Syncretistic Catholicism

Another Minority Report

another minority report

Syncretistic Catholicism where any Anglican, Episcopal, Roman & Orthodox

consensus informs core beliefs & divergences are received as valid theological
opinions

What about the One, Who simultaneously

experienced the patiency of His own agency?

Abstractly, we properly apply modal qualifications & asymmetries,

participatory analogies & apophatic negations to divine & human natures and
speak of agencies, volitions, intelligibilities, intentionalities, universals, etc

Concretely, can’t we properly explore & speculate about various positive

principles that might be implicated in those abstractions, for example – not
as derived from the imposition of competing metaphysical idioms, but – as
exegetically mined from such as a synoptic narrative Christology and/or
historically interpreted from our community’s councils, traditions, practices &
worship?

Might we explore persons as subjects of positive metaphysical acts,

undergirded by various positive principles (divine arche & fontal plenitude,
infinite ex Deo potencies of human persons)?

Might we speak of the positive content of divine mysteries, especially

incarnation, in terms of – not only divine & human natures, but – synergistic
doers of identical divine teloi?

Might we locate here the interpersonal symmetries & reciprocities of agents,

whom, as in the 12 Days of Christmas, we can properly refer to using agent
nouns (like butchers, bakers & candlestick makers)?

What songs might we sing & stories might we tell, then, about agents willing,
powers doing, actualizers actualizing, individuators individuating,
particularizers particularizing, universalizers universalizing, incarnators
incarnating, intenders intending,
intellectors intellecting, participators participating and
lovers loving?

What about the One, Who simultaneously experienced the patiency of His
own agency? the particularity of His own universality?

What about the Many, Who are in infinite ex Deo potency, Who are beloved,
becoming Lovers?
