Jesus brought us The Good News and not the "nice news". So, we don’t accept the Good News and we try to
make it nice and fitting our human expectations.
·
He proposes eternal life and not an easy life. This is why so many people reject Him, because he is demanding
and challenging in His teaching.
·
He proposes long-term relationship
and we prefer some kind of short term entertainment. This is why the Church
"should necessarily change"
the Christ's teaching about
o the indissolubility of marriage,
o sacredness of life,
o human sexuality,
o catastrophe of sin and
o necessity of conversion
to fit the humans' expectations of an easy
life. This is to not upset anybody, because the biggest sin one can commit is to upset somebody.
Some are even using a very diabolical reasoning and threatening: "If
the Church doesn't accommodate to the needs of the contemporary people, to our
expectations we will abandon the Church and go "directly" to Christ!"
Such reasoning is absolutely perverse and even diabolic … it is separating
Christ from the Church founded ultimately by Him …
Is it at all possible? Blessed Isaac of
Stella, abbot in his writings says:
"The
Church is incapable of forgiving any sin without Christ, and Christ is
unwilling to forgive any sin without the Church. The Church cannot forgive the
sin of one who has not repented, who has not been touched by Christ; Christ
will not forgive the sin of one who despises the Church. What God has joined
together, man must not separate. This is a great mystery, but I understand it
as referring to Christ and the Church."
It is
not the Church which has to adjust and accommodate its teaching to the caprices
of the contemporary "Catholics" searching for niceness … This is
sure!
As says Cardinal. Gerhard Ludwig Müller:
"The Church did not invent himself what She
teaches. The Church's teaching is rooted in the person of Christ, the mystery
of God's self-revelation."
