The Church, which is the essence of Christ's offering and the kingdom of God in the world, is a way of life, a space of freedom and simplicity, a family, formed by the love and unity of the people who make it up as brothers, with God as their common father, and who strive to have one soul and one heart, to be members of one another, to share everything they have and what they are, thus saving humanity here and now, because it satisfies a vital and fundamental need.

The Church, as a way of life, is not a promise of fullness without an expiration date, and its worship life has one unique goal: to be a taste and a model of this fulfilling way of life. However, this wonderful gift of God to man has been falsified and distorted and has become an organization with all the elements of decay and death of the world, such as power, bureaucracy, competition, transaction, alienation, anonymity, individualism, selfishness, showiness, and all their consequences, and from being the most important means of salvation for man, it has become a particularly provocative scandal.
