Living a dangerous illusion

"A church that feels itself embattled, and believes it needs to resurrect all the symbols of its past glory in order to bolster its authority, is a church that is living a dangerous illusion."

"There are no moral, intellectual or geographical borders that can deny grace its citizenship in the world."

James Hanvey SJ teaches at the University of San Francisco.
