I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress. I spend my life essentially alone at a computer. That doesn't change. I have the same challenges every day. My - well, I'm very fortunate. I married an art historian who, you know, with whom I travel, and we have a great time.Two thousand years ago, we lived in a world of Gods and Goddesses. Today, we live in a world solely of Gods. Women in most cultures have been stripped of their spiritual power. When Aringarosa got out of the car, a young Jesuit
priest hurried out and greeted him. "Bishop,
welcome. I am Father Mangano. An astronomer here."
Good for you. Aringarosa grumbled his hello and
followed his host into the castle's foyer--a wide-
open space whose decor was a graceless blend of
Renaissance art and astronomy images. Following
his escort up the wide travertine marble staircase,
Aringarosa saw signs for conference centers, science
lecture halls, and tourist information services.
It amazed him to think the Vatican was failing at
every turn to provide coherent, stringent guidelines
for spiritual growth and yet somehow still found
time to give astrophysics lectures to tourists.
"Tell me," Aringarosa said to the young priest,
"when did the tail start wagging the dog?" The
priest gave him an odd look. "Sir?"
Aringarosa waved it off, deciding not to launch into
that particular offensive again this evening. The
Vatican has gone mad. Like a lazy parent who found
it easier to acquiesce to the whims of a spoiled
child than to stand firm and teach values, the
Church just kept softening at every turn, trying to
reinvent itself to accommodate a culture gone
astray. |
