Authentic Faith Quotes

“the church
should critically confront the persons come of age, whatever their calling be, and tell them "what a life lived with Christ is, what it means `to be there for others ."'21 This must not be done in a patronizing way. Instead, the church should assist people in understanding their own coming of age better.”

“Religion, in Latin, is observance of the lex deorum, the law meted out by the gods to the human beings. Here, thinking still proceeds from the gods.
