To elaborate on the Magisterium of the Catholic Church is our mission on Plinthos (Gk. "brick"); and to do so anonymously, so that, like any brick in the wall, we might do our little part in the strength of the structure of humanity almost unnoticed.

The Wailing Wall is a Testimony to Condemnation
God punishes the evils of His people by destroying their temple and their earthly and temporal kingdom to establish the heavenly kingdom in the new and everlasting covenant in the Davidic dynasty established by Christ, according to His promise. (cf. Jer. 26 [esp. 4-6]).
History (that of the Jewish nation and that of the Christian dispensation) gives living testimony to the primacy and the reality of the one true God! as a reminder and a lesson for all men of good will (Jew and Gentile alike): to hear and to see the Truth of God and to turn, in freedom, to God in Christ, the King of the Jews!
This is the perfection of man. To wail for our sins and to recognize and acknowledge God in our lives. He alone is God and we are all learners! Popes, priests, laity, servants of the one Lord and God of all. Therefore we have a mission of conversion and improvement, all of us, because we are in via. There is much to do in our love and service of our one Lord.
"Be ye perfect as God, your Father in heaven is perfect!" Matthew 5 (cf. Gospel Seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time, A)
N.B. This is also a point to ponder for all Catholics who are obsessed with "Christendom" and the loss thereof (e.g. no more temporal realm for the Papacy) as vividly emphasized by the sweetness Franciscan Papacy. Jesus says: "learn from me for I am meek and humble of heart." (cf. Sexagesima Gospel and Breviary commentary) He does not say, learn from me for I am a mighty ruler with power and might, but meek and humble!!! I don't deny the value of the material realm, nor does Christ, but He gives His Temple for our abuse, in order to save our souls in His divine, incarnate life. The greatest power is mercy!
