RT @nick_routledge: @BrianZahnd The Kingdom, like a thief in the night. What happens to our world when the precarious order of false transcendence imposed by the political mechanism ceases to function? Rohr: “The True Sacred, which is synonymous with the Reign of God, unmasks and relativizes the false sacred."
@carolmaczim @MassimoFaggioli @cwwhiteNCR In terms of truly planetary fundamentals, 'American democracy' in 2024 offers what? A choice for genocide: radical evil. Our alternative to the demonic complex, then? Religion? Loisy: "Jesus announced the Kingdom and it was the Church that arrived." The Kingdom, then. What is it?

Tweet thread excerpt here: 2/ "We do not preach only one coming of Christ, but the second as well, much more glorious. The first coming was marked by patience; the second brings the crown of a divine kingdom. We look then beyond the first coming to the second.” - Cyril of Jerusalem Quote tweet: "The second coming is but a deeper understanding of the first coming." – Moriarty 3/ "The Savior will not come to be judged again, but to judge those by whom he was judged. His first coming was to fulfill his plan of love, to teach men by gentle persuasion. This time, whether men like it or not, they will be subjects of his kingdom by necessity." - Cyril of J. 4/ Turning the page. "Jesus is not the creator of another religion but the victor over religion. He is not the maker of another law but the conqueror of law. He is the end of religion, above Christianity and non-Christianity." - #PaulTillich
