The Future of the Church
The Future of the Church | EWTN Norge
The Church has a future—this powerful message resonated clearly at the recent symposium in Rome titled "The Future of the Church: Change or Transform?" featuring distinguished voices including Cardinal Kurt Koch, Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki, Fr. Ralph Weimann, and Fr. Guido Rodheudt.
Cardinal Koch and Cardinal Woelki underscored the importance of rediscovering the Church's supernatural dimension, emphasizing that faith transcends mere opinions and structures; it has the power to save souls and guide believers toward salvation.
Drawing inspiration from Pope Benedict XVI, Fr. Weimann reminded attendees, “We do not need a more human church, but a more divine one.” Cardinal Koch further highlighted the profound role of priests as articulated by St. Augustine, who saw the priestly ministry as akin to John the Baptist, a "voice" guiding others to the eternal Word, Christ.
Cardinal Woelki spoke of embracing spiritual transformation rather than mere structural reform, emphasizing trust in God's active and transformative presence within the Church.
