Thoughts on November 13, 2016 (the End of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy)
This week, we closed compassion’s door.
We’ll wall it up with bricks.
It’s just an ancient rite, no more.
Why mention politics?
(I couldn't find news about today's closing of the Doors of Mercy at Roman Catholic cathedrals around the world, so here's an article on
last year’s opening of them. The brickwork to seal the one in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome will start next week.)
