The project asserts that humankind is created for a loving relationship with God. The mission of the Catholic Church is to promote humanization, i.e. to promote the development of humankind's innate potential for loving relationships. The Church could be much more effective. Object relations theory concepts of true versus false self can help to evaluate the effectiveness of Church ministry. The true self seeks loving relationships; the false self avoids them out of fear. Church teachings and discipline often promotes the false self. To promote the true self, and humanization, the Church needs to promote greater personalism, autonomy, and creativity.
