Quote:
The Pope holds the "Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven" according to scripture. These "keys" were first given to St. Peter by Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:15-19). It is the understanding of the Church that these keys are then passed on to his Successors in his post as head of the Church.

Hi; thank you for your contribution. (Sorry on kindle)
I'm pretty much aware of the "main-stream" intrepretation of the "keys"; loosening; binding.
What I feel is more significant the "Vatican seal".
Two keys; one gold; and one silver; why?
Christ was humble; so; why not iron and bronze (to achieve duality; contrasting colors).
Ive become interested in a gold:silver alloy called "electrum".
Pyrimidioms were composed of this alloy; why?
Likewise; this gold:silver alloy is discussed in the Bible; by a Pharaoh; and "Pliney the Elder"
Interestingly; I have 3 gold alloy caps on my molars
Could this be contributing to my ability to receive messages from the God(s).
More research is necessary
Much love; compassion; charity; and wisdom
