Why would a Catholic tourist go there? Put simply, it is the Cathedral Church of Rome and since 312 AD has been the Episcopal Chair of the Popes as Bishops of Rome and where the Papacy was situated until 1377 when the Vatican became the Papal residence. St. John Lateran, however, remains the Pope’s Cathedral Church, not St. Peter’s Basilica. On the great façade, which was slightly damaged after a bomb exploded following John Paul II’s assertive preaching against the Mafia in Italy, you will find these words in Latin: THE MOST HOLY LATERAN CHURCH, MOTHER AND MISTRESS OF ALL CHURCHES OF THE CITY AND THE WORLD. It is not without significance for us Canadians that at the recent Canonization of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, St. John Lateran hosted a gathering for First Nations People at which the new documentary on her life, produced by Salt and Light Television, was premiered. St. Kateri was a simple and devout Mohawk woman who witnessed to the love of Jesus during the early years of contact between Europeans and the Indigenous Peoples of the New World—she is called the “Lily of the Mohawks.” This now leads me to my topic for this article.

The 48-page pastoral letter from the Conferencia Episcopal Boliviana (Bolivian Episcopal Conference, CEB), titled “Today I put Life and Death Before You,” said, “The drug trade, in its strategy of expansion and impunity, penetrates even state structures and law enforcement, both past and present, buying consciences.” It went on to define Bolivia as a producer of raw material and as manufacturer, country of transit, and consumer of cocaine.

  • And Feast of Pope Saint John Paul II (10-22-2027)
    Date of Creation (10-22-4004) and Feast of Pope Saint John Paul II (10-22-2027) You must understand that God talks in numbers. There are 10 numbers (0 thru 9/9 thru 0) [see East]. Now consider “0”, and take your calculator and add “01”. Your calculator said “1” because “0” to the left has no meaning. Take My Birth Day 03-02, you say 3-2 and it make sense, however, the “0” to the right has meaning, 03-02 {Minus} 03-20 = 18 Days [see South]. Also, there are no “0” Planets. For example, 1 = Mercury, 2 = Venus, 3 = Earth, and 4 = Mars. These are the “Terrestrial Planets”, having “Earth-like” composition. In mythology the God “Mars” is the husband, or consort, of the Goddess “Venus” [see below]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_planet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_(mythology) Also, “0” is a measurement of time and is equal to a “Circle” (360o Degrees). https://www.reference.com/math/circle-360-degrees-98d9826802725ad6# For instance, today is 5-14, and within 1 Year [365 Days] you arrive back where you began 5-14 (the Earth revolved around the Sun in a “Circle”). The Date of Creation, see below, is 10-22-4004 BC – just by moving “0” [in addition to a “Circle” or “Holy Cross”, and seeing that 27 divided by 9 = 3 and 36 divided by 18 = 2 – see My Birth Day 3-2] you get: {4 = Mars or North} 0044 – 0404 = 360o 0404 – 4004 = 3600 4004 – 4040 = 0036 4040 – 4400 = 360o {3 = Earth or West} {1 = Mercury or East} 0033 – 0303 = 270o 0011 – 0101 = 90o 0303 – 3003 = 2700 0101 – 1001 = 900 3003 – 3030 = 0027 1001 – 1010 = 009 3030 – 3300 = 270o
