But there has been no "dialogue" with the official church.  That is, no listening by the patriarchal/hierarchal Church to what the people of the faith have to say.  It is still a Church in which the powers-that-be think the Holy Spirit only talks to other powers-that-be.  And, worst of all, too many think whatever that once they have put together some explanation on an issue and have all agreed, that it is perfect, never has to be looked at again, they have understood all there is to understand.  

We know that isn't true.  Understanding develops over time and we will never get it perfectly right.

One of the interesting things about the times we live in is the fact that so many are now educated and we now can communicate so easily.  We share information, opinions, experiences and these discussions are public.  In all the hundreds of years before now, the Church could ignore what the peasants had to say in their small groups and villages.  No more.  We need to talk and listen together.
