The Nuncio expressed himself critically about the dialog process in the Catholic Church. "Conflict in the Church is the wrong way. But dialog is not a conflict, but the opposite". Whoever only values his own position, doesn't engage in dialog. It would be a courageous step of the Bishops, to seek a discussion with the people of the Church. "Only those who want to turn the Church on its head, are those who do not want dialog."
With a view to the debate surrounding the Kirchensteuer [Church tax], the Nuncio said, the Church in the Bundesrepublik is "sometimes is too concerned with managing resources and forgets the announcing of the good news.". As to the question for the reason for empty churches and few priestly vocations Perisset recalled that this is not a malfunction of the institution of the Church; the reasons lay in the mentality of people and in erroneous beliefs. "We need a new culture of community, of believing together. For that reason we need also great celebrations like World Youth Day or Papal Masses in the Olympiastadion. They show: you are not alone."
At the same time, Perisset insisted that the Church must adjust itself in its announcing the faith in today's environment. "We say things that people don't understand any more. We must return to the basic elements of the Faith and freshly explain these with simple words in colorful language." The restoration of the faith has to "come again from the family, so that we might remake the Church. If the grandparents don't take their grandchildren along, if the adults do not discuss the faith, if the faith is not developed in the family, then there is no future."

well, the Pope isn't listened to except in Sri Lanka and Kazakastan anyway
The Church needs to "adjust itself"..."todays environment"..."World Youth Day"..."colorful language". They still don't get it. They're still Protestant.
The Church like God does not change and does not need to change. People conform to God not the other way around. Give the people Catholic Truth and the Catholic Mass. THAT is our unity and the ONLY thing to rally around, not some hideous, shameful and profane "world youth rally".
He did get one thing right. Knowing and loving the Faith comes from within the family BUT THAT IS NOT NEW. That is how it ALWAYS has been. We learned the Faith at the knees of our parents and grandparents who learned it the same way for hundreds and hundreds of years. AND IT WAS WITHOUT ERROR. It is only the generations who have been taught lies by diocesan CCD brainwashers and the RCIA program who have been contaminated and lost.
There's nothing wrong with Rhetoric. It doesn't change the content of your arguments or effect their truth value.
Of course the Pope could sack these recalcitrant Bishops and Cardinals.
But I wont hold my breath.
This was the third one in the last year. They actually had photos of him in compromising positions when they told him they wanted his resignation: http://eponymousflower.blogspot.com/2012/07/bishops-congress-had-goods-on-dismissed.html
The Nuncio is of the believe that in order to cure the patient from the poison of the last 50 years is apparently giving the patient more poison.
Yeah, ok.
Yeah, more Modernism and Sillonism won't help.
I used to think you were just that naive, but I haven't thought that for a long time. What's interesting is that you've got a nice chunk of people fooled.
I cant believe something like this exists on the internet! Its so true, so honest, and more than that you dont sound like an idiot! Finally
