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 “agapĂ©” (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”.
