On Wednesday, September 2, 2020, Pope Benedict XVI becomes the oldest man in the history of the Church to be Pope!
For on that day, he overtakes Pope Leo XIII.
In Italy, one does not toast to the health of someone with the phrase, Cheers! But by shouting out an ancient call, used by pilgrims on their way to and from the Holy Land, through the port of Brindisi, in Apulia, where they embarked for Greece or the Holy Land. Likwise, they do not say, Long live the Pope! but Evviva!
So, on Wednesday, September 2, 2020, the whole Catholic world needs to unite, and toast the Holy Father saying:
Brindisi, Papa Benedetto! Evviva Papa Benedetto!

The Book on the Trinity, every faithful Catholic priest would love as his next present
This is Br. Bugnolo's English Translation, of Saint Bonaventure's encylopedic book of theology on the Trinity: With this book, your priest will always have something intelligent and awesomely inspiring to preach to you about
God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit!

Cheers! Holy Father! I pray for you daily.
What an incredible occasion! Will toast for Pope Benedict XVI this evening!
