I have reflected and I agree that confusion is rife in the USCCB and seems to parallel a confusion that exists in the Curia. I think it is the same confusion and the same characters that existed since long before the Passion and culminated in the Crucifixion which resulted in the Resurrection. God never changes and neither does human nature (the exception to my abhorrance to the use of the words never and always).
I looked at the "Passion of the Christ" from that perspective at one viewing and found striking similarities. I'd like to pursue this further but right now have to go for a couple of hours.
Prepare yourself. We agree. Totally. Dominus Vobiscum.
