Do you find it surprising that so much of Christian thinking was established during the time of the Romans, over 1500 years ago?
Do you think we should look to history for lessons about the relationships between Church and State?
Does it matter that the institutional structure of the Roman Catholic Church was established so long ago? Is it more important to retain continuity with original ideas and models, or to update these to reflect more modern thinking?
How do you think the Church should address the big questions that challenge us today, e.g. issues regarding human sexuality and identity; matters of life and death; migration and economic inequality; care for the environment? Who gets to decide the position taken by the Church, and how?
