In the church, on their own terms

Do-it-for-yourself religion which claims to be a part of Catholicism. If you want to see where DIFY religion takes you, take a look at the Church of England. A Lutheran minister came up with the excellent comment on the idea that modernisation would help the Catholic Church to recover in Europe; if modernisation were the answer, why aren't the protestant churches full. The problems go much deeper than the secularisation of Europe. A fundamental lack of the missionary spirit is exemplified in the Philippines.
And, as a letter in the Times has it, the Church stands for its beliefs or it is nothing.
