What Henri de Lubac would think of the Synod on Synodality
Robert P. Imbelli, First Things
Monday, July 31, 2023
De Lubac wrote: “the Church’s purpose is to show us Christ; to lead us to him; to communicate his grace to us. In sum, she exists only to put us into relation with Christ.” Hence, any stratagem to replace the actual reign of Christ with a future nebulous reign of the Spirit is to introduce “deadly separations” in the life of the Church.
