Episode 73: Advent 2 - Repent for The Kingdom

There are not two histories, one profane and one sacred, "juxtaposed" or "closely linked." Rather, there is only one human history, irreversibly assumed by Christ, the Lord of history. His redemptive work embraces all the dimensions of existence and brings them to their fullness. The history of salvation is the very heart of human history. —Gustavo Gutiérrez

Erich Fromm, a psychoanalyst, humanistic philosopher, and German Jew who fled the Nazi regime once wrote, “Obedience might very well cause the end of human history.”

Episode 69: "Sink or Swim"

Episode 64: 5th Sunday of Easter - "A Detached Love"

“Where I am going you can not come...Love one another” “When Christ said to his disciples, ‘Love one another,’ he was not prescribing attachment for them… he commanded them to transform these bonds into friendship.” - Simone Weil
