Re: Spiritual Insights from Valentin Tomberg
As always, concrete examples are what help us move from the domain of abstractions to the living substance of what is being referred to with all these words and labels. So can you provide a concrete example of the 'criticizable structure and behavior of the institution RCC', that is independent of ...

Re: Possible agenda of Bernardo's "daemon"

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
It's very difficult to overcome "prejudices" towards genocide, slavery, child sacrifice and the like. The orgy of blood depicted in Ezekiel 16 for example with the woman exposed before being cut into pieces to appease the wrath and jealousy of the divinity is fitting of the mind of the ps...

Re: Whirlpool's core/first motion
Anthony, The issue is more like this - why does Numbers 31 matter? , as an isolated passage? It actually doesn't mean anything.
