The Cross Stands Steady Whilst the World Turns
When His Eminence Franc Cardinal Rodé was appointed Archbishop of Lubljana on March 5, 1997, he chose as his episcopal motto “Stati
inu obstati”. This is a phrase in Old Slovene taken
from the Catechism of Primož Trubar. It translates as “To Exist and Persevere”, or, “To Stand and Withstand”. (It is inscribed on the Slovenian 1 euro coin.) Clearly, it is in some way related to the Carthusian motto. And, indeed, His Eminence has written a book with that Carthusian title.
