Papal Sin Quotes

“But where can this church of the Spirit be found? Not in some imagined purity of the past. There were no good old days of the faith apart from what faces us today. There was betrayal and bitterness in the clash of Paul with Peter, Peter with Paul, as in the betrayal of both men to Nero. Then where is the church of Pentecost, that original feast of multilingual multiculturalism? It is anywhere the Spirit breathes freedom into a Christian community - where peacemakers are at work, where Sister Prejean is telling people that capital punishment is revenge and not a Christian action, where Daniel Berrigan is caring for those stricken with AIDS, where people unite to help the helpless, where Philip Berrigan is telling us that no one has the right to build weapons that can destroy the world.”
