"...resistance has to come from the grassroots..."
The body of 'faith matters' grounding common culture, that is "catholic', is subjected to competing claim of capital "C" and lower "c", that is, Catholic and catholic; the one, "c", of truth claim of public consciousness; the other "C" claim of top-down authority, of traditional bureaucrats who self obtain privileges of wealth and prestige.
Nature's common wealth is owned and distributed in the live 'ecos' of nature, and belongs inclusively to all life, from the bottom up.
Dominion theology and politics conspire in 'divine' claim to dominate people and resources in hierarchical self interest, and to define for people where they belong. Neither nature nor the people can afford or tolerate the religious/ political deceits of divine right claim.
Commonly informed consciousness instructs faith as property of People and not the right and privilege of hierarchical claim given by God from the top-down. Church is The People. Praise God.
