[To Hell With Poverty]

BFL, gonna need some time to digest this one!

[NYer]

Catholics encounter ‘theosis’ in the Eastern Catholic Churches, where it is reflected in the prayers, hymns and especially the confessional. Unlike the Western Church with an emphasis on enumerating one’s sins, reconciliation in the Eastern Church places greater emphasis on personal reflection.

[marron]

Eastern Christian theology has long stressed “theosis,” or divinization, as the goal of the Christian life. It can be a somewhat startling theme for western Christian ears, formed as we are by Augustine’s sense of the distance that original sin created between humanity and God.

It doesn't have to be "either-or".

Thanks for posting... I have a lot of reading to do now...

Lost me right there.

The pot cannot become the potter.

This is neo-pagan dogma drivel.

I thought that I was a bad RC for most of my childhood, when it turns out that I’m actually a bad protestant.

But I never thought that I would see this sort of drivel under any sort of RC banner.

But I kicked out after Vatican I, so, it’s been a while.

I know that you just posted it I mean no offense to you.
