I like it when a person honors their magical thinking along with their rational thinking. Well done, sir.

One thought that has been present to me in a revelatory way is the Feminine aspect of the Holy Spirit - and that has been too long veiled from us. If God is our Father and Christ is The Son, surely the Spirit in whom we move and have our being is our Mother Nature

Absolutely. However, patriarchal societies evolve patriarchal gods. There's a beautiful series of books titled, "Poem of the Man-God." They were written by an Italian mystic, Maria Valtorta, who had extraordinary psychic abilities. It offers a detailed account of Jesus’ life, ministry, and teachings.

The poem features Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna, who were among Jesus’ female followers (disciples). These women supported Jesus’ ministry, provided for Him, and witnessed His crucifixion and resurrection (Luke 8:1-3, Luke 24:10). Their faithfulness and devotion demonstrate the essential role of women in Jesus’ mission.

Women like Mary Magdalene, the Samaritan woman, and others played pivotal roles in spreading the Gospel and exemplifying faith and devotion. How often do you hear that preached? Thank you for your comment, JC.

Very insightful essay Tony. Wow on the book “Primacy: How the Institutional Roman Catholic Church Became a Creature of The New World Order.” Martin my favorite author! Would love to see the unfinished manuscript!

Me too! However, the manuscript was not finished with only outlines and fragments existing. But the title tells the tale we're seeing play out in real life.
