Karl Rahner is symbolic and a bulwark for much of the culture in The Church and their errors today.
Rahner on the Church's Fear:
"It is a church that often loves the calm more than the storm The old which has proved itself more than the new which is bold and daring."
The problem with this statement is the last sentence. I agree with the first, but the new is not bold and daring. The new turned out to be safe, universalist, calm, comfortable for the affluent and powerful, and very protestant, universalist and acquiescent to the culture. It's a tragedy really. While he is right, he is so terribly and catastrophically wrong. Where is comfortability and safety in a persecution? Safety is with the broader culture and the world. Safety is with a rejection of history, a rejection of the old which has proved itself in the face of the bloodthirsty revolutionary.
