Update: It turns out that this release of the doves by children within the benevolent gaze of the smiling pope has been a ritual practice on the last Sunday in January since Pope John Paul. And it’s not surprising, and not unusual that the all-white doves are then attacked by resident predator birds. So then the question, why does this pope, named after Saint Francis who so loved the world’s creatures, continue the practice? Let’s assume Pope Francis knew this attack would probably happen. Why would he then go ahead? The symbology (see comments below) just gets more and more convoluted.
UpSo. It appears that none of us are looking at this situation neutrally. How could we? The symbolism is too precise, the timing too exact. When thousands of people are watching innocent children release two defenseless doves of peace with our sainted Francis behind, what could possibly go wrong?
Crow: symbol of the shapeshifter, a master of illusion.
Crow medicine signifies a firsthand knowledge of a higher order of right and wrong than that indicated by the laws created in human culture.
And seagull?
Seagulls are spiritual messengers that demonstrate that a higher communication with guides is taking place. He shows how to see above situations with a higher clarity and teaches that there are many perspectives to consider. . . It is time to listen and watch for the nuances and timing of action.
I imagine most people would view this astonishing, seemingly divinely (?) satanically (?) choreographed symbolic scene as a bad omen for the Ukraine. I’d say it may refer more to Francis himself.
Remember, Pope Francis is a Jesuit, a master of illusion. We need to view everything this extremely clever, right-sounding, apparently “populist” Pope does and says with “many perspectives.”

Ann, the symbolism is amazing…
The Crow is one of Earth’s most intelligent creatures. As the keeper of Sacred Law, the Crow
is a harbinger of a profound change in consciousness that occurs after the void of darkness is
faced in truth and integrity.
Seagulls are seen as messengers of the gods…especially ancient Celtic deities and symbolize
the releasing of fear…the release of which brings forth true freedom.
Truth, Integrity, and Freedom…incredibly optimistic symbolism!
BEAUTIFUL!
Oops…left out the Dove in the symbolic equation…
There can be no Peace (Dove) on Earth until we face with integrity, the dark void that precedes change in consciousness of truth (Crow) and rise above fear toward authentic freedom (Seagull).
Symbolically speaking, this is incredible time to be alive on Planet Earth!
EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL! Thanks so much, Rose.
The crow is also associated with the Morrigan, a Celtic Goddess of Sovereignty and the Land. Perhaps she is chasing the false peace intended to usher in the One World Religion — and the seagull advises us to take notice.
Nice!
Wonderful symbolic interpretation. Yes I must admit I am hesitant to jump on the bandwagon about how fantastic the new pope is.
I thought you might find this article interesting in regards to Huffington Post: http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2014/01/09-2
Check the Pope Francis post again. I just updated it.
And yes, very interesting the article you sent, especially with Pierre Omidyar involved . . . Hmmm. So he’s going to work with Glenn Greenwald as well in a “new” venture? Oh my. So as James Corbett and boilingfrogs asks, Who IS Glenn Greenwald?
