Dialogue is never enough
James V. Schall, S.L. (1928-2019)
Tuesday, April 26, 2022
The great Father Schall on the limits of Catholic dialogue with secularism and other religions: “Catholicism is not a ‘religion,’ but a revelation. Religion is what men seek to offer to the gods, while revelation is bound by what is handed down. Its essence is loyalty to what is revealed. . . . Catholicism does not stand for what man holds about God but about what God holds about man.”
