"There is no divine revelation without human experience, and all human experience is already interpretation"

"...there are three elements that make for effective communication of meaning: the one wishing to communicate; the actual articulation...in words or actioa; and the ones who are receiving that communication"

So simple! So obvious! So profound! So true! So dismissed by fundamentalist, by the selective traditionalists - knowingly or not. So abused by "scholars" such as Ratzinger/Benedict and ecclesials as Pope John Paul II. So much of what we need to somehow understand with the capacity to incorporate into our faith learning and practice and especially in our sharing/teaching.

And then, for the dessert he offers:  "...demolishing an oppressive notion of God" and "...and his (Christ's) vision of God and God's vision for humanity:"Laughter, not crying is the deepest purpose that God wills" for humanity".

So much implicit in these. Immense meditations.  Church needs this. Thanks
