Ah, But What Sense of Sacrifice?
If the Chinese notion of "sacrifice" is not the same as that of the Israelites or the Apostles and Church Fathers, then maybe it is a good thing not to be associated so much with it, even though inculturation in other ways may be necessary. (Is the Chinese notion of "sacrifice" the same as that of other pagans, i.e. the offering of something to the Divine?)

CWR: Natural No Maas: The disintegration of the concept of all law in Luther by Timothy J. Gordon
Classical Protestantism is a voluntarist form of Christianity, such a radically different view of human and divine will that it must be differentiated from non-voluntarist Catholicism not only as a different sect, but as a fundamentally different worldview.

The Scharfenberger Proposal
CWR: The Current Crisis and the Order of the Laity by Dr. Adam A. J. DeVille
Bishop Scharfenberger’s call for “an independent commission led by well-respected, faithful lay leaders” is far superior to Cardinal Wuerl’s proposal and reflects a much better understanding of the laity and the nature of the Church.

If the Patriarch of Rome has overstepped the limits of his authority regarding the Church Universal, is it appropriate to break communion with him? Is it sufficient to ignore his claims and commands if they are not legitimate? Or does there need to be a more severe censure in order to alert him of a problem?
