It’s no wonder the world seems so screwed up

I’m reading Hans Urs Von Balthasar’s “The Theology of Henri de Lubac”. I’m not going to comment at the moment, except to say that I agree with Von Balthasar when he says “it is only the Christian with his hope beyond failure and death who can give to world history its meaning and direction”.

This is why I object so strenuously to Roman Catholicism. Roman Catholicism gets so much of its history wrong, and especially the papacy, [and in the middle ages, Aquinas’s work on the papacy was based on pure forgeries -- and he didn’t even know about it].

Indeed it gets its own sense of importance tragically wrong. It’s spreading the wrong “meaning” and the wrong “direction”.

It’s no wonder the world seems so screwed up.
