Isaiah's vision in the first reading, of a pilgrimage to the mountain of the Lord, is a bold and daring act of imagination given that he envisages through it the universality of salvation. For him it is the Torah, the law, the will of God, as regards history and society, that attracts all nations and peoples to convergence towards Sion.

Moreover, the church will never admit that condoms are acceptable when they destroy the ability to conce... Read More
Christ's kingship remains one of reconciliation, although the feast might remind us of the days when Christianity aspired to temporal power. The crucifixion of the Son of God by the Super Power of the ancient world seems to be unacceptable and an unreasonable method of redeeming the world, especially when Christ suffering was aggravated by the amusement of the crowd at the sight of the harsh punishment righteously inflicted on an idealistic blasphemer. Humanity needs God and s... Read More
