Comments on: NZ-based theologian is an abuse survivor https://nzcatholic.org.nz/2019/01/23/19052/ The New Zealand National Catholic Newspaper Thu, 31 Jan 2019 02:38:04 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6 By: John https://nzcatholic.org.nz/2019/01/23/19052/#comment-23319 Thu, 31 Jan 2019 02:38:04 +0000 https://nzcatholic.org.nz/?p=19052#comment-23319 Because of the nature of things, it is trendy to take a victim role particularly among women; but this cuts down on options; rather it is better to engage in creativity and improve the options available, working towards hope.
Theology is not the antithesis to Secular Humanism which has permeated practically every corner and influenced too many souls to their detriment; nor is social justice, no matter how significant it may be; rather it is and will always be mysticism.
Not even mystical theology will suffice, nor will psychology, even Christian psychology, important that these may be in the scheme of things. Only Christian mysticism will be of any real obstruction to Secular Humanism and with it modernism.
Creative approaches will always open doors, and improve horizons; these will increase the imagination of innocents, who desperately need to see the bigger picture.
