Quote of the Day – Megan McKenna

“The majority of the world is struggling to survive under awful conditions, while the Church in the US seems preoccupied with in-house issues of liturgy, teaching, words, and a few issues in the US politics/power. The bulk of Catholics worldwide are struggling with poverty, the earth/resources/
globalization, immigration and how to love one’s enemies, not superficial issues. … The Church must become an alternative witness of hope and other ways to live than the dominant ones that are destroying people, cultures and the earth itself. The Church must become small communities living justice, caring for the poor.”

Megan McKenna, as quoted in “Prophetic Voices in the Church,” Observer, January 2008
