"Christianity is neither theory, nor moralism, nor ritualism. Rather it is an event - an encounter with a presence - with a God who entered and continues to enter history."
He Is If He Changes, Luigi Giussani, pp 89+90Not a theory? Not reducible to ideas, doctrines, dogmas, or teaching. Not moralism? Not reducible to rules and regulations, to norms, commandments or values. Not ritualism? Not reducible to automatic rites, empty forms and gestures, nor parroted slogans. But when we Christians lose our awareness of the presence of Christ, theory, moralism, and ritualism are all that's left.
