@ rye
I believe you rev. Rye.
The Church does not harbor such a dream, certainly not in the near future or even far future for that matter.
I don't expect such a thing.
Ganimede I beleive what you are hitting at is the problem of evil. This is the best arguement against Theism in my opinion. I have chosen the Theodicy offered by Leibniz which is called the best possible of all worlds theodicy or the soul building theodicy, as my defense for the problem of evil. I know its not completely convincing, but to me it is more convincing that materialist atheism that states that there is no objective right and wrong, non-illusory/sunjetive love is the only true love that exists, I do not really exist (as my thought are just illusory, because they are in fact the result of atoms banging around), and there is no intrinsic value etc.
