From personal experience, it was a dream, almost to be thrown out and the doors shut. What is the meaning of this dream and the answer – it is Papa Benedict. Everyone must listen to him, what he teaches, be holy like him or be thrown out of the house of God. Its as simple as that – he holds the key because our Lord speaks authoritatively through him and him alone. ( post if you want, if not, so be it).
