The very tone of Alito’s document, as one historian has pointed out, is ugly to the core. There is no attempt to reach out to others or make common ground or even to put out feelings that are positive.
We continue our meditations on Evil and Hatred. To go deeper, to face these realities, we must become stronger. How do we do that?

Carl Jung was ill at ease with understanding evil as a “privation of the good” and I tend to agree with him. For I, like many, experience evil both as a distancing from the good but also as a kind of force or power or malicious intelligence in our midst.
Q&A with Rev. Dr. Matthew Fox
How can Christians get a firm foundation with scripture that has been influenced by the spirit of political influence by Kings and Popes and transcriptionists who were influenced by governments? A bit of a crisis of faith here. Can there still be a Divine Jesus without true historical knowledge of Him?

In the shadow of COP26 we are meditating on the powerful role that Deep Ecumenism can and must play in the future of the planet.

Julian of Norwich tells us that in life we “experience a wondrous mixture of well and woe” and that “this mingling of both well and distress in us is so astonishing that we can hardly tell which state we or our neighbor are in—that’s how astonishing it is!”
Julian of Norwich lived through the dreadful bubonic plague that killed close to 50% of Europeans. Being an anchoress, she 'sheltered in place' and developed a deep wisdom that she shared in her book, Showings, which was the first book in English by a woman. A theologian way ahead of her time, Julian develops a feminist understanding of God as mother at the heart of nature's goodness. Fox shares her teachings in this powerful and timely and inspiring book.
As a scholar of Thomas Aquinas can you help me understand his teleological argument for his belief in the existence of God?
