Phases of Religions
Every religious movement goes through
various phases and has different aspects. Early Christianity is quite different
from that of the Crusaders, just as the Christianity of the Inquisition is
different from today's under Pope Francis. However, I also believe that
Christianity, like any religion, has its fundamental essence, even though it is
experienced in many different ways depending on the historical context.
As Maritain used to say, values are eternal but are always renewed.
