    There are some very sad things about, and this story highlights the great sadness that many of us feel. Those who declare clearly that they are fixing the Church seem in many ways to be breaking it. We have for the vast part of our history struggled in the dynamic tension of the preservation of the Sacred Deposit of the Faith, and the call to mission and proclamation which means we must meet people where they are.

    I find it hard to endorse the sacred blurghh of this all encompassing everything is essentially the same of a general sort of acceptance of belief in goodness and some sense of something spiritual beyond it. It seems to be faith without content, without a Sacred Deposit, without Cross and Passion,

    Almighty God,
    pour your grace into our hearts,
    that as we have known the incarnation of your Son,
    through the message of an Angel,
    so by his † cross and passion
    may we be brought to a joyful resurrection
    and the fulfilment of your eternal Kingdom
    through the same
    Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.​

    Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbour is the holiest object presented to your senses.
