I won't lie, the sight brought tears to my eyes. I was reminded of my time on Earth as I young man venturing to Vatican City for the first time. The experience was breathtaking to say the least.
I previously mentions I worked at a Catholic church growing up. Masse was always spoken in Latin, even though very few people actually spoke it. It was with this parish I went on my pilgrimage down the pilgrim's path Via Podiensis.
