Christianity Quote by Johann Baptist Metz

“Nije li u međuvremenu kršćanstvo što dalje to više gubilo tu osjetljivost za situaciju? Ono više ne najavljuje, ne naviješta, ono još samo ponavlja ono što jest pa ga onda iritira vlastita mjerodavnost koja nema nikakvih posljedica.” quote by Johann Baptist Metz
