Apropå biskopsvalet…

”When I used go to Germany in the 1980s and ’90s, … I was asked to give interviews and I always knew the questions in advance. They concerned the ordination of women, contraception, abortion and other such constantly recurring problems.

”If we let ourselves be drawn into these discussions, the Church is then identified with certain commandments or prohibitions; we give the impression that we are moralists with a few somewhat antiquated convictions, and not even a hint of the true greatness of the faith appears.”

”I therefore consider it essential always to highlight the greatness of our faith — a commitment from which we must not allow such situations to divert us.”

Det var ju det som hände anno 2006 i Borgå stift. Och det fortsätter att hända.

Visa ord av biskopen i Rom! (Benedictus XVI)
