Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini calls for Church Reform…
Dear Friends,
The BIG NEWS this Sunday morning can be found in a post that Ynot placed on our forum. One of the leading Cardinals in the Church, the Jesuit, Carlo Maria Martini, has called for major reform in the Church. His original article was published in the Spanish speaking press and is just being picked up by English language blogs ahead of the mainstream media. <Here's the link to Ynot's post>
Quite apart from Cardinal Martini's quite sensational call, on Catholica we again have a wealth of really thought-provoking material for you today. Tom McMahon provides and introduction to a new series we'll be running on Sundays looking at the meaning of "Sacraments" in a Technological Age. Have our Sacraments lost their meaning? Is that another of the reasons why so many today are no longer turned on by Church. The Seven Sacraments we have today are not the only Sacraments the Church ever had. They were a product of evolution. Do we need to re-visit this whole subject of the meaning of our Sacraments? <More>
Catholica Conversations: In the second segment of my recorded conversation with Adel Ghali you'll find what I hope is a sensible conversation between a bloke who has a more conservative perspective on what needs to be done to restore traction for the Church and my own more questioning perspective? <More>
