Faith and Culture: May 2005

http://faithandculture.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 27, 2005. Slice 'em and dice 'em; they're still people. Yesterday’s online version of The New York Times. Carried an editorial titled, The President’s Stem Cell Theology. The title is interesting for what it tells us about The Times. Despite its frowning on President Bush’s alleged religious stance on the issue, it is the paper itself which seems to want to argue this issue only on theological grounds. Rising sentiment for the policies of Stalin never made them right, despite what many in thi...

The View From The Narthex | on the edge of faith | Page 2

https://theviewfromthenarthex.wordpress.com/page/2

The View From The Narthex. On the edge of faith. Newer posts →. Modernity, postmodernity and Christianity. September 16, 2014. So what does this all mean? Postmodernity, in its turn, came to regard this enterprise with incredulity. Reason, we are told, cannot and ought not aspire to universality, even if it is an abstracted one. All we have are the competing truth claims of differing cultural-linguistic groups, and the most we can ask for is tolerance of diversity. The way of beauty. September 2, 2014.

Second Terrace: future phobic

http://janotec.typepad.com/terrace/2015/05/future-phobic.html

Preoccupations with currents in the light of better things from the past, and from above. "Really," said Gregory, superciliously, "the examples you choose - " "I beg your pardon," said Syme grimly, "I forgot we had abolished all conventions.". One of the most beautiful Orthodox ministries I know of - this one in Toronto, on the streets. A great place to learn and live "theoria in praxis.". Raise the black flag at Leviathan. Orthodox Christian Information Center Home Page. G K Chesterton Institute essays.

The Economy Project: Unimaginative conservatism

http://theeconomyproject.blogspot.com/2013/12/unimaginative-conservatism.html

Kindle the light of Catholic Social Teaching. Monday, 2 December 2013. Is full of interesting passages. One of them concerns the "worldliness" that creeps into the Church, which has been one of the big themes of the pontificate to date. Para 94 summarizes the Pope's analysis using a number of long, technical words – though Francis carefully explains each term when he uses it. Each of the attitudes identified here as an obstacle to evangelization is a form of adulterated Christianity. Whereby instead of e...

The Economy Project: SUMMARY of the Encyclical

http://theeconomyproject.blogspot.com/2009/07/more-on-encyclical.html

Kindle the light of Catholic Social Teaching. Monday, 13 July 2009. SUMMARY of the Encyclical. Is uneven in style - not uncommon in such documents - and has been roundly criticized for incoherence by George Weigel. But I find it an extremely impressive text. It naturally has to cover a vast field, but it does so brilliantly, consolidating and updating the teaching of previous popes (particularly Populorum Progressio. Closely related to the Pope’s two previous encyclicals, on Love. This one starts from th...

The Economy Project: Charity in Truth

http://theeconomyproject.blogspot.com/2009/07/charity-in-truth.html

Kindle the light of Catholic Social Teaching. Wednesday, 8 July 2009. The text of the new social encyclical by Pope Benedict XVI on globalization and 'integral human development' is called Caritas in Veritate. There is also an interesting new blog on social teaching by Andrew Abela of the Catholic University of America here. 2 It takes Catholic social teaching to a new level by basing it explicitly on the theology of the Trinity and calling for “a deeper critical evaluation of the category of relat...
