change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change.
I wonder where the erroneous philsophical idea of positivism comes from?
change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change.
Nationalistic churches separated by languages, dioceses and who one's bishop is...
What does this sound like? Hmm.... The Orthodox (whose congregations are NOT growing!) perhaps?
change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change.
Ya know, change in certain areas (not dogma, of course) isn't always good or bad. Besides, if we trust the Holy Spirit is guiding the Magisterium, and we do or should, as I understand things, then shouldn't we trust them enough to see changes such as the ones prescribed in action?
Granted I'm new to all of this with a LOT to learn--but I still love a good argument:)
"change. change. change. change. change. change. change. change."
Your reaction set me thinking. The much-promoted 'reform of the reform' is now going to be a trigger for an another avalanche of novelty. Far from turning the clock back to some degree, we are now going to experience yet more tinkering to those traditional practices remaining as well as add-ons, up-dates and new versions of the new order that would make Bill Gates green with envy. 'Reform of the reform' means more reform not less. The hunger for continuous change in the world demands it and Rome will not disappoint.
