Thinking that morality is all about commandments is a relatively new way of thinking, since the Reformation.
From Timothy Radcliffe
The medieval Church believed that the resurrection of Christ marked a new time for all of humanity.
Christians can bring peace to multi-religious Europe because we are able to understand the role of faith in the lives of other believers better than atheists.
Despite all the lunacy of the last century, all the absurdity of war and genocide, we believe that humans being are rational and are made to seek the truth.
We need a place in which we may flourish and be ourselves.
The trouble is that after nine years as a Jack of all trades and Master of the Dominican Order, I have no expertise on anything except airports and exotic foods.
I believe that his death and resurrection transformed humanity's relationship with God.
We can identify with Frodo and Sam, setting off not knowing quite where they are going and what they are to do.
To be frank, I suspect that today there is little respect for Christianity as source of moral teaching about goodness.
Seeking the good is not primarily about rules and commandments.
