So yesterday was the feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica of St. John the Baptist, which is the Papal cathedral and his parish church.
And today is the feast of Pope St. Leo Magnus, who did as much in his day (and even more) as JPII has done in ours. [Blessed John XXIII writes eloquently of this Great pontiff here.]
Why is this significant? Because it's a great time to celebrate what makes us Catholic, namely, that we believe in the Petrine Ministry and the Magisterium of the Church, an Authority commissioned by Christ to safeguard the twin sources of Divinely Revealed Truth: Scripture & Tradition---
and without which we would be adrift in fog. We would be shackled under a tyranny of falsehood, deception, and LIES. God Bless Papst Benedict, who reminds us over and over again that Christ, the One Who offers us Everything, has set us free~

These are also a very Roman feast and a very Roman memorial. We are a universal Church, yes, but it is good to have at the front of our minds, from time to time, that we are also Roman.
