Disruptive Dominicans

South Africa has been shaken to the roots by a report on state capture: which is when a state falls prey to private operators. So big are the revelations that every newspaper has enough to print with just one or the other aspect of it. The Sowetan picks up an unusual angle. It all started with the Dominican friars, who lodged the first formal complaint. Their motivation was their interest in the poor. OBSERVATION: Thus the whole country got shook up because somebody cared for people's simple daily struggles. I sense that it may be the same in the local Church. The things that drive a thriving Church may be fairly much unrelated to the obvious.
