More Wisdom About Paradox

Once again, from Fr. Richard.

PARADOX

The human and the divine co-existing at the same time is real religion. This creates honest people, people who don’t waste time proving they’re right, superior or saved, but just try to live and love the mystery that they are.

There are basically four world views: 1) Reality is just matter, 2) Reality is just spirit, 3) Through religion and morality we can work to put matter and spirit together, and 4) The material world has always been the place where Spirit is revealed (“Incarnation”). You cannot put them together. They already are—as in Jesus. Only the fourth position deserves to be called Christianity.
