Résumé
--
For today's Catholics, who have discovered what the Gospel really represents, the public image of their Church is miles away from their own experience. At the same time, Christianity, a Western religion that has colonised part of the planet, today finds itself in competition with the other great Universalist religions, and almost at a halt in its expansion. This is true even of Roman Catholicism, which counts the greatest numbers. Which raises a question: isn't the Gospel a prisoner of its Christian past? Could we think of ridding it of the stereotypes in official language adopted by the institutions Christianity has created over the centuries? Or at least to show, even within strictly controlled frameworks, that wide areas of freedom exist for research, creativity, invention of new forms of expression and practices? Can we speak of Jesus of Nazareth in a different way than the Councils of the 4th and 5th centuries? Can we multiply the democratic procedures within the Church? Can we stop being a cultural anachronism? There is much at stake: the possibility for the 'good news' of the Gospel to reach 'all the nations' it was originally intended for. Is it thinkable today to be not only a Christian Jew (nothing new), but also a Christian Hindu, Christian Buddhist, Christian Muslim, or even a Christian agnostic? Is this message still capable of transforming people's lives, and influencing societies? Can we set the Gospel free?
