A pilgrimage is a journey to encounter God in a holy and to return home changed. Walking through the holy door is an external symbol or what has already happened interiorly.<br /><br />As the sign next to the holy door says, "As you pass through the Holy Door remember that Jesus is the Door who introduces you to the embrace of God's mercy."<br /><br />The consent of a jubilee is thoroughly biblical. But even if it were not, nothing in the Bible says that everything we do has to be found explicitly in the bible.Rev. Daren J.

What is this person's eternal state after the doors close, in the view of the Roman Catholic Church?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00429534530994399794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10038924.post-17054433110912375212015-12-09T05:46:39.656-06:002015-12-09T05:46:39.656-06:00Of course not, my anonymous.
