A Church Which Abandons The

In My View, The Catholic Church As A Community Of Faith Will Be Preserved, But Only If It Abandons The Roman System Of Rule. We Managed To Get By Without This Absolutist System For 1,000 Years. The Problems Began In The 11th Century, When The Popes Asserted Their Claim To Absolute Control Over The Church.

For Many People, The Pope Is Still, To A Certain Extent, A Positive Role Model And A Moral Force, Although Others Feel That This Aspect Has Suffered Greatly.

A Human Person Is Infinitely Precious And Must Be Unconditionally Protected.

But I Have To Add - And This Answers Your Other Question - This Catholicity In Time And In Space Is Only Meaningful For Me If There Is, At The Same Time, A Concentration On The Gospel.

I Am Firmly Convinced That There Is Life After Death, Not In A Primitive Sense But As The Entry Of My Completely Finite Person Into God's Infinity, As A Transition Into Another Reality Beyond The Dimension Of Space And Time That Pure Reason Can Neither Affirm Nor Deny.
