Vatican cardinal warns priests not to let humanity overshadow God :: Catholic News Agency (CNA)
This article, summarizing an address given by Cardinal Mauro Piacenza, offers a nice summary of a contemporary Catholic understanding of the place of sacred tradition and sacred scripture. "Scripture without tradition would be an historical book, and history tells us what others think, while theology seeks to tell us about God." I particularly loved this line from the Cardinal: "Nothing creates culture like the proclamation of the Word. In other words, it creates a new way of envisioning life, relationships, society, and even politics. The more evangelical this new way is, the more we discover how deeply and surprisingly it corresponds to the human heart."
