A Bridge Builder

Posted: 6/9/2018

Today, I learnt from this excellent documentary video on YouTube The Bridges That Built London (History Of London Documentary) | Timeline (Presented by Dan Cruickshank, 2012; IMDb) that the latin word pontifex (maximus, pope) translates into bridge builder. I was stunned for a moment. I do not recall ever having learnt this.

What a great title and program for the leader of the Roman catholic church.
