At the last supper, they were not sitting round a table but were reclining on perhaps cushions. This makes it easier to lean on Jesus bosom and not so obvious.
Your grandfather is blessed, be of good cheer! The day and the manner of our deaths are the summary of our lives on this earth (not from the Bible but frequent occurrence for the saints, whose days of repose were foretold by the Lord or His angels).
Why didn’t Mother Mary say to St. Simon Stock “…by the way I forgot the luminous mysteries so please add them now.” What hubris after all the Assisi abominations, kissing the Koran, etc. he would add to the rosary. 👎
21:00 Did not St. Thomas Aquinas teach against the immaculate conception concept? I had heard that most Dominicans were saying no to the idea well into the 20th century.
32:05 Does this act scroll say why St. John was sitting in what looks to be the theatre backdrop? Did he know someone in the theatre in order to get in?
47:00 There is something not right about these luminous mysteries.....The Dominican rosary is a replacement for the 150 psalms (which became the basis of monasticism). Therefore the holy rosary also has to be made up of 150 Aves. These additions destroy the very heart of the rosary. We traditionalists never touch them. We will put them in some of our publications, but only to get Vat II types off our backs. Of course, I do agree with the propositions of Dan, but there are many problems in the church. However we do not have to invent mysteries in order to refute them.
10:45 There seems to be something wrong with the Icon of the Saviour with St. John the Divine....there seems to be something else that got stuck behind from another image. It looks so confusing and ugly.
24:00 Where do you get the idea that the Theotokos has a 'refuge' in Ephesus? She might have visited there, but a 'refuge'? Do you know that that islamic government of Turkey is promoting this idea in order to bring in Western tourists? I am not sure if the curia is taking a cut or not as they seem to be pumping the idea too. Church tradition clearly teaches that the Theotokos died in Jerusalem where she lived and was buried there. When St. Thomas looked at the tomb days later, the blessed body was not there.
According to Maria Valtorta's "Poem of Man-God", She stayed in Jerusalem, all the time, after the Pentecost (She was then with the Apostles in the House of Cenacle where the Last Supper was celebrated), in the house of the Garden of Gethsemane (fenced off from the public to give a safe and quiet place for Her by Lazarus who owned the place) with only St. John, until She was assumed into Heaven which only St. John witnessed.
Perhaps this is an American idiom, but it doesn't have a romantic connotation. Also, Ephesus has always had a Marian connection, which was the cause of it being chosen to host the ecumencial council there which condemned anti-Marian Nestorianism. The present Ephesus house was located after Anne Catherine Emmerich's visions revealed it's location. I don't say with absolute certainty that this was in fact her house but there is an early connection with Mary and Ephesus - while I lean towards accepting this early tradition, I also don't hold this as absolutely certain.
God Bless your grandfather. Peace to his soul.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Rest eternal grant to Thy servant, James, and may light perpetual shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

It is also a Church tradition that The Blessed Mother lived with John in Ephesus.
According to Maria Valtorta's "Poem of Man-God", She stayed in Jerusalem, all the time, after the Pentecost (She was then with the Apostles in the House of Cenacle where the Last Supper was celebrated), in the house of the Garden of Gethsemane (fenced off from the public to give a safe and quiet place for Her by Lazarus who owned the place) with only St. John, until She was assumed into Heaven which only St. John witnessed.
Tied at the hip does not sound right. It sounds a bit promiscuous.

The way I have heard the expression used is that it signifies close friendship with nothing sexual implied.
