The quote below appears on the website of the Dominican Order. It was said by a Dominican at the chapter currently taking place in Croatia.
It is glaringly not true. And it's this sort of dishonesty that is no help to the church today.
If that man had said that we try to understand each other or that some succeed in understanding each other then it would make some sense. But to say we all understand each other really well is inaccurate, incorrect and dishonest and it should not be said.
Strange too as the motto of the Dominican Order is 'veritas' or 'truth'.
Why is the institutional Catholic Church so quick to use silly cliches that really have no meaning whatsoever?
Facile in the extreme.
“Although we speak in so many different languages, we all understand each other really well because love, readiness to listen, and desire for togetherness makes understanding easier.” Fr. André Luís Tavares OP from Brazil
