Over 21 Centuries, the Church, like the people of Israel, has had a lot of ups and downs, decline and renewal.  The mission of the Church has been to help people reform their lives, but, itself, is often in need of reform.

Reform Vatican style and the Gospel

“If other ages felt less, they saw more, even though they saw with the blind, prophetical, unsentimental eye of acceptance, which is to say, of faith. In the absence of this faith now, we govern by tenderness. It is a tenderness which, long cut off from the person of Christ, is wrapped in theory. When tenderness is detached from the source of tenderness, its logical outcome is terror. It ends in forced-labor camps and in the fumes of the gas chamber.” - Flannery O'Connor, A Memoir of Mary Ann
