I figure anything going on with the Pope is in the Holy Spirit’s job description and since I definitely do not try and tell the Holy Spirit what to do, I just stay in the trenches and be a “mule” for my parish. Move heavy objects, try and teach catechism to teens, help with service projects, stuff like that. Other than that, a daily “Jesus, I trust in You” and Rosary keeps me somewhat sane between Sunday Mass. :)
you said: “I figure anything going on with the Pope is in the Holy Spirit’s job description....”
And I concur. Through good and bad, Christianity has survived due to the faith of Christians and the power of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
