## [Co-Responsibility: Cultivating Hope in the Face of Disappointment](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/co-responsibility-cultivating-hope-in-the-face-of-disappointment)

[![Co-Responsibility in the Catholic Church](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/hubfs/Cavadini%20Co-Reponsibility%20Vanier%20title.png)](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/co-responsibility-cultivating-hope-in-the-face-of-disappointment)

If you are like me, the news of Jean Vanier’s abuse and manipulation of six women receiving spiritual direction was a gut-wrenching combination of disappointment, disillusionment, and disgust.

In the face of seemingly endless iterations of scandal in the Church, there was at least Jean Vanier. He was one of the beacons of hope and renewal and reform, a layman who had succeeded in creating, in L’Arche, a new form of communion and evangelization. A real lay leader in the Church. Someone whom we thought of as a harbinger of the ideals of “[co-responsibility for the being and acting of the Church](https://churchlifejournal.nd.edu/articles/how-does-our-understanding-of-church-leadership-change-when-we-take-the-role-of-all-the-baptized-seriously/),” to use [Pope Benedict’s words.](https://w2.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/messages/pont-messages/2012/documents/hf_ben-xvi_mes_20120810_fiac.html)

Here was hope for a new vision of leadership in the Church. But even this hope was dashed. Back to the drawing board. Find another beacon of hope and harbinger of renewal. But we’re running out! I thought. Where do we go from here?

[![Keating Life Ethic 2 title](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/hubfs/Keating%20Life%20Ethic%202%20title.png)](https://mcgrathblog.nd.edu/living-a-consistent-life-ethic-part-2)

An essential part of living a consistent ethic of life is the need to re-humanize the everyday. One might be think, “Re-humanize the everyday?! What we need is the legal protection of the unborn, gun control, the abolition of the death penalty, and sensible, humane immigration legislation!” And one would be exactly right. Our nation desperately needs these sweeping legal changes. Along with this, perhaps even more than this, we need people who live a consistent ethic of life
