Is Francis's staff a 'magical' wand used by witches? Fr Zed updates the post I shared here, What Is That? #Synod2018. And I thought 'stang' was a slang term for a Ford Mustang, but it turns out it's also the name of a staff, much like Francis's, used in witchcraft. Look familiar?
From Fr Z's Blog
ACIPRENSA has a story in Spanish about the meaning of the stick thing that Francis had the other day.
It might look just like a “stang” used in satanic rituals, but it was gift from young people intended to be ” Jesus crucified with arms joined by a nail and sculpted in the shape of a bamboo.” And, “In the torn heart of Jesus on the cross is guarded a small seed, that seed that dies to bear fruit and our hope. And it reveals the secret to make life flourish, love, “said the young woman explaining the meaning of the staff.”
So, when you see it now, repeat to yourself… no, the vestments in Ireland did not have an interlocking trio of sixes… no, the stick thing is not a stang. It isn’t. It isn’t.
