American Catholic Council - Live Blog


From Father Zuhlsdorf:

"Here’s Joan Chittister’s intro to her prayer for Pentecost...
“The Holy Spirit embodies the life force of the universe, the power of God, the animating energy present in all things and captured by none. On this great feast of Pentecost, the coming of the Spirit of God, I invite you to pray with me”
It reminded me a lot of Obi-Wan Kenobi:
“The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.”
UPDATE:

A paragraph from the Detroit Free Press:

Kung, who could not attend in person because of health reasons, was applauded by the audience, a mostly elderly crowd disappointed at what they see as the church’s rightward turn.
You know…. couldn’t have put it better myself!"

Why didn't she allude to Gaia? Where was the drum-circle?

The "Life-Force" seems to have passed by Kung.
