Quotes
edit- The Church is Christ's body and his bride. He gave it life and love, its teachings and mission. It is our task to renew and reform the Church. We do not change her in her essentials. Some would have us refound the Church to make it not new but anew: To alter it substantially so that it would become substantially other than the Church Christ founded. But the Church is our mother. We do not make the Church. She makes us.
