[ENGLISH] Be a small humble seed | Welcome to Paradise 2023

Cardinal Tagle's homily on July 31, 2023 at the Welcome to Paradise festival in Portimão, Portugal.
Archbishop Luis Antonio Tagle was appointed Archbishop of Manila in 2011 and Cardinal in 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI. He has been a priest since 1982. He brilliantly obtained his doctorate in theology with a thesis on episcopal collegiality, one of the key ideas of the Second Vatican Council.
Particularly close to young people, he is not afraid to say what he thinks and to show his emotions.

Jésus didn't create priests

[@mcea3852]

Jesus formed his Apostles and and asked them to spread His Word to the ends of the earth. The Apostles of Jesus were His first priests, St. Peter (then Apostle Simon) being the rock, as Jesus told him “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Therefore, he and the early Christians spreaded the Gospel and set a tradition, and so on… those traditions and teachings are what the Catholic Church is now. St. Peter was the one who founded the Catholic Church by the authority of Jesus Christ Himself.
