We see more clearly than often has been the case that ecclesiology and christology are one. The ekklesia, the community of believers, has as its first and foremost qualification that it is that community which, as community, belongs to Christ and is in Christ, and as such is the sphere of God's salvation, redemption, and reconciliation, and of Christ's rulership. This is the archetypal reality of the Church. To see and seize this essential point is a great blessing. This blessing, however, could as well become a curse, if it remained a theme of theological meditation and self-contemplation. This new knowledge is not real knowledge if it is not accompanied by a horror about the alienation of the empirical Church from its own fundamental reality and by a deep longing for a tangible manifestation of the Church's true nature. This horror and this longing are the deeper motives which are operating in many of the events and passionate discussions around the place and responsibility of the laity as an organic part of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On reforms, the decision has been taken and broad outlines drawn but they now need to be activated ... the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36205]]></link><description><![CDATA[On reforms, the decision has been taken and broad outlines drawn but they now need to be activated ... the speech should be comprehensive and positive on domestic issues,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let others hail the rising sun: I bow to that whose course is run. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let others hail the rising sun: I bow to that whose course is run.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24893]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like that best as I am so hairy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29983]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like that best as I am so hairy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[... when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65834]]></link><description><![CDATA[... when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hope that after they get their degrees, they'll make their home and careers back in Texas, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34174]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hope that after they get their degrees, they'll make their home and careers back in Texas,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stupider the peasant, the better the horse understands him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57089]]></link><description><![CDATA[The stupider the peasant, the better the horse understands him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had chances.
