In the Pope’s new book, Jesus of Nazareth, he writes about Luke’s Gospel and how Luke talks of Jesus’ age
the Pope writes:
“He tells us that at this time Jesus was about thirty years old, which means he had attained the age that conferred a right to public activity”
What does the Pope mean about “public activity” and the right to it based on age?
Can anyone explain this to me?
By the way, its a great book?

Pope Benedict said the human being must be treated “as a person” from the moment of conception. Pope John Paul II quoted this in his encyclical The Gospel of Life (Evangelium Vitae). But then in 2006, his Pontifical Academy clarified on his behalf that the “as a person” part is merely an “assertion”, and that what it really means is “as if it were so”. So I am wondering if when he says “as a Christian” he really means “as if it were so”.

“Vicar” means substitute.
Jesus Christ has no substitute.
“On this rock” is Jesus Christ speaking of Himself NOT of Peter. It is the proclamation of Jesus Christ as God the Son, both Saviour and Lord upon which the church is built.
Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone.
