Timothy Radcliffe on rearranging the furniture

Below is a quote from Timothy Radcliffe talking about the present crisis in the Catholic Church.

Timothy Radcliffe is an English Dominican, who was master of the Order from 1992 to 2002

One  fruit of the present crisis may be that we are being propelled unavoidably into imagining a new way of being Church.

Anything less is just rearranging the furniture.

The Dominican community in St Saviour's, Upper Dorset Street in Dublin 1 is about to install secondhand choir stalls from the Cistercian Abbey in Mount Mellerary, Co. Waterford.

It will mean there will be two sets of choir stalls in the church on Dublin's Dominick Street.

Timothy Radcliffe argues against simply rearranging the furniture.
