new wine in old wineskins . . . . .

. . . . . in an article by Robert Mickens in the "tablet" this week:

'Quite simply, the crisis is this: the structures of the Catholic church are no longer adequate for life in the modern world or responsive to the developments of the church's own ecclesiology and self-understanding. "Noone puts new wine into old wineskins". . . . . . . .

The "new wine" that came forth from the 2nd Vatican Council - the rediscovery of episcopal collegiality . . . , the awareness of the church being a 'communio' of all the baptised, the full participation of the laity in the liturgy and the mission of the church risks being lost because the post-conciliar church has not been able to provide "new wineskins" or new structures to sustain such a kind of church.
