The Church

The other day, Alan Knox gave an intriguing quote from Why Priests by Hans Küng. I immediately looked it up in WorldCat and saw that it was available close by. Guess what you get the privilege of reading excerpts from for the next few days? Yep. Here's the first one:

The Church and its credibility and effectiveness in society stand and fall according to whether it is the place where Jesus and the remembrance of him are to be found, whether it steps forward privately and publicly for the cause of Jesus Christ, whether is remains the advocate of Jesus Christ in the modern world and society despite failure in both word and deed.—Why Priests, page 18
