Corpus Christi Watershed

Jesus said to them: “I have come into this world so that a sentence may fall upon it, that those who are blind should see, and those who see should become blind. If you were blind, you would not be guilty. It is because you protest, ‘We can see clearly,’ that you cannot be rid of your guilt.”

Latin Mass In The Pantheon (Rome)

·

NE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE places we visited in Rome was the Pantheon. It was much larger and more beautiful than we would have expected. Many people might not realize the Pantheon has been a Catholic Church since the 7th Century (“St. Mary and the Martyrs”). Recently, a Solemn Mass in the Extraordinary Form was celebrated there by Don Riccardo Petroni, a priest of the diocese of Rome.

Here’s a 2009 photograph [pdf], taken as I first entered the Pantheon.
