dégénérer

Lorsque la perception de ce caractère central s'affaiblit, le tissu de la vie ecclésiale perd lui aussi sa vivacité originelle et se détériore, dégénérant dans un activisme stérile ou se réduisant à des stratégies politiques à caractère matériel.
Whenever, moreover, the perception of this centrality weakens, the fabric of ecclesial life loses its original brightness and wears thin: it degenerates into sterile activism or is reduced to political expediency with a worldly flavour.
