Insight: Who is the Enemy?

By AGNUS DEI -



Many world leaders including our president have described the coronavirus as an enemy and have called on their followers to rise up and fight this invisible enemy. But come to think of it.

Who is the actual enemy? Is it the virus or you? Who is on the move? Is it the virus or you? Does the virus have legs to move? How then do we describe the virus as an enemy? Have you checked yourself first?

The enemy is not the virus. It is you who have failed to sanitize and or wash your hand with soap under running water regularly.

The enemy is not the virus. It is you who have refused to wear face masks to collect the droplets that come out when you cough or sneeze.

The enemy is not the virus. It is you who have disrespected and ignored all guidelines or protocols given my authorities in curbing the spread of the virus.

The enemy is not the virus. It is you who have sold fake PPEs, sanitizers, etc in the name of business
The enemy is not the virus. It is you who have have taken advantage of the situation to astronomically increase the prices of goods and services.

The enemy is not the virus. It is you who have smuggled people from other neighbouring countries for your myopic selfish interest.

The enemy is not the virus. It is you who is ignorant about the gravity of the virus and have failed to inform or educate yourself.
The enemy is not the virus. It is you who have failed in the job you were paid by the state to do.

The enemy is not the virus. It is you who have refused to support the state and yet destructively criticize every step taken
The enemy is not the virus. It is you sharing fake news and misinforming others and thereby causing fear and panic.

The enemy is not the virus. It is you who have allowed children to aimlessly walk around in the community
The enemy is not the virus. It is you who have stigmatized and traumatized infected person by calling them all kinds of names.

The enemy is not outside, it is within you. The enemy is not invisible, it is visible. It is you.

In the thick of the solemn majesty, three coffins steal the moment during a given papal burial rites. Mother church during papal burial performs what is termed as the "The Ritual of Three Coffins".   For non-Catholics, it is too mysterious a tradition, and for some Catholics, the process is yet to be understood. Here's just a little trip with you into one of the rich traditions of the Church this Catechetical Season shedding light on the ritual surrounding a papal burial. After the death of a Pope is confirmed by the Papal Chamberlain , (the one in charge after the Pope’s death), several rituals take place before and after the burial of the Pope. Usually, the Pope’s actual internment takes place between the fourth and sixth day after his death. This begins a nine-day period of mourning. The burial follows a funeral Mass, presided over by the Dean of the College of Cardinals. When it comes to the actual burial, the pope is entombed in three different coffins, a ri

When he was a cardinal, Pope Benedict said Freemasonry is the greatest danger to the Church The conversation happened 'a few years before he became pope.' D r. Robert Moynihan, the editor-in-chief of the Catholic journal   Inside the Vatican , revealed on April 23 that he once had a conversation with then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (who later became Pope Benedict XVI) about the “greatest danger to the Church,” and he recounts that Ratzinger said: “It is Freemasonry.” These words have a special importance in light of Pope Benedict's recent words about the “world-wide dictatorship of seemingly humanistic ideologies” that are fostering a “fear of the spiritual power of the Anti-Christ.” Let us first consider here Moynihan's own full   report   on that memorable conversation.  “I recall a conversation that I had with then Cardinal Ratzinger a few years before he became pope,” Moynihan writes on his website. “We were in his apartment, not far from St.
