The Universe is logical, as any repair technician knows as they seek to find out what has gone wrong, from broken washing machines to broken hearts.

Its broken - something's happened.

Am I practising creative misunderstanding?

3. Divine Universe
4. Scientific theology
5. Evidence based religion
6. World and personal peace

The last few centuries have seen two major votes of no confidence in Christian theology. The first is the doctrine of the separation of Church and State. The second is the rise of atheism.

At the oposite pole of the dispassionate application of scientific method in the pursuit [of truth] is the purely passionate 'the infidels must die' paradigm, reflected in the doctrine that it is good to die for the cause.

Pope John Paul II: Fidei depositum: 'The presentation of doctrine must be biblical and liturgical . . . ' ie legal and practical. John Paull II

These days the spying business has become a branch of software engineering and the religious idea is to subvert all these software engineers by turning their minds toward peace as well as war so that they may resist the efforts of their warlike superiors.

We are fighting the dark side of history embodied in parts of the ancient religions, governments, war etc. Basically we are fighting a rearguard against uncivilized behaviour as we gradually advance the frontiers of civilized behaviour. Julia Baird

Isaiah, and (Alexander Jones, Editor), in The Jerusalem Bible, Darton Longman and Todd 1966 Introduction to the Prophets: 'The prophet Isaiah was born about 756 B.C. In the year of king Uzziah's death, 740, he received his prophetic vision while in the Temple of Jerusalem. His mission was to proclaim the fall of Israel and Judah, the punishment of the nation's infidelity. ... The prominent part played by Isaiah in his country's affairs made him a national figure, but he was also a poet of genius. Brilliance of style and freshness of imagery make his work pre-eminent in the literature of the Bible; he wrote a conciae, majestic and harmonious prose unsurpassed by any of the biblical writers who were to follow him.'  Amazon   back

le Carre, John, A Small Town in Germany, Putnam 1968 Editorial review: 'A man is missing. Harting, refugee background, a Junior Something in the British Embassy in Bonn. Gone with him are forty-three files, all of them Confidential or above. It is vital that the Germans do not learn that Harting is missing, nor that there's been a leak. With radical students and neo-Nazis rioting and critical negotiations under way in Brussels, the timing could not be worse -- and that's probably not an accident. Alan Turner, London's security officer, is sent to Bonn to find the missing man and files as Germany's past, present, and future threaten to collide in a nightmare of violence.'  Amazon   back

John Paull II, Apostolic Constitution Fidei Depositum, '3. The Doctrinal Value of the Text The Catechism of the Catholic Church, which I approved 25 June last and the publication of which I today order by virtue of my Apostolic Authority, is a statement of the Church's faith and of catholic doctrine, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition and the Church's Magisterium. I declare it to be a sure norm for teaching the faith and thus a valid and legitimate instrument for ecclesial communion.' back

Julia Baird, ISIL death cult obscures its rape cult, 'The stories have a sickening similarity. After sustained aerial attack, when soldiers walk into newly emptied, dusty streets in Iraq, dotted with dead bodies and mangled car carcasses, they have found naked women, bound and left on the ground, who have been raped repeatedly.' back
