Const.: GC 34, Decree 4: “Our Mission and Culture”, par. 20

The problems of working in these post-modern, post-Christian contexts need no elaboration here, because the boundary line between the Gospel and the modern and post-modern culture passes through the heart of each of us. Each Jesuit encounters the impulse to unbelief first of all in himself; it is only when we deal with that dimension in ourselves that we can speak to others of the reality of God.

  2. I'm not a Jesuit but I am dealing with certain "dimensions": and I am miles away from finding a resolution.

  3. Thanks. Yes, when we are honest about our vulnerabilities with our faith, we deal with reality and its many dimensions.
