MOJ leads, CTSA follows . . .

Commonweal magazine has this editorial about a recent speech by the President of the Catholic Theological Society of America in which he called for more dialogue, and less reflexive hostility, between and among Catholics who disagree.  The editors write:

What dialogue will not obscure, of course, is that the differences among Catholics are not trivial. All the more important then, as Finn pointed out, to “meet for conversations not just with your allies but with your strongest opponents as well.” If there is to be any hope for an ecclesiology of communion, it is important that bishops, clergy, theologians, and the laity build personal relationships. The first step in building a relationship is to begin talking with one another, and the only hope for sustaining one is to continue talking.
