"Where the experience of the Spirit in the Church and in the faithful grows weak, there appears a Church which is predominantly juridical and institutional, or a religious life characterized by an exaggerated individualism. It is not because the presence of Christ apart from the Spirit produces these phenomena - as some Western theologians and even some Orthodox authors hold - for Christ does not in fact abide in the Church and in the faithful apart from the Spirit. Rather it is because He is conceived either as a remote figure Who has left behind a vicar to guide the Church (Catholicism), or else as the One Who allows each believer to guide himself according to the reasonings of his own conscience (Protestantism)."
