Deconstruction and demolition are the same thing.

If  your asked to show up for work and all you do is  argue and rebel about the rules of construction you can expect for your construction project to be a mess in return. In all jobs as in all things in life you can't just go and do whatever you feel your called to do or work as only an individual with your own agenda . Likewise we have to have rules (Guidelines or plans) for our church so that it too won't  be left in a state of  confusion and chaos, in short- a mess.  When you argue and rebel everybody loses even you. When we pull and tug at our church and demand for things to be done our own way, this is a physical example of what happens to it spiritually. It seems invisible as something not tangible but to some people it's very clear.

Our church rules which many people find old fashioned or cumbersome are necessary and lead us to precision - perfection through corporation , obedience,  and discipline added with our own personal sacrifices to Christ and his church in order to  build up the body of Christ. The  rules and regulations needed to  perfect us as are not meant as a means to crush our individually but in reality the rules are meant to enhance the entire body of Christ and our individuality conducted within the guidelines of the Catholic church only enhance our works for God and both for us on a personal level and collectively for our entire church. When we do what we are called to do, it's a win- win for everybody.
