The Politics of the Church

When we criticize the church, we're seeking to cultivate the habits of mind and heart which help us to know it and love it better. The Lord has promised to be with us always; so we have the assurance that the church is indefectable. It's a universal church, but the local church in Germany in some way, shape or form might fail. So then let me propose a couple images for criticism and then just draw out some, some takeaway points when it comes to our practice. Father Gregory will talk about St. Thomas Aquinas' "Jargony" later this week.
