Re: Liberal Christianity
RJT,
I find your thoughts very interesting. I was very impressed with what I learned about the Catholic Church after reading some of Kung's work. I think the Church showed immense courage, strength, and integrity in what it did at Vatican Council II. I was also impressed with the statements made by Pope John Paul II on the Church's relation to science after his directed study on the Galileo affair. The Catholic Church must shepherd a wide wide spectrum of members, from some just out of primitivism to those with modern scientific viewpoints. It does well to accomodate them all while constantly remaining focused on The Faith. At least that's how I see it.
I think the Catholic Church emphasizes the call Jesus makes for us to Decide on a Life's Vocation of Love. This to me is the "salt of the earth". This is what matters. If this abides in Christianity it will live and grow because people will SEE it just as they SAW the resurrected Christ.
I respect and admire the mission you are on.
