@JohnJen96660941 @EsmeLKPartridge I wonder if perhaps the tension is ultimately illusory, originating not in dichotomous distinctions of knowing, as in the shared, majoritarian presumption that reality itself is essentially knowable. The fight to fight is lost when Mystery does the work of reconciliation for us.

@PhysInHistory @holdengraber "The major heresy of the Western churches is that they have largely turned the very meaning of faith into its exact opposite. True faith involves not knowing and even not needing to know, but we made faith demanding to know and insisting that we do know!" @RichardRohrOFM
