Reddit mentions of Figuring out the Church: Her Marks, and Her Masters: Her Marks and Her Masters

I really enjoyed this article. I think one of the most powerful aspects of Christian unity is its diversity. Or as de Lubac might have put it, "catholicity is primarily diversity rendered harmonious." And I think this goes well beyond racial and socioeconomic diversity - it can extend to practices (various rites), disciplines, devotions, and some doctrine (not dogma). The church was never, and should never be, a homogeneous group of like-minded people.

As a recent re-vert to the Catholic faith, this was one of the most appealing aspects of the Catholic church to me. Not that diversity is a goal in and of itself, but isn't this kind of diversity what the church should be made up of?
