holy Saturday (the day of the Lord’s hiding, as Benedict XVI called it) this year, we will hear the Shroud speak to the world again. It must be heard in silence, in memory of that historic visit which took place in communion with the entire world and with St. Peter’s new successor. This will be the second televised ostension of the sacred cloth since its first live exhibition in the Hall of the Swiss, in the Royal Palace of Turin, in 1973. This time, the Shroud will be exhibited in the Cathedral of Turin during a prayer session led by Mgr. Nosiglia and attended by around 300 faithful.
During the ostension, the Shroud will not be removed from the “bed” on which it lies and this will only be removed from the reliquary and raised so it can be viewed easily. It will remain in the chapel which will in turn become a sort of large reliquary that will ensure best conservation conditions.This year, Benedict XVI’s Year of Faith, a special app is going to be released, making it possible to view the Shroud on Smartphones and tablets for the first time. The app will also include access to special contents, with a zoom function to look at the various parts of the relic in more detail.The app will be available in four languages: Italian, English, Spanish and Portuguese and will have four different sections allowing users to embark on an in-depth exploration of the Holy Shroud: biblical connotations; details of the shroud; the man on the Shroud and scientific findings. More details about the app which should be available by the end of the month will be provided at a later date.

Cardinals prepare for conclave
PADDY AGNEW
With
Benedict XVI having entered into his life of prayer and meditation as
“Roman pontiff emeritus”, the Holy See moved into conclave mode
yesterday when the dean of the college of cardinals, Cardinal Angelo
Sodano, summoned the cardinals to Rome.The cardinals will meet in
the Vatican’s Synod Hall at 9.30am on Monday for the first of their
“general congregations”. These meetings represent a “state of the union”
moment for the Catholic Church at which the cardinals will establish
the date of the conclave to elect a successor to Benedict and also
discuss issues and challenges faced by the church.At a briefing
yesterday, however, Holy See spokesman Fr Federico Lombardi warned
against expecting any immediate announcement of the date, saying the
decision will almost certainly come later in the week.If the cardinals opt to anticipate the conclave, the most likely starting dates are March 10th or 11th.

“Pope Emeritus” or second Pope?
The Camerlengo with his "team" of cardinals
Italian Catholic periodical, Civiltà Cattolica would prefer to call Benedict XVI “Bishop Emeritus of Rome”. Canonists contest Ratzinger’s choice
Andrea Tornielli vatican city “Pope Emeritus” or “Emeritus Roman Pontiff”: these are the titles Benedict XVI chose for himself at the end of his pontificate. This is according to Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi, who reported Benedict XVI’s decision communicated to him by the former Pope’s personal secretary, Georg Gänswein. But in an article published in Civiltà Cattolica, one of Italy’s oldest Catholic periodicals, Canonist Gianfranco Ghirlanda suggested a more suitable title would be “Bishop Emeritus of Rome”. Other Canonists preferred the term “former Pope”, added to the name Joseph Ratzinger, scrapping the papal name Benedict XVI which is linked to the papal acts of his eight years as leader of the Catholic Church. This issue of Civiltà Cattolica never reached news stands so the public was only informed of Ratzinger’s choice. But no one has quite realised the implications of the existence of a Pope and a “Pope Emeritus”. Benedict XVI cleared the field of any potential objections, by pledging complete respect and obedience to his successor, whoever this turned out to be. The fact remains, however, that the outgoing Pope is no longer Pope, regardless of whether he continues to give his whole life in service to the Church, through intercessory prayer, “hidden from the world.” “He who gives up the papal ministry for any reason other than death, remains a bishop of course, but is no longer pope as he loses all primatial power because he did not gain this through Episcopal consecration but directly from Christ, after his legitimate election,” Fr. Ghirlanda wrote. If we go by this statement, attributing the title of Pope, albeit Emeritus, to Joseph Ratzinger is problematic. Referring to him as “former Pope” or “former Roman Pontiff” is quite different. These definitions clearly indicate that Ratzinger has renounced the papacy definitively as they contain a reference to the past. “Pope Emeritus” on the other hand risks insinuating he is a second Pope.One gets the impression that little reflection was given to Ratzinger’s current title, from both a canonistic and theological point of view. It is not Ratzinger’s resignation that is being questioned, which is in compliance with the Code of Canon Law, but the need for careful reflection when thinking about how the former pope fits into the Holy See framework now.WHEN I WAS 6 YEARS OLD JESUS WAS AT THE FOOT OF MY BED PRAYING FOR ME WITH LOVELY COLOURS COMING FROM HIS STOMACH AREA AND THE WHITE SO POWERFUL THAT JESUS WAS.BUT THE BLINDING WHITE WAS NOT ALL THAT BLINDING.BUT IT WAS JESUS I JUST KNEW FOR SOME REASON.JESUS JUST PRAYED FOR ME BUT NEVER SAID A WORD TO ME.BUT THEN 30 OR SO YEARS LATER I WAS WATCHING A SHOW ON THE SHROUD OF TURIN.AND TO MY SURPRISE THE FACE OF JESUS ON THAT SHROUD WAS THE VERY FACE I SEEN ON JESUS PRAYING FOR ME 30 YEARS EARLIER.SO I MYSELF BELIEVE THAT THE SHROUD IS THE ACTUAL CLOTH JESUS WAS PUT IN AND RESURRECTED TO HEAVEN IN.THERES NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THE SHROUD IS OUR JEWISH MESSIAH AND KINGS IMAGE JESUS THE GOD OF ISRAEL AND THE WHOLE EARTH.THE ONLY WAY TO SALVATION.NO OTHER.AND LOOK AT THAT AWESOME FACE.HE IS THE ONE FULFILLING ALL THE PROPHECIES.AND THIS MESSIAH WILL BE RULING FROM JERUSALEM FOREVER AND EVER-NEVER ENDING.TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THAT FACE.HE WILL BE LEADING ALL ENEMIES OF ISRAEL TO THEIR DESTRUCTION AND WILL PROTECT ISRAEL FOREVER.THANK YOU KING JESUS.COME QUICKLY OUR AWESOME GOD OF ISRAEL AND THE WHOLE EARTH.WERE PATIENTLY WAITING KING JESUS.

Ostension of the Holy Shroud on televisions worldwide
Holy Shroud app
Holy Saturday (30 March 2013) in Easter week is going to be a highly spiritual day, with the Holy Shroud being exhibited to the whole world in a live television broadcast. A new app for the Holy Shroud is due out soon
Domenico Agasso Jr. Turin In these epic and mystery-filled days, Benedict XVI gives his final gift to the Archdiocese of Turin and to the world: a televised ostension of the Holy Shroud on Holy Saturday (30 March). The Archbishop Emeritus of Turin, Cardinal Severino Poletto, told Italy’s 3rd biggest daily La Stampa, that in his last personal greeting to him as Pope, Benedict XVI reminded him of his visit to Turin on 2 May 2010, to see the Holy Shroud.“I hope that this international event will bring a little bit of light and peace in these complicated times to the hearts of all who experience it and that it brings strength and hope to the poor and sick and also to families and those facing hardship,” the Archbishop of Turin, Mgr. Cesare Nosiglia said. He recalled that “we had spent a lot of time reflecting on this project alongside the relevant Holy See authorities” and that Benedict XVI had given the green light which encouraged them, giving the event an evangelisation and contemplation slant so as to inspire a deep spirituality in faithful during Holy Week.”that particular occasion he said: “This pilgrimage, this visit, is a particularly intense experience for me: maybe because with the passing of the years I have become more sensitive to the message of this extraordinary Icon; perhaps and I would say above all, because I am here as the Successor of Peter and I carry the entire Church, the whole of humanity, in fact, within my heart.” Benedict XVI defined the Shroud as the “Icon of Holy Saturday”.Having stood for some time before this fascinating and mysterious Shroud and observed it in silence, he said: “If thousands and thousands of people come to venerate it without counting those who contemplate it through images it is because they see in it not only darkness but also the light; not so much the defeat of life and of love, but rather victory, the victory of life over death, of love over hatred. They indeed see the death of Jesus, but they also see his Resurrection; in the bosom of death, life is now vibrant, since love dwells within it.”“This is the power of the Shroud: from the face of this "Man of sorrows", who carries with him the passion of man of every time and every place, our passions too, our sufferings, our difficulties and our sins Passio Christi. Passio hominis from this face a solemn majesty shines, a paradoxical lordship.”“This face, these hands and these feet, this side, this whole body speaks.

(…) It is like a spring that murmurs in the silence, and we can hear it, we can listen to it in the silence of Holy Saturday.” On Holy Saturday (the day of the Lord’s hiding, as Benedict XVI called it) this year, we will hear the Shroud speak to the world again. It must be heard in silence, in memory of that historic visit which took place in communion with the entire world and with St. Peter’s new successor. This will be the second televised ostension of the sacred cloth since its first live exhibition in the Hall of the Swiss, in the Royal Palace of Turin, in 1973. This time, the Shroud will be exhibited in the Cathedral of Turin during a prayer session led by Mgr. Nosiglia and attended by around 300 faithful.
During the ostension, the Shroud will not be removed from the “bed” on which it lies and this will only be removed from the reliquary and raised so it can be viewed easily. It will remain in the chapel which will in turn become a sort of large reliquary that will ensure best conservation conditions.This year, Benedict XVI’s Year of Faith, a special app is going to be released, making it possible to view the Shroud on Smartphones and tablets for the first time. The app will also include access to special contents, with a zoom function to look at the various parts of the relic in more detail.The app will be available in four languages: Italian, English, Spanish and Portuguese and will have four different sections allowing users to embark on an in-depth exploration of the Holy Shroud: biblical connotations; details of the shroud; the man on the Shroud and scientific findings. More details about the app which should be available by the end of the month will be provided at a later date.

Until a new Pope is chosen, the Vatican will be run by a crafty cardinal who has the place wired.
Tarcisio Cardinal Bertone has been tapping the phones of high-ranking members of the church hierarchy for more than a year to find the culprits who leaked embarrassing internal documents to reporters, a church official admitted Thursday.

“Some wiretaps or some checks” have been authorized, said the Rev. Federico Lombardi, a Vatican spokesman.
The secret surveillance operation involved the wiretapping of “two or
three” telephone lines, Lombardi said. He did not say whose lines.

Bertone has been portrayed in news reports — that were based on the “Vatileaks” he has been trying to stop — as a Machiavellian figure who undermined former Pope Benedict.
But now, Bertone, as acting head of the Vatican, has no Pope to check his power.

Bertone reportedly enlisted Domenico Giani, head of the Vatican police, to tap the phone calls and intercept the emails of several cardinals and bishops in the Curia, the governing body of the Catholic Church, the Italian magazine Panorama reported.
Now Bertone, 78, reportedly has the goods on some of the cardinals who will vote on a replacement for Benedict, according to the magazine.

Bertone was depicted as a major player in the Vatican intrigue in a
book by an Italian journalist that was based on papal documents stolen
by the Pope’s butler, Paolo Gabriele.
After he was busted, Gabriele said he leaked the documents to protect the Pope and expose “evil and corruption” inside the Vatican.
