The attack on the dove was from a sea predator and a land predator.
The attack on the dove was from a white bird and a black bird.
The attack was coordinated. If you’ve ever had any experience feeding birds, the ‘pecking order’ is seagulls, then crows, then the smaller birds, ending with the chickadees and such. They seemed to work in concert.
He’s the Pope, right? Something like that happens to him and there’s no significance to it?
I guess hot CO2 (hot air) going up, with strings attached, and in a colorful package is as symbolic as you can be.
The hot air becomes as lofty as it can before it pops - the pressure of it ultimately overcoming its physical limitations (reality). In the winter, they sink, littering the ground, getting stuck in trees, coming to rest on the thorns.
The only symbol the Chruch needs is Christ on a crucifix. I can’t think of a more fitting symbol in a year with so much Christian martyrdom.
