@MassimoFaggioli @commonwealmag @UniteThePoor 2/ @RichardRohrOFM “I am told that the Sermon on the Mount—the essence of Jesus’ teaching—is the least quoted Scripture in official Catholic Church documents.” Brown: “The thing then, is not to abolish war, but to find the true war.” Act as if the reign of God is here. Lk. 17:21

Two tweet excerpt from a thread: ʿAṭṭār Dec 23, 202 Apart from central, and more obviously theological, doctrines like the Trinity or the Incarnation, what contributed the most to convincing me of the truth of Christianity was the injunction to love one's enemies. It is perhaps the one aspect of Christian ethics which strikes… ʿAṭṭār me as unequivocally supernatural, and has contributed, perhaps more than any other ethical consideration, to my embrace of universalism. A Christianity in which this isn't absolutely central sometimes seems to me almost like another religion.
@antoniogm “Non-violence in its dynamic condition means conscious suffering.” - Gandhi. One doesn’t ‘abjure’ violence, one suffers and transmutes it, ending the cycle of violence and retaliation in the unequivocally supernatural locus of personal, earthly and cosmic experience.
