Take a look at this hilarious video. This is why liberal nuns are dying off...

For some strange reason I would have thought the LCWR would have tried less hard to prove the bishop's point. :confused:

From Barbara Hubbard's website:

Spiritual grounding: Jesus said, “These and even greater works shall you do.” We may actually be on the threshold of those abilities that Christ was able to do and that He foresaw as possibilities for us all. Specifically, the ability to use conscious intent, perhaps in conjunction with scientific and technological capacities, will allow us to create bodies sensitive to thought. We may find ourselves transforming the human body from its physical, animal, degenerating phase to a regenerating and evolving phase.

This capability would be the fulfillment of the words of St. Paul: “Behold I show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound. This corruptible will become incorruptible. This mortal will put on immortality and death shall be swallowed up in victory.”

This would also be the emergence of what Alan Lithman calls, psyche materialis, and what the Bible calls, Adam of the quickening Spirit. [And so it was written: the first Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. (1 Cor. 15:45).]

Sri Aurobindo named the human being with this ability, the gnostic being; Teilhard de Chardin called it the ultra person; and I have selected the name, universal human and universal humanity. This type of human is a quantum jump beyond the species Homo sapiens. It is a new species that is incubating in millions now.

This is a Naissance; this is new for Earth — but it is not new for the universe. The name universal human is good because it connotes the reality that we are entering the phase of universal life.

Although we may never know what really happened, we do know that the story told in the Gospels is that Jesus’ resurrection was a first demonstration of what I call the post-human universal person. We are told that he did not die. He made his transition, released his animal body, and reappeared in a new body at the next level of physicality to tell all of us that we would do what he did. The new person that he became had continuity of consciousness with his life as Jesus of Nazareth, an earthly life in which he had become fully human and fully divine. Jesus' life stands as a model of the transition from Homo sapiens to Homo universalis.

She flew over the cuckoo's nest and then destroyed it :) It's just the tip though the Vatican has it's work cut out for it trying to get these errant people back in line or kicking them out one of the two and this kind of stuff seems very ingrained in a lot of American Catholicism (liberal new age crap)

Didn't watch the whole video. But I don't find her basic premise:

We are affecting our own evolution by everything we do. With these new powers we can destroy our life support systems …or we can move toward a hope-filled future of immeasurable possibilities.We are the generation of choice, and we do not have much time to choose!Conscious Evolution is the worldview that has arisen precisely at this moment in history to deal with the new human condition. It is a vision and a direction to help us navigate through this transitional period to the next stage of human evolution. As Einstein admonished, humankind cannot solve its problems from the same place of consciousness in which we created them...

incompatible with Catholicism or any other religious tradition. We have the capability of destroying the world--and in the memorial Hiroshima thread I started, Catholics are in there defending nuclear war (I have put two pleas in to close the thread, but nothing has happened yet.) We can affirm and love our brothers and sisters on earth, no matter what their circumstances in life, or, as Catholics have suggested in another thread I started, we can excuse slavery and KKK membership.

What Marx is saying is something we need to be reminded of. God gave us this world that mankind is destroying through materialism, greed, overconsumption, and aggression. As Catholics, we can participate in "conscious evolution" and try to stem this tide.

What a beautiful, optimistic message.

I took a gander at that thread. It's not so much people embracing nuclear war as people think the atom bombs being dropped on Japan were necessary.

Fantine, maybe you could elaborate why the Japanese still hold war criminals in such high esteem today?

One person said that a limited nuclear war might result in less loss of life than conventional warfare--as if such an action were even remotely ethically possible.

Why, sure---you just have to go back far enough into the '60's:

The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations - YouTube

Don't you remember? Can't you feel the groove, man? Like, copic!
In the song "good vibrations" is pretty close to a synonymous for "she's hot! and I want her!". In the quote from theonenetwork web site I have no idea what content the words about vibrations are intended to convey.

That lady is a classical sophist. She never actually said anything, it was just words fused together with a casual smile (to create that warm pathos). Really it is about the new age drive to feel good at any expense.

At the end of the day, this rejects the Gospel completely. This world is hellish. Why else do we need a Savior.

The part that got me was where she was talking about the baby preparing something the womb and then something about coming out and how she was like the baby on the threshold. (She most love that word...)

It's not like that's far from the truth. Battle of Stalingrad, how many soldiers and civilians were lost?
