Further to Mr. George

March 24, 2007 |

Franz Rosenzweig, that most Jewish connoisseur of Christianity, believed that the Church of Peter (Rome) and the Church of Paul (Protestantism) would yield place to the Church of John (Orthodoxy) - that the churches of works and faith would be transcended by the church of love. If Europe has a future, it lies in an ecumenical alliance of Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and at least some elements of Anglicanism. spengler

Which is why I look forrward to Mr. George’s next installment.

    It’s coming. It’s coming.

    But I happen to agree with this. At least as an ambition. Very much so. Note, though, that “transcended” is not the same as “exchanged for”; that “love”, in the Christian sense, is better described by the Greek word “agapé” (more like charity–but not quite in the Sally Ann sense) rather than what it’s usually taken to mean: “eros” (romantic or, at a stretch, instinctual love).

    I’ll try to fill at least the latter distinction out in my (apparently, much anticipated, if only by you) next installment of “Pelagius Rising: Revenge of the Killer Heresy”.
