Resumo

The Catholic Church rests on the absolute of the revealed truth of which it is the repository, on the relativity of an historical duration nobody masters and on the inescapable perplexities of human language. Between this absolute and these contingencies, what choice does the Church have? Compromise is in the nature and at the very heart of Catholic intransigence, because it defines itself exclusively in relation to something else, something impossible to reject. This is what has characterized it as the Church from its origins, unlike so many Christian or neo-Christian sects over the last 2000 years. Reducing compromise to a frontal assault between two orientations would be to oversimplify: liberals and intransigents, the converted and the unconvinced, modernists and conservatives, Catholics of the left and Catholics of the right. We need to move away from this impoverishing and deforming problematic, accepted by both sides and setting the parameters of many people's lives.
