By various diseases of the intellect
Or failing body. How am I still upright?

And ghosts keep interrupting. Think of me

Because cultures and languages are constantly changing and because the apostolic testimony must be attested in ever-new circumstances, it is a necessary feature of the apostolic tradition that it both guard the original testimony and make it understandable in new culture settings.
