““a Church that meets the challenges of the modern world.””
The Church has to be relevant in the modern world or it just becomes a relic of the past. The question is how does the Church deal with the modern world?
I believe that it must not bend and cave to the fads of the moment while at the same time meet the modern world head on. It must demonstrate how the church and Jesus Christ is still relevant to people where they are.
Yes, society is becoming increasingly modernized and sin is becoming increasingly institutionalized. All the more reason for a savior.
If it can’t do this it will hardly exist at some point.
More of our bishops need to find their backbones, stat. They need to recall that their meeting with Christ, the Just Judge, is really not that far away. Speak now, or risk hearing: “Depart from me, you evildoer.”
There will always be a church, because Christ will always have a bride. If Rome chooses to abandon Christ, the church will still exist, but it will exist elsewhere.
