when i received a postcard from a friend currently in Rome, i couldnt hide my excitement. but beneath it is a message that resonates within:
“It’s really a ‘closed’ & ‘aloof’ and ‘out-of-touch’ church scene. Clinging to the past and afraid of the future!”
Like so many facets of life, the Catholic Church proud of its tradition but caught in the midst of the greatest advancement of human civilization. people who are uncertain about the future will only retreat to the things they know well. isolation and seclusion is what define and confine them. unfortunately, unless it’s ready to take that leap of faith to embrace the future and be the lead actor and agent of change, it will always be seen as the great barrier - where the only play it can yield is in defense.
