text: 1. How we understand, share and teach our faith has to be radically redefined. Too much of human responsibility, accountability, and nobility has been shrouded, ostensibly, in Jesus, but in reality to institution. Human dignity, ethics, compassion along with morals have been "uploaded" as if they are products of church and its magisterium. This diminishes human (in the image and likeness of God) nobility, responsibility and accountability. It contributes to guilt, rather than personal maturity; to divisiveness because civility is appropriated to sectarian prerogative; to institutional subservience/dominion which is increasingly held in disdain. Compounding the damage, catholicism in the history of civilization is also being lost because of association with scandal and mysogyny. The message is lost along with the medium because they are so linked.
  Church needs to affirm its intrinsic continuity in and with creation, civilization,  evolution, reason, rather than being "at war" with it.
