Quoted by@WillManidis @firstthingsmag 3/ But the essay makes a false binary: universal peace bought by dissolving difference, or Christian truth defended by division. It entirely misses that division—wheat from tares—is intrinsic to apocalypsis itself. In Christ, division is not peace’s opposite but its pathway.Quoted by@RichardRohrOFM @CACRadicalGrace 3/ The cage? Eph 6:12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers effectively commanding a global claim upon immanence itself. As such, breakthrough functionally demands transcendent intervention at the planetary level. Cleaning the house of God.Quoted by@MassimoFaggioli Ah, yet another testament to the power, clarity and integrity of your word, Massimo. Cyberspace, but an integral and essential territory for the good trouble of peace. Prayers, as always, for strength, courage, fortitude, forbearance, ease and grace for you. Press on, good sir!
