Who does something in humility and makes sure everyone knows about it? The hotel he is now living is a 4 star hotel, whereas the Papal Apartment was not so modern and nice. The location of the hotel, against an outer wall of the City, has caused the road on the other side of the wall to be closed for security purposes. John F.

I believe that washing away traditions, no matter what the excuse is, like in this case humility, can be a dangerous mentality that before you know, has erased not only traditions but made a nation something completely unrecognizable from what it previously was, especially in the religious aspect.<br /><br />On the matter of the videos, I hope you can find some way to fix it.<br /><br />Looking forward for your next article.Octavio V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01499690181438513200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-25060870282245078992017-02-20T23:02:08.380-06:002017-02-20T23:02:08.380-06:00I definitely think the traditions should have been...I definitely think the traditions should have been maintained. I would prefer there was still a coronation, I would prefer there was still the Noble Guard, Palatine Guard, the hereditary courtiers, the sedia gestatoria, the Byzantine fans, the canopy, -all of it. <br /><br />Humility is, of course, a good thing, a virtue to aspire to but, in my opinion, what has been done has not really been humble. To me, a dramatic public gesture that doesn't really change anything but makes you "appear" better than others cannot be regarded as true humility. <br /><br />For instance, Pope Francis living in the guest house instead of the papal apartments in the Apostolic Palace. This does no one any good. It is not as though the papal apartments are being rented out and the money given away, it is not as though they are emptied and sealed off so there is no cost to maintaining them, it doesn't save anything, it doesn't spare anyone anything, it doesn't mean the Pope has any less comfort, it is just a gesture for the sake of "appearance". If anything, it makes life harder on the palace staff who have had to change all of their arrangements which have existed for centuries because the Pope must now be served at a different location.<br /><br />To me, an example of humility is Pope St Pius V wearing a hair shirt under his vestments. No one could see that, no one would know about it other than God and those closest to him. I would say that, even if you dislike the monarchical trappings of the papacy, the truly humble thing to do would be to put your own wishes aside and maintain the traditions handed down to you. But, obviously, Pope Francis disagrees.<br /><br />As for the videos, I don't talk about them hear because most people didn't like them but I had kept them up for a while and planned to continue, however, the last Windows upgrade ruined me. Since that time, the Windows sound recorder has not been compatible with the Windows video-making program (go figure) so I have no way to do them anymore. It may be possible, but I don't have the nerd skills to figure it out. I would like to but at the moment, it is impossible.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-70061487050584419012017-02-20T22:42:22.870-06:002017-02-20T22:42:22.870-06:00Very interesting!

Do you consider it important to keep the intricate traditions of the Vatican, like the Tiaras, alive and well or do you think the Pope's choice of humility is good for the Church? I'd wager on the former, but I'd like to hear your answer.<br /><br />Also, I've been watching your youtube videos, do you plan to keep making them or have you discontinued the channel?<br /><br />As always, great read, keep up the good work.<br />Best regards.Octavio V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01499690181438513200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-71335480197981063772017-02-20T08:00:12.427-06:002017-02-20T08:00:12.427-06:00You do not understand the reason modern Popes do n...You do not understand the reason modern Popes do not wear the Triregnum; it is because they are humbler than Jesus Christ.<br /><br />You see, Jesus Christ allowed Himself to be crowned King by His enemies whereas the Pope will not let their friends Crown them as Monarch because humility.<br /><br />Of course, others will note that the reason is not humility greater than Our Lord and Saviour but fear of being mocked by the Kings, Dictators, and Elected leaders, because the TrIregnum signifies the Pope's authority over them whereas Jesus allowed Himself to be mocked by His enemies.<br /><br />So, maybe it is something else; yes, that is it, no Triregnum/Tiara because ecumenism.<br /><br />Ecumenism is the Universal Solvent of Tradition.Mick Jagger Gathers No Mosquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879499915093940176noreply@blogger.com
