“Cardinal
Fratelli, let me be strait, I’m not Catholic but I’m not altogether opposed to
Catholicism. My question is: why should we give so much respect to the Pope?”
Dear Bill,
Have you ever worked at a restaurant?
We have many in Tuscany. When all the cooks work according to their skill and
obey the master chef, everything comes out beautifully, the food tastes good
and the service is polite. You may even get a free after-dinner mint.
However, when each cook is doing his
own thing and ignores the head-chef, chaos ensues. The food tastes horrible,
it’s burnt and the waiters are insufferably cranky… instead of dessert, you
might get a pie in your face.
In every place, there is order and
manager-ship. Without it, society crumbles. Common sense tells us that Christ’s
Holy Church needs this too.
In Christ,
Angelo Cardinal Fratelli
