Catholicity, Apostolicity, and the consent of the Fathers, is the proper evidence of the fidelity or apostolicity of a professed Tradition

A thought for the day from Br Roger
There is no love of one's neighbour without the cross. The cross alone makes known the unfathomable depths of love.
Rather it is taken from a section of the the Rule of Life of the Community at Taizé where love and suffering are seen as going together, in that our vocation as Christians is to be conformed to Christ, and thus to live out our love of God and neighbour, it is a costly business and difficult, even with the grace of God.

So there is no love of the neighbour outside Christianity?
