Where To Buy Carpet For Inside Rv

Looking Protestant Vatican

Every Christian, said a Catholic who reads the gospel in consciousness is a Protestant, I do, hence the reflections that follow.

The beatification of ultrafast John Paul II makes me smile because I see at the Vatican, as for the Légion d'Honneur, the important thing .... the piston. Rome no longer sells indulgences but influence peddling is flourishing.

Santo subito! Sacred prankster that this great actor was John Paul II! Even after his death he leads the Roman theater, great art is worthy of the comedia dell 'arte Italian.

But what is the sanctity of God only recognizes his own, and He alone knows how many unknown saints will never be beatified.

Fortunately there are also serious news from the Vatican, like the choice of a Protestant (official that one) as President of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. This is Werner Arber, Nobel Prize, a molecular biologist who teaches at the Biozentrum University of Basel. No doubt he will do a good job for the Pontifical Academy of Sciences has a great reputation. Damage, however, that the scientific method is prohibited Vatican theologians, historical research, for example. And I do not think only the unjust trial of the Templars, but also the origins of Christianity. Too bad, because Catholicism emerge renewed, modernized and adapted to the evangelization of the third millennium.

is a bit of what I tried to say in my book "Catholicism and Modernity". But I was young then and too naive or too arrogant to believe that it was important to reform Catholicism. Luther and Calvin have tried but it was not worth the blood it cost. Now is no time for reform but it is a time of freedom for God. It may finally happen to our religious institutions when it finds hearts to welcome him! The problem is that for most people religious institutions are still indispensable moral and ethical frameworks, and nothing is more futile than to pretend to free the masses from religion, it produces ideological and political alternatives that are worse than the worst obscurantism . But let us never fooled because religions are valid only as good as those who practice them, still remain critical and Protestant spirit of letting ourselves be guided by the breath of the Spirit!
