Did you know the Moon has it’s own Bishop?

Yup, the bishop of Orlando Florida is the bishop of the moon. A diocese of 14.5 million square miles?

An old law of the Church states that “any newly discovered territory would fall under the bishopric from whence the discovering expedition departed.

“Since Cape Canaveral was the liftoff point for Apollo 11, it was under the purview of the Diocese of Orlando’s Bishop Borders (at the time) who was then theoretically the first bishop of the moon.

You can read the article on Aleteia.
