Auden said that "protestantism is correcte in affirming that the We are of society" is false unless each individual "can say I am." At the same time, what he called catholicism is also correct that anyone who cannot "join with others in saying We does not know the meaning of I." Briefly, "in conjugating the presence tense of the verb to be, catholicism concentrates on the plural, protestantism on the singular."
Here as in so many other ways we need a protestant catholicism, a catholic protestantism.
