Summary

This quote suggests that the primary purpose of the Church is to serve and help sinners, which contradicts the idea held by some self-righteous individuals that it exists solely for the perfect or morally superior.

This quote highlights the potential for misunderstanding and misinterpretation due to differing perspectives and expectations of the Church's role in society.

I wondered how long it took for a baby to become yours, for familiarity to set in. Maybe as long as it took a new car to lose that scent, or a brand-new house to gather dust. Maybe that was the process more commonly described as bonding: the act of learning your child as well as you know yourself.
