If we want security, let us give security if we want life, let us give life if we want opportunities, let us provide opportunities. The yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us.

Being Christian without the Church doesn't make sense. That's why the great Paul VI, said that the most absurd dichotomy is loving Christ without the Church. To listen to Christ, but not the Church. To be with Christ, but stay at the margins of the Church. It's not possible. It's an absurd dichotomy.
