Good Theology Is Simply A Matter of Changing Pronouns When We Have Evolved To Do So

Or at least that's what they believe in Laodicea .

I am sorely tempted to write on a third viewpoint in reply and mail it to the Bishop. The hubris... It burns...

The document cited treads blithely along a number of pathways I would have recommended avoiding. Is that a mild enough statement?

Caelius said...

Quite.

It could have been a good deal worse, actually.

But this isn't theology. Where is starting with living life in the Trinity or as response to Jesus Christ for any matter of moral theology?

They tread too quickly over marriage as sacrament--I would have preferred sacramental rite, rooted in Baptism and Eucharist.

What of liturgical symbology? Or what makes for a good relationship?

It could have been worse, but it really reads more as a document I could have pulled of the Democratic website.

I would love to see your third viewpoint posted here whether or not you send it on to the diocese.

God, that is just awful.

There's nothing in the world worse than a religion that bores everybody to death....

I have up a first set of reflections as response.
