Galatians 3.28 ‘‘There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.’’

There are over 1.2 billion Catholics on the Earth. We are led by our Pope. Out of 1.2 billion of my Sisters and Brothers in Christ only around 120 men are allowed to vote to elect the Pope. Why is this when Jesus made it so clear that we are all equal in God’s eyes. The Church suffers when so few decide who our Pope should be. Enabling all Catholics aged 16 and above to vote for our Pope is not an exercise in democracy…. It is an exercise in fulfilling the Will of God !

Manifesto for a Lay Pope. My promise to you; If I am elected Pope I will decree that:

Every baptised Catholic aged 16 and above will be allowed to vote to elect future Bishops of Rome

Cardinals are considered the Princes of the Church. I will remove this notion and make all members of the Church, Laity and Clergy, equal.

The term Cardinal derives from the Latin word for hinge used as a metaphor to symbolise that it is they that the Church revolves upon. Some of these hinges have slammed the door of the Gospel in the faces of the faithful . This is contrary to the teachings of Jesus and I will ensure that the Church revolves around the Laity as Christ demands.

Every Catholic parish on Earth will be obliged to publish a section on their parish website dedicated to profiling every Cardinal and other candidate eligible for the Papacy in order for the electorate to get to know candidates intimately and be better informed in their voting choice. The Vatican media centre will make available to all parishes the CVs and manifestos of all Papal candidates at the appropriate time.

The Vatican media centre will support every Parish on Earth to develop their Parish website to include a function that allows parish members over the age of 16 to vote for their preferred candidate online.

Do you know what language Yeshua ( Jesus ) spoke?

Imagine what it would have been like to be sitting with Yeshua ( Jesus ) at the Last Supper. He would certainly have said the Lord’s prayer.

Of course you wouldn’t have understood a single word. The apostles, women and children sitting with him would have understood his words because they, like Yeshua (Jesus) spoke Aramaic. This is what He would have said:

Abwûn d’bwaschmâja ( Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes, who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration)

Nethkâdasch schmach ( May Your Light be experienced in my utmost holiness )

Têtê malkuthach ( Your Heavenly domain approaches )

Nehwê tzevjânach aikâna d’bwaschmâja af b’arha ( Let Your will come true in the universe, just as on Earth that is material and dense )

Hawvlân lachma d’sûnkanân jaomâna ( Give us wisdom, understanding, assistance for our daily need )

Waschboklân chaubên wachtahên ( Detach the fetters of faults that bind us )

aikâna daf chnân schwoken l’chaijabên. ( like we let go the guilt of others )

Wela tachlân l’nesjuna ( Let us not be lost in superficial things, materialism, common temptations)

ela patzân min bischa. ( but let us be freed from that what keeps us off from our true purpose )

Metol dilachie malkutha wahaila ( From You comes the all – working will, the lively strength to act

wateschbuchta l’ahlâm almîn ( The song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age)

Amên. ( Sealed in Trust, Faith and Truth, I confirm with my entire being )

Because I had no idea how to pronounce Aramaic I searched on the internet and was led by the Holy Spirit to these you tube videos. A short way into listening to these it suddenly struck me that for the first time in my life I was listening to the Lord’s Prayer as it would have sounded coming from His own lips. I wept . I learned how to say the Lords Prayer In Aramaic whilst in lockdown. When you pray the Our Father in the same tongue as Yeshua it is extraordinary .

When you press play on this next video close your eyes. Better still, close your eyes and wear headphones .When I did I found myself in a small room just outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem sitting with the Apostles and the women and children who shared the Last Supper with our Saviour. Yeshua (Jesus) was standing in front of me breaking bread.

Manifesto for a Lay Pope. My promise to you; If I am elected Pope I will decree that:

If I am elected as Pope I will instruct the Vatican media centre to produce a range of social media to help any of our Sisters and Brothers, if they so desire, whatever their age, to learn how to say the Lords Prayer and the Hail Mary in Aramaic.

I will also launch an annual international competition for school and community choirs to perform a prayer or psalm in Aramaic. The winners will receive an all expenses paid trip to Rome to be presented with their awards from the Pope and to perform at the Vatican.
