Father Julian Carron on the Fundamental Need in Catechesis Today

Matthew Fish publishes an excerpt from Traces.

Our excerpt of his excerpt:

"It needs the presence of another man. It needs the Mystery to have become flesh. In Christ, concepts that were abstract become flesh and blood. This unheard-of realism, this involvement with the Mystery, is the only possible way of being saved. No reduction of Christianity to something merely spiritual or to ethics is enough to arouse people... Christ is contemporary to man by means of the Church. His Body is the tangible and historical sign, which carries the Mystery in its womb."
