"a ship without a rudder"?
Not so. Pope Francis has an authentic sense of the 'ship's' rudder.
The institutional types of imperial religious dominionism are caught up in a 'schism of false dichotomies'. In living truth, the soul is not disconnected from the body any more than nurture is disconnected from nature - nature without nurture is a ship without a rudder; church, ignorant of natural connection to all life, is a ship without a rudder - what is church's contemporary crisis of self-understanding. http://www.secondenlightenment.org/Adult%20Faith%20Study.pdf
