The world is not here to call the Church to repentance, transformation of mind, reformation of desires, and redemption of body. Rather, it is the Church that calls for these of the world.
It is not the perogative of the Church to integrate itself into the surrounding culture by accepting without redemption the imperatives of that culture; rather, it is the mission of the Church to redeem the surrounding culture, so that it becomes, as much as possible, the Kingdom of God.
Far from being neutral, culture is in need of redemption. We do not accept it uncategorically, but transform it, raising it to the height of the Gospel.
