Thoughts on what it means to be a radical Christian, from cardinal Walter Kasper: For Pope Francis, reality has primacy over ideas, Kasper said. And with a focus on the Gospel, he is intent on overcoming the absence of joy in the church and the modern world. He wants to initiate a new beginning for the church, Kasper said, but not by destroying tradition. Rather, Pope Francis stands in a great tradition, reaching back to the earliest beginnings. He does not represent a liberal position, but a radical position, understood in the original sense of the word as going back to the roots, the radix. By reaching back through time, he is, in fact, constructing a bridge to the future. Back to the beginning, the source, the Gospel!!
