Where the heck do you start?!?

LOL!
I know :)
Here's what I found,

January 27, 2004 - Rita Larivee, NCR associate publisher wrote,

The universe is a sacred dance involving all of creation. Quantum theology invites us to be participants, encouraging us to suspend for a moment our inhibitions in fear that we might miss a step or stumble and fall. We must go beyond a comparison of the great wisdom traditions, as if sharing notes on who said what first and stopping there. Quantum theology is suggesting that the solutions to our world and church problems can only be found in the mosaic of the world community.

Imagine what we could learn if we accepted to discuss the issues of war, abortion, and homosexuality from the perspectives of Jainism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Is it possible that part of the reason we cannot find answers is that we are asking the wrong questions? Quantum theology is not for those seeking to justify a particular perspective. It forces us to go beyond our usual comfort zone and to venture onto a dance floor whose music we have yet to understand.

No comment necessary.

Uh, I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed but how is quantum theology going to help us form our consciences on the evil of abortion?

Quantum theology?

That would be the belief that you can know either the positions of a heretic, or his momentum, but never both at the same time?

Syncretism is Rita's answer?

Rita, that's heresy.

We can reject the Apostolic Tradition and all that the term implies but if we do that with full knowledge and a free will we shouldn't pretend to be Catholic. That's dishonest.

If "Catholic" is a pretense then the motive for all this dissent is questionable. It can't be trying to have a better Catholic Church.

Wow that sounds very familiar.

Somebody posted a list of people who have been 'disciplined' by the Church for what amounts to "errorneous" theology.

One of them is very interesting, his name is Ernesto Cardenal. He's the white haired priest, than on the Pope's arrival to Nicaragua, the John Paul II publicly admonished him. There's a very interesting video of this I saw on the news recently, but can't find it.

Anyways, this guy was part of the Sandinista government, he was the "Minister of Culture". I saw a video of him reciting quotes from one of his poems, very boring stuff. It was called "Cantico Cosmico" (Cosmic song) and it's this very bizarre "poem" about the big bang and quantum physics and theology. Sounds very similar to this article, incredible!

I bet you "Rita" here read that book, there's just no coincidence here.
