Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Welcome back to another beautiful day at sea with Mother Cabrini.
One of the biggest hurdles for me to get over with Catholicism was the papacy. Truly, I believed all the misconceptions about the pope. I thought Catholics believed the pope was God, that he was perfect. I didn’t get the point of him. I didn’t have any clue about the biblical significance of giving the keys of the kingdom to Peter. I was truly ignorant and willfully so.
Mother Cabrini is going to talk a lot about the pope in our readings today. During 1895, Pope Leo XIII was pope and he is generally considered a good pope.
Let’s hear her thoughts by turning to page 116.
