Pilate needed to ask: “Who is Truth?” to get a response from Christ.
“Pontius Pilate faced pressure from the Jewish religious leaders who demanded Jesus’ crucifixion, and the crowd that supported them. He was also concerned about maintaining his position and avoiding unrest….”

Apostasy in the Holy See. Much prayer and fasting needed. God is allowing this for a reason, of course. Here’s hoping we don’t learn the reason the hard way.
Sorry Lio, I’m going with Pius X on this one.
“Lio”. Heh. CAG, I see what you did there.
Well played. And yes, I’m going with St. Pius X on this also.
Always good posts, Don. Neither Francis nor Leo would recognize the Truth even if He were to dematerialize before them.
