He finds much to praise in the letter , but he also finds it lacking in the vertical or transcendental dimension . Thus , this book is a survey of the nature and degree of persecution and bias against Christians in every country or area of the world , together with a very perceptive analysis of why the churches have been so reluctant to see how their brothers and sisters in the faith have been killed , tortured , discriminated against in country after country , not back in the last century but all through this century including right now . A holy life is testimony to the transforming nature of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament . If that does not work you might try offering it up in the interest of the common welfare , or for your sins or your friends intentions . Any policy designed to safeguard the sanctity of marriage must begin with a re-emphasis on its sacramental nature . Thus , a deliberate line is drawn between the sacramental dimension of the community life and the pastorate . The series underscores the need in our time for a reflective knowledge of the nature of man and his place in society . What Wallace argues , convincingly , on the basis of the way science has in fact operated when it has successfully demonstrated some scientific certitude , is that it followed implicitly the Aristotelian methodology and understanding of nature . What is disturbing is that both dimensions seem to be given an equal share and it would seem that he has neglected to say that the vertical dimension has a certain priority since the Mass is first and foremost the worship of God , not a celebration of self or its extension , the community , even though clothed somewhat in different cultural conditions of music , words and gestures . This union entered into by the couple must be seen as including a divine dimension that reaches beyond the individuals and participates in the very life of God who desires the personal salvation of the couple as well as the good of humanity through the graces conferred by the sacrament . Although cohabiting couples may still be considered legally single , meaning in the secular world that they are available to marry , their status as a couple is gaining prestige .
