Pope Spouts ‘Evolutionary’ Theology in Christmas Address Francis attacks traditionalist Catholics as 'rigid,' 'unbalanced' ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - Catholic theologians are warning faithful Catholics to beware of Pope Francis returning to progressive "process theology," based on his Christmas message to the Roman Curia.  "The Holy Father seems to be teaching something called 'process theology,'" a widely published Catholic theologian told Church Militant. "Put simply, this is the idea that God changes as society and the world changes — that God is in the processes." Process Theology The theologian, who agreed to be identified simply as "a priest who studied theology in the late 1970s," explained that process theology...

By Christopher CookLast night, my wife showed me an article about a young girl with an inoperable brain tumor, a little girl who has been given three months to live. The question in the air was why couldn't that Omaha mall murderer have gotten a brain tumor instead of this little girl?

He introduced me to the concept of process theology, and we talked about the following question: How could an omni-benevolent God allow rocks to fall...

Mainline American Protestantism, when its elites were still theologically orthodox, viewed the United States as a providential instrument for prosperity and freedom. But after its elites abandoned traditional Christianity for a plethora of radical ideologies, it discovered that America is actually “demonic.” The recently published “American Empire and the Commonwealth of God” vividly illustrates the cosmological hatred that mainline Protestant elites, especially in academia, now reserve for their country. “Empire” is a project of the Presbyterian Church (USA) publishing house, Westminster John Knox Press. Authored by three Methodist theologians, with help from a Jewish professor of law from Princeton, “American...

Physicists have managed to "entangle" the physical state of a group of atoms with that of another group of atoms across the room. This research represents an important advance relevant to the foundations of quantum mechanics and to quantum information science, including the possibility of scalable quantum networks (i.e., a quantum Internet) in the future. Reporting in the December 8 issue of the journal Nature, California Institute of Technology physicist H. Jeff Kimble and his colleagues announce the first realization of entanglement for one "spin excitation" stored jointly between two samples of atoms. In the Caltech experiment, the atomic ensembles...
