IL “VATICANO ORTODOSSO”

di: Giovanna Parravicini

«Quando lo spirito impuro esce dall’uomo, si aggira per luoghi deserti cercando sollievo, ma non ne trova. Allora dice: “Ritornerò nella mia casa, da cui sono uscito”. E, venuto, la trova vuota, spazzata e adorna. Allora va, prende con sé altri sette spiriti peggiori di lui, vi entrano e vi prendono dimora; e l’ultima condizione di quell’uomo diventa peggiore della prima. Così avverrà anche a questa generazione malvagia» (Mt 12,43-45).

In June of 594, Pope Gregory the Great received a letter from Constantina, the empress, asking him to send the head of St. Paul to Constantinople so that she and others might benefit from venerating the bodily remains of such a great saint. St. Gregory denied the request, noting that it was not the custom of the Roman Church to dismember the bones of the saints.
