1. "' Is it always as it has been in the past?' Perhaps you can tell us."
It is not always necessary to be able to give a complete answer. Sometimes the important thing is to keep the question alive.

2. And when I say "keep the question alive", it is because this is not the first time the Church has faced paradigmatic cultural shifts. There were times when the Church embraced them courageously, and the Church's theology/teaching was enriched by it. There were times when the Church chose to ignore them, with sad consequences for the unity of the Church.

3. "V2 was concerned with being in the world but not of it."
Sorry, anyone who has read (and understood) Gaudium et Spes would not agree with this.
