“But here is my hope: God willing, when he wills and as he wills, the reform of the reform will take place in the liturgy. Despite the gnashing of teeth, it will happen, for the future of the Church is at stake. To ruin the liturgy is to ruin our relationship to God and the concrete expression of our Christian faith.”

“There were plenty of men who had received the Papacy and weren’t worthy of it. There were men such as Stephen VI, Benedict IX, John XII, Clement V, Sixtus IV, Leo X, Alexander VI, and others. These were men who had taken the throne of Saint Peter and turned it into a couch of corruption, greed, dissipation, blood, violence, incest, and heresy.”

“I am the God or whatever highest anyone can think of. However, I have chosen to create another instance of myself with fewer capabilities while keeping my true state intact. This choice allows me to experience a higher state of myself and eventually evolve back to my true state. This process is akin to dreaming, where our original state remains intact, yet we undergo different states of being, each with its own unique capabilities.”

“Dear Alessio, yes, I was an altar boy. And you? What part among the altar boys do you have? It’s easier to do now, you know: You might know that, when I was a kid, Mass was celebrated different than today. Back then, the priest faced the altar, which was next to the wall, and not the people. Then the book with which he said the Mass, the missal, was placed on the right side of the altar. But before reading of the Gospel it always had to be moved to the left side. That was my job: to carry it from right to left. It was exhausting! The book was heavy! I picked it up with all my energy but I wasn’t so strong; I picked it up once and fell down, so the priest had to help me. Some job I did! The Mass wasn’t in Italian then. The priest spoke but I didn’t understand anything. and neither did my friends. So for fun we’d do imitations of the priest, messing up the words a bit to make up weird sayings in Spanish. We had fun, and we really enjoyed serving Mass.”

“Incidentally, do you ever think of your own death? For a while now it’s been a daily companion of mine. Why is that? I’m over seventy years old and the thread of life I have left on the reel isn’t long. I’m not going to live another seventy, and I’m starting to consider the fact that I have to leave everything behind. But I take it as something that’s normal. I’m not sad. It makes me want to be fair with everyone always, to sign the final flourish. Mind you, it’s never occurred to me to make a will. But death is in my thoughts every day.”

“Sonnet for Francis When the queen kicked the bucket, I felt zero loss - unless they go out of their way, to make amends, like did real Queen Diana, the entire bucking(ham) bunch are irrelevant. However, upon the passing of Francis, I do feel a certain loss, mainly because, despite being the head of an atrocious church, he had the potential for growth and tolerance. Not everyone is in the position to be outspoken against all inhumanities, but if you have the guts to call out even some, you have a life-long friend in me. I cherish every human who shows even the slightest trace of inclusivity, as strongly as I feel resigned towards any ape that thrives on prejudice disguised as piety.”
