@johnmilbank3 @SaveTheParish end/ Surely, in build, ours is a universal infirmity, an "eclipse of the messianic experience" (Agamben) effectively banishing the Eternal Gospel from reference in concrete reality along with the revolutionary renewal in ontological status of humanity and our planet it promises.
