Cardinal Cupich: “For Chrysostom, the altar inside the church and the ‘altar’ of the marginalized person on the street were two aspects of the exact same reality. To bow before the consecrated Host while being indifferent to the stranger is a fundamental breakdown of eucharistic logic.”

Halikarnas Balıkçısı'nın "Turgut Reisi" ni okuyorum şuan. Çocukken okuduğum korsan romanlarına çok benzer. Fark şu: kötü (ve ne kadar kötü!) olanlar, "ötekiler" değil, "bizim" yani Hristiyanlardır. Romanı okumak garip bir his uyandırıyor bende. Kimin tarafını tutacağım?

As for Aquinas, the imago Dei is a way to express the specific difference of human beings compared to other animal: to be human means to be an intellectual animal (and with a charitable reading this is what Milbank means with natural excellence). This is something common to all humans...

Milbank's image of God seems to me rather boring and trivial. As if Christ is the image of God just because he was an excellent guy from a natural point of view.

When disabled people oppose Assisted Dying, it’s almost never from a religious point of view. It’s not because we’re anti-choice or that we want to force people to suffer. We oppose it because society devalues disabled lives and uses these programs in an unethical manner. They become eugenics. 🧵

McCabe here is spot on. We have really become a idolatrous world... not just the West.

The idolatrous society on the one hand is a religious society with great respect for the traditional ways; it will be a society in which patriotism is highly valued and in which there is much concern for the country's heritage. On the other hand... 1/2

Through fear of becoming vulnerable to others by opening ourselves to them in communication, we seek to control them so that they fit into our own world. Herbert McCabe

"Real conversation occurs only when the participants allow the question, the subject matter, to assume primacy." D. Tracy I wonder what happens when this principle is applied to ecumenical and interreligious dialogue... and dialogue becomes real conversation. #Theosky

“Jesus warns us against the temptation of thinking that God is a powerful figure who imposes himself by force, who takes over and dominates, or who arrives triumphantly. Instead, God favors smallness, a sign of his discreet love, by which he leaves us free to accept or reject him.” — Pope Leo

Read a very interesting article by @clarethetheologian.bsky.social on dialogue and synodality. Just a side note: formal conversation like "those in the Spirit" are not an alternative to informal ones. Quite the opposite: structured conversations work when they reinforces the informal ones.

Dignitas Infinita is a beautiful document reminding us that human dignity is inalienable. We respect human dignity by listening to them, recognising them as legitimate witness. Yet when it comes to trans, DI doesn't listen to their experiences. Just warns against gender theory. What a pity.

Trinitarian love works in us only when the Holy Spirit impresses in us the true meaning of God's Word: the creation (=every single human being) is good, beautiful, and worth dying for.

McCabe sur l'Exode "Le seul vrai Dieu est le Dieu de la liberté. Les autres dieux inspirent un sentiment d'appartenance à un lieu, ils sont liés au cycle tranquille des saisons, avec les montagnes familières et le pays de votre enfance que vous aimez; avec eux, vous savez où vous êtes.

et il y aura des libéraux en réaction contre un tel conservateurs qui ne feront fréquemment que se conformer à ce monde. Ces deux choses me semblent être des déformations du christianisme, mais le véritable chrétien radical sera toujours accusé par chaque camp d'appartenir à l'autre. 7/8

"For Lord's sake, accept the authority of every human institution" 1Pt2,13. The exhortation to fit in is given by and to congenital misfits (women and slaves who by choosing Christ did not conform to the world). Boring's commentary is not boring at all.

Who died on the cross? Jesus, for sure. This is the cornerstone of our faith... take the miracles away, the birth narratives, the speeches too, but not his death. Who is Jesus who died on a cross? If Jesus isn't God himself, the Christian God becomes a cruel divinity asking blood for forgiveness

En catholicisme anglophone, - et à ma connaissance n'est pas le cas ici- on appelle le mercredi saint "spy wednesday", qu'on pourrait traduire par le "Mercredi de la Taupe", en référence à la trahison de Judas. Et à ce sujet, je voudrais vous partager quelques petites anecdotes : 1/9

Christ is a king who did not send me to die for him; He died for me, for you, for all men, on the cross. He was born in a stable; he was a worker; he only served. He has a throne and it is a cross. His diadem? a crown of thorns. His testament? that everyone should love one another. David Turoldo

Pope Leo is coming to Istanbul... there is such a frenzy, so many people from all around the world want to participate (leaving no space in the small arena where the mass will be celebrate to local Christians) that the very minimum you expect from this visit is a ecumenically common date for Easter.
