On my visit to St. Peter's Basilica, I stepped into a room where on the wall was a listing of deceased Popes from St. Peter to John Paul II. The attendant asked everyone to be quiet and to reflect upon the lives of the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church.
In that moment I was reminded that "The Church Marches On."
It marches on in spite of human limitations. It marches on in spite of weaknesses and frailties. It marches on in spite of the ego drives of various leaders. It marches on in spite of tension and turmoil. It marches on in spite of controversy and conflict.
The Church of the living God marches on through time because we serve a God who is above time. The Church is His and not ours.
