Necessary steps
for church reform (In addition to
dealing with the abuse crisis) I. Eliminate the deficits in the doctrine of faith: 1. The Church has no
contemporary doctrine on the causes of man's destructive behavior. (Instead,
it talks about the devil, original sin and sins) >>> 2. The church has no
contemporary doctrine on man's need for salvation. (Instead, it speaks of
Jesus' atoning suffering for the deliverance from manīs guilt, sin and death)
>>> 3. The church has no
contemporary doctrine on the psychological maturation and healing processes
and the emotional world of man. (Instead, anger, hatred and greed are
declared sins instead of understanding and working on their signals). >>> 4. The Church does not have
a contemporary doctrine on the ways of man's maturity. (Instead,
"obedience" becomes an internal church organizing principle, even
though this word never occurs in the mouth of Jesus for human beings.) >>> 5. The church does not have a
contemporary doctrine on the work of God in nature on the background of the
modern scientific world view. (Instead, it constantly
prays to "Almighty God," although this word never occurs in the
entire New Testament and awakens in believers a false understanding of God's
activity in the world) >>> 6. The Church has no
contemporary doctrine on the process of secularization. (Therefore, a
fundamental problem of religions, which started from Europe and became the
enemy image of the Church, is not dealt with) >>> 7 Accordingly, many
liturgies and official prayers are out of date and far from life. II. Develop and offer a contemporary spirituality, prayer culture and
liturgy 1. Renew the culture of prayer >>> 2. The "Salve Regina": An unchristian prayer? >>> 3. Celebration of the Eucharist: "Celebration of the New
Covenant" instead of sacrificial rite >>> 4. Unholy prayers in the Holy Mass? >>> 5. How the destruction of Jerusalem changed the image of God in the
Eucharistic celebration >>> III. Tackling urgent tasks vis-ā-vis individual and social problems: >>> In the following problem areas the research of the unconscious psychic
backgrounds and the offers for therapeutic as well as spiritual ways of
healing would be especially urgent: 1. Unconscious psychic reasons for marital problems
and divorces. 2. Unconscious psychic reasons for aggressiveness,
violent tendencies and transgressions of all kinds (criminality,
warmongering, violent parenting methods, ...) 3. Unconscious psychic reasons for nationalism,
fascism, racism, xenophobia, ... 4. Unconscious psychic reasons for bossiness, abuse
of power, authoritarian behavior, preference for hierarchical decision-making
structures, ... 5. Unconscious psychological reasons for contempt of
women and men, sexism, ... 6. Unconscious psychic reasons for addictive
behavior of all kinds 7. Unconscious psychic reasons for religious and
ideological fundamentalism, ... 8. Unconscious psychic reasons for greed and
rigorous capitalism 9. Unconscious psychic reasons for selfishness and
ruthlessness 10. Unconscious psychic reasons for pedophilic
tendencies 11. unconscious psychic reasons for inability to
dialogue and devaluation of other opinions, ... Why doesn't the
Vatican do its homework? Renewal of faith
and church >>> Manfred
