The Restoration Of All Things

Last updated on: July 4, 2023 at 2:42 am By Henry Karlson

While the integral goodness of creation has been marred and hurt by sin, sin has not been able to have it completely destroyed. Creation is good by nature, and that goodness continues to be present to it in its continuing existence. So long as creation exists, that goodness can never be completely snuffed out. To be sure, creation is defiled by sin, with some elements having sin corrupt it more than others, but nonetheless, no matter how wounded it is,... Read more

Zeal Without Love Can Be Destructive

Last updated on: July 2, 2023 at 2:48 am By Henry Karlson

Christians should look to others, to non-Christians, with hope and love. They should see the zeal others have for their religious faith as a good thing, even if it might in some fashion or another be misplaced. Certainly, such misplaced zeal is not only to be found with non-Christians: many Christians likewise have it, as can be seen in the way it has many of them glorify themselves with triumphalist rhetoric which they use to denigrate others. Zeal is good,... Read more

How To Deal With The Decline In Church Attendance After The Pandemic

Last updated on: June 30, 2023 at 2:46 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Many Christians have not gone back to church services after the pandemic. Even if there never had been a pandemic, many of them would have stopped going because they were already becoming disillusioned with their faith community. The pandemic only served as a catalyst to speed things up. Many left, feeling no need to come back. Others believed that the reaction of many fellow Christians, including and especially the leadership of various Christian communities (priests, pastors, et. al.) proved they... Read more

The Charism of Peter And Paul

Last updated on: June 29, 2023 at 2:46 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Sts. Peter and Paul were both great men. They were not perfect. They made all kinds of mistakes. They had all kinds of foibles. They failed to live up to their potential many times. Yet, despite all of that, they embraced their mission, their identity in Christ, and in doing so, allowed grace to make them great. One can say that their greatness lay, in part, with the fact that they did not let their failures define them. If they... Read more

We are not to judge others because we rarely have the basis to make a proper judgment about them. All we know is what we see. That is, we judge by external appearances. We judge by the things they let us see. We judge by looking at and examining a few actions. Thus, if what we know of someone is one or two actions they have done, no matter how good or bad they are, we do not know enough... Read more

Why Shouldn’t We Take Paul Literally ?

Last updated on: June 25, 2023 at 2:46 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

The Christian faith presents the great, transcendent mystery of God, a mystery which is includes God’s loving relationship with us. Human language cannot properly express the fullness of the truth, but it can point to it. We can be directed to where it is to be found. We can, as it were, apprehend it, but we can never comprehend it. That apprehension, however, does allow us to have access to the truth, and through that access, to discern how some... Read more

The Dignity Of Work Is Linked To The Dignity Of The Workers

Last updated on: June 22, 2023 at 3:49 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

The dignity of work is intricately linked to the dignity of the worker. Work for work’s sake is idolatrous. Work is meant for a purpose, which is, to help with the common good, a good which is to include the needs of the workers themselves. If a worker does not get their proper share of the common good, or if work does not contribute to the common good, but subverts it, as happens when many rich employers exploit workers, then...

Jesus said he came to help the poor, to heal those suffering from all kinds of diseases and physical ailments, indeed, to liberate the oppressed from their oppression. He made this clear when he read from Isaiah and said that the words of the prophet were fulfilled by him, experienced by those in his presence: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to... Read more

Interpreting Revelation

Last updated on: June 20, 2023 at 2:47 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

It is Christian belief that the fullness of revelation is not bound to a book, or a collection of religious texts, but is given to us in a person, that of Jesus Christ. He is the God-man, the Logos or Son of God who became man in order to reveal to us that God is love. We are not to understand this love in some sort of abstract fashion, nor that such love can exist as a monad cut off... Read more

We Should Let Ourselves Be Taken In By God’s Love

Last updated on: June 18, 2023 at 2:44 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

God seeks to do what can be done to make things right with us. God does not wish to punish us. God certainly does not desire us to suffer eternal perdition (cf. 2 Ptr. 3:9). God loves the world and all that is found in it (cf. Jn. 3:16). Through that love, God will do all that is possible to help us, to save us, even from ourselves and our rejection of divine love itself (that rejection is seen in... Read more
