I have to apologise for not posting so much of late, I hope to be a bit more frequent from now on. I was reading the Times the other day and an article highlighted the challenges faced by the Catholic church. Like how to make an increasingly cynical and secular actually give a damn.
I have to admit to being one of the cynics, I mean I’ve found the Greek Orthodox Church to be really not so bad, as I’ve said before. But the Catholic Church I really am cynical about.
It’s interesting though how the Church only starts to change when utterly forced to, though I think this is true of any huge organisation.
It reminds me why Taoists talk of the virtue of the small. Large organisations can have lastability, but are slow to change. In our fast moving modern world, this can be a huge disadvantage. I think we’ll see the Church change, but I can’t help thinking that it won’t be the kind of change they’re thinking of, it may well be one dictated by the watercourse, not the church leaders…..
