RT @nick_routledge: @omniscommunia @fxxfy @suzania Perhaps the label was inevitable. God is greater than all religion: any attempt to institutionalize the God force inexorably manifests as structurally implicit repression, however and wherever it lands. What a mess, this universal, global, religious conundrum.

@CACRadicalGrace @RichardRohrOFM “We are waiting, not for a Godot, but for another - doubtless very different - St. Benedict.” - #AlasdairMacIntyre Perhaps we find an answer in commitment to a greater common good, beyond the parochial insularity of nation-states and religions. Our common good is planetary good.

Quoted by@RichardRohrOFM I’m reminded of James Hillman’s assertion that historic religion’s paramount incoherence lies not in the strength of its robust attempts to recover the invisible foundations of culture, but ‘its menace in how it proceeds.’ An essentially planetary perspective, isn’t it?
