All these papers are necessary. Like a sturdy tree, the Church needs roots rooted in the earth and a leaf serenely exposed to the full sun.
.
I do not like everything equally; but not everything is final, and outside of it I do not see anything else according to the tendencies and hopes that I feel. Assuming that this religious form is even further from the truth than we think, it is no less true that it constitutes the closest approach to that truth, and that to reach higher, it must be overcome by growing with it, not leaving it to look for the road alone If there is a being that is the center of convergence of everything, that being is, in some way, committed to the moral success of the Church, and it is impossible to reproach us for submitting our personal preferences to many obscure points in which our intellectual loyalty was not involved.
