Happy New Year, Grammar, and a New-Year Reflection

Well, Happy New Year 2022. It's great to be here for another year. And this is actually my 14th year as a blogger podcaster and youtuber. Thank you for your support now for all of you for all your support over the past year.

In 2021 is my honor to serve you with the radio Luke's lucid podcast during the year and Lord willing 2022 will bring many more opportunities for doing the same. Now one thing that that kind of interested me about all this when I was getting this podcast together here is Is the the grammar?

Surrounding Happy New Year. So it is a Happy New Year's or is it Happy New Year?

And.

Every year every new year I kind of go through this because I only of course talk about it once a year and then by The time the next year rolls around I'm thinking okay I I kind of sort of think I remember what what the correct idea is, but You know, I've kind of forgotten and I feel a little bit shaky.

And I I don't want to start off my podcast and title my podcast using bad grammar. That's that's kind of a bad way to get started on things. So I found this article in in Newsweek and The the way that this works is there are actually a couple of different constructions here.

In certain circumstances Happy New Year's is correct. And in other circumstances. Happy New Year is correct.

And.

It has to do with it I say it just it has to do with the context in which you use it and this particular article in Newsweek. Let's see if I can find here what it talks about. Said the in the case of the apostrophe s in New Year's it's required when discussing things that belong to New Year's Eve or January 1st such as party plans or Resolutions made this is because apostrophes are the way the English language indicates either possession or something belongs to another as a result.

The following three examples are all correct applications of the apostrophe in New Year's. New Year's Eve December 31st is the eve of 2022 New Year's Day, January 1st is the first day of 2022 New Year's resolution a stated goal or aim for the new year.

There is in each example a clear relationship between the new year and the noun the eve the day itself and the resolution. This is because they're all specifically related to the new year meaning New Year's becomes the modifier of each noun.

It's consequently correct to say we're throwing a New Year's party and they've made a list of New Year's resolutions. Now from on the other hand for midnight on December 31st and for a few succeeding days people say Happy New Year.

New Year is also correctly used with no possessive apostrophe s when discussing the year as a whole. In Contrast New Year's refers to one specific night day and one resolution. But New Year usually comes up when people are talking Generally about the year often before it's begun or while it is still early in the year.

This means the following examples are correct are the correct use of New Year. December is a very busy period for me. It's when we should get so we should get dinner early in the new year. Now it is the new year.

I have much more free time to socialize Happy New Year to you all. Note in the above examples new year is capitalized when the holiday or January 1st is being discussed. But not when the new year as a time frame is being referenced.

So that's all very interesting so that's that's kind of grammar nerdy kind of stuff there and As a result, I titled my podcast Happy New Year 2022 because I'm referring to the the year as a whole. I Believe that's the correct application.

It's kind of funny that I'm even thinking or discussing about this because when I was was a kid when I was going through school I hated English class. And I hated English grammar. And so what do I do?

I end up growing up and I become a podcaster and and a blogger. Go figure right that that just makes perfect sense, right? You know, I spent all of my time in English class basically goofing off now. I'm not recommending that I shouldn't have done that.

I'm not saying that's a good thing. But that's what I did and it wasn't until I got into college and I actually started taking a foreign language. I took German that I really started to to learn English grammar and and to have some appreciation for it.

I my my use of language grew quite a bit when I was in college for having done that and I really didn't even want To take German. I mean I ended up having to do it to fulfill an elective requirement. I kind of surprised myself and found out I liked it.

So it's kind of interesting but most of the grammar that I know I actually know through having studied foreign languages. One other thing kind of a short thing. I wanted to talk about. Well, I had a couple other things I want to talk about just by way of introduction here in the new year.

UC Football, Christmas Lights, and Other New-Year Updates

Now one of them is UC football now my my Bearcats. They made it all the way to the college football playoffs that's the final four playing for the championship the championship trophy for the College football for the year and they ran into a buzzsaw called Alabama and it was it was kind of a rough game it was on it was on well New Year's Eve and What happened it was kind of what I was afraid of.

I mean, they just I think they really just got overmatched during the game by Alabama. Not that that's any real shame I think Alabama, I don't know. They they're really a machine. I think they're the number one program right now in college football and have been for several years.

Their coach Nick Saban a lot of people think he's the greatest football college football coach ever. And it's kind of hard to argue with that. I believe he's already has seven national titles I think sometimes maybe they ought to bump Alabama up to the NFL and in the Not not not force the the college teams to play them.

But you know, congratulations, Alabama. They played a great game. They deserve to win and I hope that they go on to win the win the title. You know, they definitely are I think the best team that that I've seen out there this year in in college football.

But also congratulations the Bearcats, you know, they had a great season. I was really proud of them I really enjoyed watching that team this year. Maybe more than I've enjoyed watching anything in in sports in a long time.

And I guess maybe some of that has to do with just the fact that you know We live in this time when there's so much that is so negative. I mean not only is there no good news. The news that's out there is almost universally bad.

I mean, it's there's all this this stuff going on politically with with Kovat with a lot of things that that I think are very frustrating to me as a Christian as an American as someone who loves Liberty and and Capitalism free markets these kinds of things.

I mean, it seems like the bad guys are.

Winning.

Time after time after time and there's there's not a whole lot of good that's going on right now at this particular time and It was really nice to have something to get a little bit excited about this fall and and enjoy that Really kind of took my mind off of some of that stuff you know I read and I talk about that probably even more than most people just because of the Kind of work that I do here either with the podcast or with the blog and it's nice to just Get my mind off of some of that for a while.

So congratulations to the Bearcats. They had a wonderful season and I look forward to watching them again next year. One last thing and this is going to be the last time I mentioned this. I've talked here some about Christmas lights and the the neighbors we had.

I Found out that they had placed I think second last year in The the top Christmas lights in Cincinnati one of the local stations and sure enough they they placed in that group again. I don't think they were second this year, but they did place in that group and it was one of the local TV stations.

WLW channel 5 featured them on its web page and include a link to that page in the in a description and interestingly enough when I They actually have I thought originally was just a still photograph.

But they actually have a video of of the display. So you can if you click on the link and you scroll down your your see their display. They're number 20 and there's a little video of the of the of the house.

So it's it's kind of interesting in that regard. So anyway, I guess congratulations to to them as well. They they placed once again on the the top lights in in Greater, Cincinnati a very respectable 20, by the way I mean when you think of all the people who have Christmas lights out, I guess it's not bad coming in in the in the top 20.

Pope Francis, the Flight to Egypt, and the Immigration Analogy

So today I wanted to now I wanted to turn to the the main topic of today's program. And and of course that has to do with with Pope Francis still being up to his old Immigration tricks and The the trick in this particular case is a very common play.

That that the Roman Catholic Church runs, especially around Christmas and that play is It's basically comparing the what's sometimes called the flight to Egypt that is when when Joseph took Mary and Jesus and fled to Egypt when he was warned by the angel and to leave Judea and because of apparently because of because of Herod and because of the The murders that that Herod was committing he was warned in a dream to flee to Egypt to get out of the the danger and what the Roman Catholic Church says is that the the flight of the family to to Egypt is Really sort of the archetype sort of the pattern the the representative of all migrants everywhere.

So when you you see migrants, you know millions of migrants pouring across America's southern border. Well, really what we should do is we should see, you know, Joseph's Mary and Jesus in their faces, you know what they're doing is exactly the same thing as is what the Joseph and his family did and when warned by the angel Gabriel and I guess if if you Reject them in the Roman Catholic Church's way of thinking what you're really doing is is you're opposing Christ himself.

That's essentially what their argument is and you're an all-around very bad person and you need to repent of your sins it's an attempt by Rome to seize the moral high ground and Make you feel guilty if for instance if you don't think having your country flooded by millions and millions of foreigners.

That then go on the welfare dole. If you don't think that's an awesome idea. Well, you're an all-around very bad person in the eyes of the Pope. So let's take a look at this particular article. You can find there there are many such statements of this out there.

But this is a recent one. This was done in the middle of last week. I believe it was last Wednesday. It was a a sermon that that Pope Francis gave. So we'll kind of we'll break that down and look take a little closer.

Look at some of the ideas that he put forward. So this is a headline from Breitbart News and by the way Breitbart I found is a really good source on The the doings of the Pope they've got a fellow who's in the Rome Bureau.

It's called his name is Thomas D Williams. And apparently he is a former Roman Catholic priest himself, I guess he ran into some personal Trouble I found I looked up his biography, but he's a good writer and he you know I don't know what his you know where he is in terms of his his faith.

I don't know. I assume he's probably still a Roman Catholic, but he does a very good job reporting on Some of the things that are done in Rome particularly as they relate to issues of immigration. Yeah, I found a lot of articles in Breitbart that are quite good in reporting some of the comments that Pope Francis makes so here's a headline from Breitbart the article is by Thomas D Williams and The article again, it's titled Pope Francis.

St. Joseph was a persecuted and courageous migrant. Okay, so, you know again, so if st. Joseph was a persecuted and courageous migrant and These people and that are coming across America's southern border in the millions and it quite literally is the millions right now.

These people are all also persecuting courageous migrants just like Joseph was and if we reject them, well, you know, well we are Rejecting them in the same way as if we would have rejected Joseph and again, you know.

That's that's an attempt to basically guilt people in to allowing their countries to be overrun by by welfare migrants. So let's read a little bit of this article and we can talk about it. So the dateline is Rome.

Pope Francis presented st. Joseph as the foster father of Jesus as a persecuted and courageous migrant in a provocative address in the Vatican Wednesday. The evangelist Matthew described st. Joseph as quote a persecuted and courageous migrant the Pope said during his weekly general audience in the Vatican.

Another quote from the Pope this particular event in the life of Jesus. Which also involves Joseph and Mary is traditionally known as the flight to Egypt. The Pope continues the family is nether such Nazareth suffered such humiliation and experienced firsthand the precariousness.

Fear and pain of having to leave their homeland. He continued. Today so many of our brothers and sisters are still forced to experience the same injustice and suffering. Today, I think we need a prayer for all migrants migrants and all the persecuted and all those who are victims of adverse circumstances.

Be they political historical or personal circumstances the Pope said. Let us think of the many people who are victims of wars who want to flee from their homeland, but cannot he said. Let us think of think of the migrants who set out on that road to be free.

So many of whom end up on the street or in the sea. Let us think of Jesus in the arms of Joseph and Mary fleeing and let us see in him each one of the migrants today. He continued migration today is a reality to which we cannot close our eyes is a social scandal of humanity.

End quote now that last bit there is is really I think the key and listen. I want to repeat that here again. This is quoting Pope Francis. Let us think of Jesus in the arms of Joseph and Mary fleeing and let us see in him each one of the migrants today.

So so when we look at migrants what we're really supposed to do is we're supposed to see Jesus. And his family fleeing Judea to go to Egypt and again if we. If we reject migrants today, it's the same thing when the Pope is saying this now.

This isn't true and I'm going to explain why this is the case. But the Pope wants you to say that if we reject this sort of mass welfare migration. It's going on that. It's it's really the same tantamount to rejecting Christ himself.

And again, this is an attempt to intimidate and guilt people into accepting mass-migration. And let's see here. It looks like my for some reason my screen froze up. Oh, there we go. I don't know. I I had this update that was done and I always hate this.

The Microsoft they they wanted me to update from Windows 10 to Windows 11. So I went ahead and I accepted the update and it seems like every anytime you do an update like that a major update of Changing an operating system.

They're always that it gets a little Little buggy sometimes. I don't know if that's what this is or if it's something else. But okay, so I've my screens unfrozen here. So let's take a look at a few additional things now.

I mentioned that this idea.

That.

We are supposed to you know as the Pope said that we're supposed to see Christ in the faces of all the migrants that are pouring across our southern border if you're in Europe all the migrants who are flooding across the Mediterranean or coming in through a land route and if you reject these, you know.

You're you're according to the Pope, you know, you're rejecting Christ. This is a very common Assertion that's made by Roman Catholic either people who are actually formally part of the church or by Roman Catholic politicians and even by ignorant Protestants.

Who who make the same argument? Very common and you see this throughout the year, but you see it especially at Christmastime. And that's why I wanted to address this right now. I've wanted to talk about this in the past few weeks.

I haven't gotten around to it. I'm actually glad I waited because this particular article by the Pope the one that I just read through that didn't come out until the Wednesday after Christmas, so it's it's kind of convenient that that he said what he said when he said it.

Well, as I mentioned there are a few other examples of this kind of thing. And I just wanted to go through and cite a few of these there was a story and this is from Fox News. This is actually from 2018 December 25th 2018 and the headline here.

It says Ocasio Cortez says Jesus was a refugee in Christmas tweet and Just reading through a little bit of this. It says US representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Democrat, New York. Wish her Twitter follows a Merry Christmas Tuesday by referring to the newborn Jesus as a refugee.

Joy to the world. Ocasio Cortez wrote Merry Christmas everyone. Here's to a holiday filled with happiness family and love for all people including refugee babies and majors plus their parents end quote.

Okay. So now this is actually kind of an interesting tweet here because she is attempting to to state the immigration Ideas of the Roman Catholic Church, but she doesn't get it quite right.

And.

Fox News points this out. They kind of call her out here and they say Mary and Joseph are not depicted as refugees in the nativity story. According to the Gospel of Luke Joseph brings the pregnant Mary to Bethlehem so that he may enroll in a census ordered by the Roman Emperor Augustus.

The couple are forced to take shelter in a stable where Jesus is born due to a lack of room at the end. However, the Gospel of Matthew. In the Gospel of Matthew Mary and Joseph flee into Egypt with the infant Jesus after King Herod of Judea orders the murder of every boy aged to and under in Bethlehem after the Magi ask him where to find the newborn king of the.

Jews.

The holy family escaped the slaughter and are told by an angel to return to Israel once Herod is dead, so Ocasio-Cortez she confuses the birth of Christ and the flight to Egypt and The the Pope has never claimed that the birth of Christ represented a refugee Family in a refugee birth.

It's the flight to Egypt that he claims is is the The archetype the the pattern for all all migration. So Ocasio-Cortez, she doesn't doesn't quite get it right here. And it's kind of comical. Actually, how how wrong she is.

She doesn't even state the bad doctrine of Rome correctly. Well, anyway, there's another tweet and this was also put out by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the same day and It's interesting and this is a the podcast format here now just to let you know.

This is actually the second edition of of this of episode 74. I did a live stream last night of this and I had some technical difficulties. The main technical difficulty was was me. When I started when I record these I I do the live stream I use a service called called restream that allows me to stream out to to Facebook and to YouTube and to Twitter and I use that but I also at the same time I record the The live stream on a podcast recorder that I have well Kind of there was a technical difficulty with the podcast recorder yesterday.

And well, they say the technical problem was me I forgot to start it, you know, it's amazing. But these the podcast recorder really works. Well when I actually turn it on but when I don't turn it on it doesn't work at all for some strange weird reason I don't know why that is.

Anyway, that's really frustrating stuff. I got to the end of that. Oh good grief. I didn't turn this on well, the good thing is I the the restream service actually does record and I was able to download and I Edited a what I was going to go ahead and put out as a podcast.

But there were some also problems with the restream there was some internet issues it seems like and and there were a lot of dropouts and and issues with with that it that actually happened during the live stream and I could see it was dropping in and out and The recording was kind of the same way and I thought this is some important material and I want to have a better Audio version of that.

So I'm gonna go ahead and I'm rerecording episode 74. So this is actually take two I'm gonna go ahead and leave the live stream up as it is the original live stream. But I'm also going to go ahead and I'm rerecording episode 74 as well.

So the the podcast is podcast is going to be the same material. But it'll be slightly different from the way it was presented on on the live stream. So with that said and I'm gonna put a link in the show notes to this for this article or this tweet rather but there was another tweet that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez put out back on Christmas in 2018 and The tweet itself.

Yeah, I'm not going to read what she had to say here. But the reason I wanted to cite it is because there was a an image that she included with it and the image that's included. It's it's a drawing of these it appears to be a Hispanic couple with with a child.

So they're they're walking through the wilderness. The the wife is is carrying the child and they all have halos, you know. You see some of these and I don't know if the term icon is the correct term to use but when you see some of the iconography from say The early church, you know, whether it was the Roman Catholic Church or or Eastern Orthodoxy and there's a saint.

They always put sort of a halo around the the head of the person. Well, when you look at this particular picture both the husband the wife and the child have halos surrounding them and the the halo surrounding the child is a special type of a halo and I suppose that means to identify the child as as Jesus and it's this this Latino couple and they're they're going through the wilderness presumably headed to the United States so again, this is taking that idea that Pope Francis talks about that were to see in the in the migrants the The family of Jesus that were to see Christ in the in in these migrants in the in the face of these migrants.

It takes that idea and it puts that in picture form. So again, and I'm only bringing this up because I just want you to understand just how common a concept this is within the Roman Catholic Church Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a Roman Catholic.

She went to a Roman Catholic school.

And I.

Believe she went to a Jesuit school. I'd have to go. I need to go back and double-check that maybe I shouldn't say that. But I know she went to a Roman Catholic school and she's very heavily influenced by Roman Catholic economic and political thought.

So, of course naturally she would put something like this out another example of the use of of the image of the Flight into Egypt is if you go out to the the Justice for Immigrants page the Justice for Immigrants website that's a website of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and Justice for Immigrants that is a it's a I don't know what the correct term is.

It's either a. It's an organization run by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. So when you you go to the Justice for Immigrants page and again I'm gonna put a link out there so you can see this.

You can see the logo for the United States Conference of Bishops and right next to that is the logo for the Justice for Immigrants organization and It also depicts the flight to Egypt. It's kind of stylized.

So it's it's not completely obvious. I mean if like if you looked at it apart from from the from knowing Roman Catholic doctrine about immigration. You might not pick up the fact that it's supposed to be, you know to pick the flight of Joseph Mary and Jesus.

But that's what this is. They changed the logo every now and then this one's a little bit harder to pick up. But some of the logos they've had in the past have even been more explicit about it. But again, you know, this is the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

This is an official organization within a Roman Catholic Church. And again, they're also promulgating that that same idea through their logo. That is the idea that in the face of the migrants that we should see Jesus.

Again, this is this is Roman Catholic Teaching on on the subject of immigration. Now the Pope's rhetoric, you know when we we read the article there in Breitbart in Breitbart, you know. The Pope's rhetoric may be impassioned.

But is it biblical that's the question that we want to ask here, you know the Pope's rhetoric about immigration. Yeah, he he can give an impassioned sermon, but is it a biblical sermon? You know, that is does do the scripture support the Pope's claims now the short answer to that is is no.

No, it does not. Now as Christians we should know that anything coming out of of the Pope's mouth is Is going to be false in one way or the other. Why is that because the office of the papacy is the office of Antichrist now?

That's something that used to be widely understood by the reef by Reformed believers. Well that started to change in the late 19th and early 20th century the 1647 Westminster Confession of Faith. That's the original wording the Confession of Faith had it right and it read this.

This is from chapter 25 of the 1647 Westminster Confession of Faith quote. There is no head of the church, but the Lord Jesus Christ. Nor can the Pope of Rome in any sense behead thereof but is that Antichrist that man of sin and son of perdition that exalteth himself in the church against Christ and All that is called God end quote now if you go out to your Westminster Confession today.

If you're a Presbyterian and you you you go out and you see the version of the Westminster Confession. That's used by your church. It probably just says this. There is no ahead of the church. But the Lord Jesus Christ nor can the Pope of Rome in any sense behead thereof full stop.

That everything that comes after that that identifies the Pope is Antichrist the man of sin the son of perdition. Etc. All that stuff's been removed. It's just been completely dropped. In my opinion, that is a major mistake.

It's a bit and in it's. It's almost as if Protestants it's almost as if reformed believers have engaged in an act of what used to be called unilateral disarmament. Now if you're an old guy like me, I'm in my mid -50s and maybe you grew up during the Cold War.

The term unilateral disarmament is something that you'd recognize now if you're younger person. Maybe you've never heard that term before but back during the days of the Cold War Unilateral disarmament was was something that was very often discussed.

So so what was unilateral disarmament? Well, there was this idea at least it was put forth by some people. These sort of hippie dippie type thinkers who would go out and they would would say well you know this this whole conflict between between the United States and the Soviet Union and you know in the Free world as it was termed back then and in the Soviet bloc.

Well this whole conflict. It's really just a great big Misunderstanding and if the United States if if why if we just beat all our swords in the plowshares and get rid of all of our tanks and and fighters and bombers and aircraft carriers and nuclear missiles and we get rid of all that stuff and we show the the Russians that the the Soviets that that we That we we just love them and and and you know, we just have you know, we're we're gonna all wear, you know flower power T-shirts or something like this and you know if we all just get together and sing kumbaya or something why they realize that that they like us and in all of the All of the threat of nuclear war is gonna go away.

Well, you know, I mean that was was pretty darn naive. There's no question about it but there were people who did argue that way, you know that. The way that to solve the Cold War was for the West to just put aside all of its weapons you know beat its its swords in the plowshares and and Demonstrate our good intentions to the the Soviet Union the the Soviet Bosses in the Kremlin.

Well, I mean that that's pretty stupid. Just to be blunt about it, but there were people who thought that and in like fashion I think that the Protestants have unilaterally disarmed themselves. It used to be that Protestants and you didn't have to be a Great theologian understand as regular ordinary church members understood who Antichrist was.

But that teaching has been completely is completely disappeared from Protestant churches. I mean ask yourself this have you ever heard a sermon? I mean if you go to a say a Bible believing Protestant Church, and it doesn't even have to be necessarily explicitly Reformed Church but if you go to a church that claims to to adhere to the scriptures that teaches the gospel of justification by belief alone.

Have you ever heard from the from the pulpit in your in person a sermon? Identifying the papacy as.

Antichrist I.

Would say you almost certainly have not. I personally have never heard that myself. And I think that's probably true of most people now. I you know, the churches that I have gone to in my life are not liberal churches, they're not.

You know, they are Bible-believing churches. They are churches that do teach the gospel. But they they do not teach this point and That's true across Protestantism anymore that that idea has almost completely disappeared.

I remember a few years ago There was a a person in the United States that was running for president. I can't remember was it in 2012 maybe or 20. I think it was maybe 2012. Her name was Michelle Bachmann and She and her husband went to some conservative Lutheran Church and it came out that I guess the church Was teaching or maybe I don't know if the confession of the church had this in it, but that that the Pope was the Antichrist and it was this great big scandal and and Michelle Bachmann went out there and worked very hard to distance herself from that.

You know, it's almost as if Protestants are embarrassed to talk about this sort of thing now, of course, you know as a woman. She shouldn't have been running for president. So I'm you know, that's a whole nother issue and I don't want to get off on that particular Side right there, but I'm just bringing out the fact that that was one example where I have seen it come out where somebody was Said hey you you think that the Pope is the Antichrist and people run away.

Oh, no, please don't accuse me of that. Oh, I'm so sorry. You know, I mean this is how how people are. I Mean we're embarrassed to speak the truth. We as Protestants and this is in brothers and sisters.

This has got to change is that we cannot be afraid of talking about this. So anyway that kind of went on a bit of a tangent there. But you know again, you know, the the Pope's rhetoric is very impassioned.

But this is coming from the lips of Antichrist. So we know it's wrong now. We may not know exactly when you first read an article such as the one I read there in Breitbart. We may not know exactly what's wrong with it.

But we can be sure that there there is foolishness in it that there are lies in it. It's our job as Christians to go compare what the Pope has to say to the scriptures and find out where the foolishness is.

Exile Familia Nazarethana, Papal Authority, and the Papacy as Antichrist

So where is the foolishness in the Pope's address? Well for that, let's turn to a key papal text guiding Rome's immigration stance and The text I want to refer to here today. It's it's a 1952 Apostolic Constitution was written by Pope Pius the 12th called excel familia Nazareth Anna or.

Excel.

Excel familia Nazareth Anna simply just means the the emigre family of Nazareth if you want to put that into into plain English. And I'm gonna provide a link to that document in the show notes, but I just want to read the first paragraph from that.

From that Constitution would talk a little bit about some of the ideas here because this Apostolic Constitution is really the source of what Pope Francis is teaching. So again, let's just read the first paragraph and then we'll we'll break it down a little bit here.

So quote and this is from excel familia. Nazareth Anna The emigre Holy Family of Nazareth fleeing into Egypt is the archetype of every refugee family Jesus Mary and Joseph Living in exile in Egypt to escape the fury of an evil king are for all times in all places the models and protectors of every migrant alien and refugee of whatever kind who whether compelled by fear of persecution or by want is forced to leave his native land his Beloved parents and relatives his close friends and to seek a foreign soil end quote so this Apostolic Constitution is I don't know it's probably not true that this was the first Use of this idea of of the the Holy Family fleeing into Egypt as the As the archetype of all migrants everywhere, but it is the document which these concepts were formalized again.

It goes back to 1952 is written by Pope Pius XII. I think his real name was a eugenio Pacelli, I believe it was. I think I'm pronouncing hopefully I'm pronouncing that correctly or at least close to correctly anyway.

But it was written by Pope Pius XII interestingly enough Pope Pius XII He was the subject of a book that was written. I guess a little bit over 20 years ago now in the late 1990s it was called Hitler's Pope and Pope Pius XII.

He was the Pope that signed a concordat with the Nazi government of Germany and He has received a lot of criticism in that that particular book.

For.

Essentially aiding aiding the Nazi regime in Germany, which which he did I mean, what I mean the the Church of Rome supported the fascists in in Europe both in In Germany they had an alliance with them both in Germany and in Italy.
