It is a paradox of our faith — but one that Christian living validates — that we should feel assured of our salvation when our lives have been committed to God in Christ; yet at the same time we should «press on,» in humility and
continuing penitence, leaving it to God to judge our status before him.
The wording of the CDF's announcement, that it has decided «to invite the father to a reserved life of
penitence and prayer, relinquishing any form of public ministry», leaves it open to the movement to
continue to believe that he has been unjustly accused.
