Vitamin B16

I had entirely missed a tempest-in-a-teapot over Pope Benedict’s original coat-of-arms. (See the header image.) Apparently heraldic experts sniffed at it because it dropped the three-tiered papal crown.

Another tempest-in-a-teapot has spun up over anew papal coat-of-arms (stemma papabile) displayed on a tapestry hung from a window that the Pope uses to give an Angelus address.

New B16 Papal Coat-of-Arms

The three-tiered crown is back.

Cue the histrionics!

A video mash-up of pop angst and Pope Benedict. No contest.

“Angst” is a fashionable anxiety or apprehension often riding sidecar to depression. Modernity and secularism spread angst like a disease, especially in the marginally churched or badly catechised.

Inoculate against angst by proclaiming and living the Gospel fearlessly (Philippians 1:12-18).

From California Catholic Daily:

Reflecting then on the words used when consigning the ring during episcopal consecrations — “Take this ring, the seal of your fidelity. With integrity of faith and purity of life protect the bride of God, His Holy Church” — Benedict explained: “The concept of ‘protecting’ does not only mean conserving what has already been established (though this must not be lacking); rather, in its essence it also includes the dynamic aspect: a perpetual and concrete tendency towards perfection, in complete harmony with, and continually adapting to, the new requirements that arise with the development and progress of that living organism which is the community.

“The bishop has responsibility for the good of his diocese, but also for that of society”, the pope added. “He is called to be ‘strong and determined, just and serene’ in order to be able exercise that wise discernment of people, facts and events which is required of him in his duty to be ‘father, brother and friend’ along the Christian and human journey.

Sandro Magister writes about attacks on Pope Benedict XVI:

The first and main enemy is the external one. It is the currents of opinion and centers of power hostile to the Church and to this pope.

The second enemy is those Catholics – including not a few priests and bishops – who see Benedict XVI as an obstacle to their project of “modernist” reform for the Church.

Finally, the third enemy is those officials of the Vatican curia who hurt the pope instead of helping him, out of incapacity, ignorance, or even opposition.

It does not appear that these three fronts are commanded by the same general. But this does not mean that a unifying reason cannot be sought that would explain such bitter and constant attacks, all concentrated on the current pope.

…But it is no less important to know how Benedict XVI himself interprets the attacks brought against him.

…The attacks that are focused on Pope Benedict are, for him, the proof of how big the wager is that he is proposing to the men of today, even the unbelieving: to live as if God exists.
