The Church is what we do next. 

 

It is rare that a line from a movie stops me in my tracks. Of course, that could be because the Netflix algorithm has figured out that while I theoretically admire brainy documentaries, I usually end up watching rom coms from the 90’s that have not aged very well.

But this week I upgraded my viewing habits, and was richly rewarded.

In the middle of the film Conclave, where the traditions of the Catholic Church are on highest display, one character declares, “The Church is not tradition. The Church is not the past. The Church is what we do next.”

Ohhh, friends, this is the question, in settings both small and grand.

Yes, we can reflect on history.

Yes, we can question the present.

(And we can try to BE present while we’re at it). 

But the only decision available to us,

perpetually and blessedly so,

is this one.

What will we do next?
