This article says the Church should be present at international gatherings and organizations to lobby for cooperation and progress in the human family.
How present?
- by an official presence
- by the presence of individual Christians who belong to various organizations
Official presence ....e.g. the Vatican having a
seat at the United Nations etc:
- some people say it has advantages (be where the decisions are made);
- other people say the Vatican should stop being a political entity
(with all the trappings thereby required)
and get back to being a spiritual organization.
Jesus, please help your Church
be less like a Big Business
and more a Spiritual Family
