The positive as against that address not only against the negatives. In the heart of the church life, be a man of the church, more and more. Be a part of their vitality. The whole belief in the ever-more-God and his actions against her and take her in as one of the millions and billions since the day of Pentecost hall. Not solidify, but live in love and gratitude. Humbly and tentatively go ahead with her.
In this sense, a further section of Henri de Lubac meditation on the church, specifically the section about "the man of the church":
"As a man of the church he loves and their past, he meditated on. their story. He discovers the revered and tradition. Not cultivate them wistfully or take refuge in an antiquarian, he could think of any way around to condemn even less about the Church today than they were senile or has since been rejected by her fiance. Such an attitude is contrary to it instinctively. If he like to mind staying in the early Church, at the time, since, as Irenaeus says, 'the preaching of the Apostles still echo', 'the blood of Christ was still warm and the faith burning in the hearts of all believers burned 'so distrusts but he the myths of the Golden Age, which meet the natural tendency of people to exaggerate, outrage, frivolous condemnation so much. Besides, he knows that Christ is always present, today as yesterday, and until completion of Time, 'to continue his life on earth, not for it to start again'. Therefore, he does not repeat on and on: Ab initio non fuit sic [The Merchant: In the beginning it was not so; scipio] .
He also asked not 'a silent church and teachers dead'. He 'petrified' tradition not. For him it is not something that 'everything belongs to the past than the present; it can be a great 'force', to live fully and permanently, you do not break up. It never occurred to him to appeal to today's doctrinal preaching at any earlier stage of the dogma or religious customs, or call the number, to interpret that, that is, to neutralize them. He takes rather more than an absolute standard in reception. Because he believes the same time that God has revealed to us all, finally in his Son, and that are still 'adapting each epoch in the Church and the Church the new understanding of the mystery of Christ' is the providence of God. He knows very well that the church in the exercise of their teaching career, no new inventions presents, nor even of itself speaks, she does not claim to own 'the true source of revelation' to be, as you accuse some detractors wrongly, they think only of the divine revelation along and declares it 'under the internal guidance of the Holy Spirit, which is given her Doctor of the Church '. 'Who but says they abused their power to spread lies, the belief in the has not, by which it is governed' Scripture, Tradition, Magisterium: the three he considered three times as the one and only channel through which God's word to him flows. He also sees as harmful to themselves or each other three non-limiting, security support, rather, reinforce each other feature, illuminate promote. He realizes that they stand together and fall. He recognizes in them the funiculus triplex, the triple twisted rope that is unbreakable ". (The Church .- Einsiedeln: Johannes, 1968, p. 218-221)
