I sincerely enjoy your education. What an observation of followers and those who saved. I’m surprised people didn’t just accuse your lingerie post of being AI or tried to rationalize it as AI.
Thank you! And yes—AI has become the rationalization and trivialization people reach for to remove the person from the body. Incarnation is threatening and too real to rationalize away.
? Substack keeps wanting me to sign in but have been on it since it began for rupees only thnx to a dear friend
ages ago … just found you Connie Chen - good work and oh so glad we were not raised Catholic - our mama’s Italian father & her Jewish mother wanted nothing to do with their religions & mom determined to raise us to know & love every name of God, easy growing up in San Francisco with a jazzy beatnik mom who was a closet Buddhist, even with paternal lines of indigenous ancestry seeking refuge from alcoholism in a 3rd Baptist holy roller talking in tongues church, but seeing the world through native eyes even as they sang gospel, rather ignoring their French Jew paternity and the Swiss maternal lines… our multiculturalism continues with my 5 grandkids despite their mother’s various religions - 4 baby mamas from my one son whom I took back to Senegambia age 5 to 6 - ages of enculturation, to continue our long line of black sheep.. keep up the good work 🌬️♥️♥️
Splitting the body from soul sounds like Gnosticism. This would be a heretical line of thinking within the church.
When Theology of the Body was mentioned, I thought the actual book by John Paul II would be referenced- but no. I would probably consider reading that for a modern take.
Thanks for this. Reading encyclical now and will be posting parallel idea about church’s history of entanglement with imperial theology.
