Wisdom from George Weigel

 
 
 

Thus, the first lesson theology might well learn from [St. John Paul II] is that theology must grasp, welcome, and convey to our contemporaries the liberating power of doctrine. Doctrine is not excess baggage weighing us down on our journey of faith. Doctrine is the vehicle that enables the journey to take place.

—George Weigel

from his book, Pomp, Circumstance, and Unsolicited Advice: Commencement Addresses and University Lectures
