Reflections of a Titian

It is a mistake to apply American democratic procedures to the faith and the truth. You cannot take a vote on the truth. The value of democracy stands or falls with the values which it embodies and promotes.

Lionel, 99, and his wife Ellen Buxton, 100, met in March 1930, married on July 18th 1936 and have been inseperable ever since.

The couple, together a total of 82 years, have not spent more than one night apart.

Upon speaking of their marriage, Ellen says:

“We have never been apart really and have never wanted anyone else. We have been married happily because we have been good friends as well as husband and wife.

We have always made sure we have had nice evenings out together. Whether it is going for a romantic meal or out to play bingo

‘We are more in love now than ever. We keep each other going.”

A world without truth isn’t a world liberated from conflict; it’s a world without the possibility of reconciliation.

I offer one final thought: Benedict has offered us a witness of the exceptional sovereignty of the pope. Truly he is the successor of Peter who has freely manifested his resignation, which can be accepted by no power on earth. Such a demonstration of papal authority is astonishing in its constitutional implications. St. Peter Celestine pray for us and for your successors!
