The first principle of the Ordinariate is then about Christian unity. St. Basil the Great, the Church’s greatest ecumenist, literally expended his life on the work of building bridges between orthodox brethren who shared a common faith, but who had become separated from one another in a Church badly fragmented by heresy and controversy. He taught that the work of Christian unity requires deliberate and ceaseless effort...St. Basil often talked with yearning about the archaia agape, the ancient love of the apostolic community, so rarely seen in the Church of his day. This love, he taught, is a visible sign that the Holy Spirit is indeed present and active, and it is absolutely essential for the health of the Church.

Pope Francis to impose the Pallium on Archbishops

Archbishop Jose H. Gomez of Los
Angeles, after receiving the pallium
from Pope Benedict XVI in 2011.
Annually, on the feast of Ss. Peter and Paul (June 29th) the Pope imposes the Pallium on Archbishops named since the previous year's feast. The pallium is a symbol of communion with the Holy Father and is given to these Metropolitan bishops who typically have one or more suffragan sees. The pallium is woven from wool sheared from sheep in the feast of the martyr St. Agnes (whose name means, of course, sheep), January 21st.

The list of Archbishops who will receive the pallium this year is an impressive display of the universality of the Church. This list was taken from the Vatican Information Service's daily bulletin.

    Impose? IMPOSE? What a horrible thing to do. How would you like it if I IMPOSED my purple bowlder hat upon you? Nothing good should ever be IMPOSED on anyone.

    Can we find another word please?

    Impose just means to put upon. As incense is imposed on the burning coals. Don't be so put upon ;)

    HA!HA!HA! Glad you didn't ask for my purple bowler hat! (misspelled the first time!) I still think another word should be found. I thought it meant "forced down upon" someone or something. :-)
