It's ethos exists in the understanding and study of source material greater than ourselves. Kate, you pointed out in an earlier blog our paradygm, scripture, tradition, and reason was not originally to be of equal strength (as in the three legged stool) but rather a pyramid with scripture (the base) supporting tradition (the center) with both of these then supporting reason. By placing reason (read ego) on an equal footing with scripture and tradition a pandora's box opens. This seemingly innocent shift (I now call it Hooker's dance) could very well be the root cause of our decline. Could this be the answer to your #1? Morality is a self governing paradygm.

This seems to go all the way up the Hiltz, with his millenium development goals, when he should be concentrating his efforts and those of the entire ACoC on the Great Commission.

I wonder what the priest who said that she wouldn't let her life be formed by the bible thinks she should let her life be formed by. Interesting that that piece actually got published.
