"The Remnant" is a strong element of biblical spirituality (Main Forum)
Okay,Vatican State has disappeared.What might happen?.Would the Coptic Church claim moral leadership as being closer to the original Christian community? Would existing bishops be absolved of their promise of fidelity to the Holy Father putting the ordination of women back on the agenda? Would independent communities start electing their own bishops as there is no pope to give anyone the nod?.What would the temple police do to occupy their time? By the way,not too many would die as I believe only forty people actually reside in Vatican City,mainly choirboys.Everyone else has to cross international boundaries to get to work. It is hypothetical of course ,but poses a number of questions which I find fascinating.
Cheers[and thanks for your kind prayers during my extended hospital experience]
