The Church doesn’t need another round of exposés. It needs an awakening. Discernment without love is suspicion. Love without discernment is sentimentality. The Church must recover both, truth that sees clearly and love that stays steady.   Discernment was never meant to be content. It was meant to be courage, the kind that loves truth...
