Quando il cristianesimo si riprende, anziché esaurirsi

Marcello Neri warns that the Church risks failing by attempting to find security in historical precedents that no longer apply. Writing for SettimanaNews, Neri suggests that current decades may mirror the 13th century, a period that followed the exhaustion of post-millennial renewal and a return to old vices within the Church.

Neri cautions that looking back to past eras, even those that seem similar, can act as a final struggle by a mature institution against new growth. He argues that relying on historical models that previously worked may actually deliver a fatal blow to a Christianity that is already declining.
