<br/><br/> "Change is not a thing to be ashamed of, to be whispered about, to be disguised or held from the light of day, as grave guardians sometimes think. Change, in continuity with roots, is the rule of human life.  It has been the way of life of the Church.  It is a way of teaching celebrated in the Gospel itself in the image of the scribe learned in the law of Moses who is 'like a householder who produces from his treasury what is anew and what is old' (Mt 13:52).  The new and the old cannot in life be neatly distinguished as the old slowly comes to fruition in the new". –from the book
