> Frater: The Holy Spirit normatively works thru the Church and thru the Sacrament of Orders/Magisterium etc. A Vatican 3 now would be wasted time and money because it would be like politics here-a mutual blaocking of the other side.It would be better (if we must which I do not think we need to do) for there to be authentic regional/bishops councils in which the principle of subsidiarity (that JP2 despised-Stalinist that he was and by this I mean centralise, centralise, centralise everything) is implemented ats Vatican 2 decreed-and then in 2-3- decades call an authentic Oecumenical Council in which all branches of the Church would be present. Vatican 2 gave us obeservor status but little real input tho there were some who tried to enlarge this). Meanwhile let us be about Our Fathers business and work on a grass roots level to bring the Kingdom into fuller and wider meaning. Blessings. GDVW+ I agree that we shouldn't limit the work of the Holy Spirit. > > However, the then Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger when asked if there would a > third Vatican Council to consider the challenges to the Church at the end > of the 20th century, said that the Church had yet to absorb and implement > Vatican II.
