Fair warning: the OnePeterFive piece regarding the current pontificate contains sweeping and judgmental quotes, observations and one-sided anecdotes--and some of my commentary is likewise.
All the pictures save the first are from yours truly.
More seriously--yes, it is a polemical take. And? If you're interested in arguing the facts, or offering rebuttal facts, fire away. If you're interested in being my spiritual director, I'll pass.
The interpretive key to the piece is the word "convert."

ReplyDeleteThe interpretive word for me is "confusion". Apologists for Rowan Williams ( The previous ABC) wrote explanations that were even more lengthy and confused than what Williams wrote. I read your article and understand the difficulty you faced. It reminds me of the phrase, "like trying to nail jello to a tree."
