What is the Symbolism?

I am into symbolism in a big way. I really appreciate when there is an underlying meaning behind something. Especially when it appears that the "something" is done by God and out of our hands. Something occurred just recently that (at the very least) appears to have a divinely inspired symbolic meaning. Although this was clearly in the hands of men, God often allows things like this to happen so that we can see them and learn from them.

Did you hear that the name "Francis" on Pope Francis' tomb is out of whack? The letters were placed incorrectly, so that instead of it appearing as "FRANCISCVS" (in Latin), it appears as, “F R A NCISC VS.” Oops. Someone should be looking for a new job right now. It is hard, however, to miss the symbolism. When something is crooked, or messed up, we can tell quickly. When theology is goofy, then most of the faithful can catch it. When a word has all the correct letters but is imbalanced, it says something unmistakeable.

I hope that we all (even if some do not know of this mistake and it's apparent symbolic meaning), can realize that we have much to learn from the pontificate of Francis. Not just from the things that he did that caused confusion and frustration, but also from how we handled it. Were any of us "out of whack" in how we dealt with the challenges of the last decade? Whenever we do not behave rightly, and the world sees it, our testimony of the gospel does not come across accurately. We portray the wrong spirit, or a bad example. When we misbehave, we are not showing that we love one another even when we disagree. This is essential, for our Lord told us that all men will know that we are His disciples if we love one another (including those over us who make decisions that we do not agree with!).
