Beautiful essay that has given me a lot to think about. I’m curious though, isn’t the logical endpoint of this the papacy? Why stop at king and not at pope?

Thank you Fr. Thomas. I pray for England and America. At my church, on Tuesday, we had a lively discussion about beauty. A baby is the most beautiful being in all the world to me. My daughter, age 33, is making plans to visit Japan this spring. She speaks Korean and is studying Japanese daily via an app. I lost her to Korea for nine years so no telling what can happen with Japan. I gave her to our Lord a long time ago. She is in his care.
