Monday, April 22, 2002 What Reform? Veritas (link on the right) has a blog on what he's been reading about the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. Interesting. Chris concludes about the present day RCC, "the Church has to engage in a grand offensive to take back the world from the secularism which has swept across it. And that's precisely what Vatican II called for, and precisely what we -- Catholic or not -- must do. Engage the world, assimilate what is true therein, and then proclaim the Gospel in a language understandable in our day and age." I once hoped in a similar scheme for Truth, but I don't anymore. I found that the RCC was, at best, only a little better than the world; and at worst, a horror story (as present scandals illustrate). I think the saint must withdraw and return as Chris quotes from his reading, but the returning soul is simply one more person among many. Individual people don't make that much of a difference in the world. It's more as Shakespeare said, " The good that men do is oft interred with their bones, while the evil men do lives on long after they're gone." Truth must be proclaimed (and will be) and some will warm to it or not. I no longer consider the RCC indispensable to that purpose, but the train just keeps rolling anyway. posted by Mark Butterworth | 11:48 PM | |
