Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace 24 October 2011: "What has driven the world in such a problematic direction for its economy and also for peace? First and foremost, an economic liberalism that spurns rules and controls. Economic liberalism is a theoretical system of thought, a form of “economic apriorism” that purports to derive laws for how markets function from theory, these being laws of capitalistic development, while exaggerating certain aspects of markets. An economic system of thought that sets down a priori the laws of market functioning and economic development, without measuring them against reality, runs the risk of becoming an instrument subordinated to the interests of the countries that effectively enjoy a position of economic and financial advantage.

Resultatet av de lutherska och de romersk-katolska kyrkornas arbete med att övervinna sina läromässiga åsiktsmotsättningar presenterades i dokumentet ”Gemensam deklaration om rättfärdiggörelseläran” som undertecknades den 31.10.1999 i Augsburg. Efter att dokumentet godkänts kvarstår små teologiska tolkningsskillnader gällande rättfärdiggörelseläran, men i de mest centrala lärokonflikterna som splittrade kyrkan har man fått till stånd ett första försoningsdokument sedan reformationen.

"Starting in 2003, the scientists began teaming up in public talks in which they lay out their arguments in the form of a conversation. Filmmaker Gus Holwerda picks up this evolution as the pair take their skeptical show on the road, tangling with religious leaders, talk-show hosts and several thousand years of cultural inertia. The result is the feature-length film The Unbelievers, which had its world premiere in Toronto at the Hot Docs festival on Monday night." The Editor: "Christianity is dying, and good riddance, says Richard Dawkins "
Kai Sadinmaa, ravalvatio.org 11.9.13: "Ei ole mikään ihme, että kirkon on ollut pakko kesyttää kapinallinen kommunistilta haiskahtava Kristus ja tehdä hänestä porvarillisen sisäsiisti kevytversio valtaa kumartaville kirkon johtajille ja mukavuutta rakastavalle kirkkokansalle. Jumalan valtakunnan toteuttaminen, syrjäytettyjen ihmisten oikeuksien ja heidän arvokkuutensa palauttaminen on sen verran yhteiskunnallista ja poliittista toimintaa ettei yksikään hallitus Suomessa tai muualla tule koskaan hyväksymään sitä. Se uhkaisi vakavasti hallituksen tärkeintä yhteiskunnallista tehtävää, eliitin etuoikeuksien ajamista.
