Some time back, I explained to my eldest the saying “All roads lead to Rome”.
Explaining it had a double meaning, firstly because the Romans were the ones who first build proper roads, in fact, several of them are still in use today millennia later, and secondly, because any version of Churchianity one cares to investigate, if one is honest, inevitably, leads back to Catholicism, which until 1958 and a period of a few decades some centuries ago, has always had its main headquarters in Rome.
In essence, the only true Church has always been Catholicism, and this is partly also why Rome has been thought of as both the Eternal City and the Omphalus of the World (belly button for you ‘muricans and GenZs).
This was several weeks ago.
A little while back, I was driving somewhere with her and had forgot the phone at home, so we decided to wing it and try and figure out how to get to where we were going by rough geographical orientation.
At one point, turning into a road, I said rhetorically to myself:
“Who knows where this road goes?”
Scorpio Girl: “Ask the Romans.”
