it is also true that living, breathing disciples make for more problems. Unenlightened zeal, rigoristic attitudes, idiosyncratic or even heretical stances held with great energy, rivalries between individuals and groups, can and do arise.

But the Church needs to be ready for this kind of energetic messiness if she wants to remain alive and capture the wider culture.
