Readers' Blog: The Church devalues the meaning of ‘community’
Don Cahalane stated in his letter (March 26) concerning the modernising of the Catholic Church that “the Church at its most basic is a community of believers”!

If they do not do this regularly, they must (despite their outward appearances) eventually become strangers to each other.
