“The Church is in the business of change big time,” Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan said
I think what the Cardinal actually said is clear enough: the church helps people change their lives. It is in the change business. It has always helped people change, and it will continue to do so. People can change. The church is unlikely to.
: - ) Of course! He was addressing the msm. What's that expression? "You gotta give 'em what they want"? Or words to that effect. And, yes, his message was spot on.
The cardinal like Pope Benedict, is talking about the church organization shrinking and adjusting to the loss of following, money and power in the West. The Pope spoke about it getting back to it’s roots of the past (Jesus). He has competition to “change” in a way that surrenders to evil/global liberalism. The American government having the nerve and power to order the church to fund abortion pills and birth control is an example of what they are dealing with in the US, Canada and Europe.
The church ‘change” may go all the way to the dark side (come out of the closet - “evolved” and push globalism’s amorality/ fascism) or it may weed out and cut off the evil corruption of secular power and become Christian again. Reform from evil would isolate it even more from power in the West.
Either way, the congregation will shrink. The liberals (the cafetaria mob) will abandon the church and step up power and cultural attack it if it becomes Christian and rejects evil (judges right from wrong) and the conservatives will abandon it if it openly gives into evil (names evil, good).
Sooner or later the evil (global communist power players with the gay mafia “ethics’) in the church will fall because Jesus will not abide it in His church. When it does fall, it will be a whole different spiritual experience.
