In the Church, except for the Lord Jesus Christ, nothing is irreversible, because it is ‘semper reformanda’ (always reforming). This allows us to proceed with zeal and without fear of obstacles.
The Church is worldly when it follows the fashions of thought and action of the world in various areas of human life, rather than orienting the world toward eternal realities. What is worldliness, after all, if not conforming to the mentality of the present age?
The Church is not just any people, but the people gathered from the four winds, those who recognise God as Father, confess the Son Jesus Christ, and have been baptised in the Holy Spirit. That is why it is called the ‘people of God’. The Church must be concerned above all with souls, inviting them to conversion in view of eternal salvation. This is the work of Redemption.
