\u2026of why the LCWR is so badly in need of reform. From their 2012 keynote speaker:<\/p>\n

Although we may never know what really happened, we do know that the story told in the Gospels is that Jesus\u2019 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\u2019 life stands as a model of the transition from Homo sapiens to Homo universalis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fr. Philip Neri Powell, OP, does the autopsy <\/a>on this gibberish masquerading as Cutting Edge Catholic Thought. Thomas McDonald <\/a>likewise helpfully pegs it as \u201ca combination of X-Men comics, techno-fetishizing, narcissism, New Age nonsense, paganism, trite bromides, bad grammar, Gnosticism, and good old heresy.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can read a longer excerpt at Thomas\u2019 site. Believe me, it just get weirder. So Why is Rome concerned? Thomas summarizes:<\/p>\n

Wow. Just \u2026 wow. Folks, that\u2019s not merely crazy: that\u2019s weapons-grade crazy<\/em>. And this is the keynote speaker for the annual conference of the Leadership Council of Women Religious, set for August in St. Louis, Missouri, and based on the theme Mystery Unfolding: Leading in the Evolutionary Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is plain heresy. It\u2019s bad science, bad psychology, bad philosophy, and, most certainly, bad religion, and the LCWR has structured their entire annual conference around its themes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So do you still have any questions about the need for oversight of the LCWR?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
