Found: The Missing Ingredient in Explaining the Catholic Crisis
Christ is Risen! A Blessed Eastertide to you and yours. Due to circumstances beyond my control, the new essay I had hoped to post here on Easter Monday will be posted later this week (God willing). Thank you for your patience and understanding, and my apologies for the delay.
Dear Friends:
This past Lent I've been consumed with conducting an intensive, meticulous study of Sacred Scripture's "meta-narrative" or spiritual "story arc" -- its "map," if you will, of where salvation history is heading.
In carefully re-reading and poring over the Biblical text as well as reading dozens of commentaries, reference works, and monographs on Biblical theology, I've spent an average of eight hours a day on this massive project. (That's on top of all my other eight-hours-a-day worth of work!)
In the process, God in His mercy and undeserved kindness has shown me something that constitutes a quantum leap forward in my understanding of the current crisis in Catholicism, and in my ability to effectively explain the nature, duration, and severity of that crisis. I wish to fully explain this new aspect to my analysis in a lengthy essay I will begin to serialize here on my website beginning the week of Easter.
I will also be implementing this new explanatory dimension in all my recordings and public talks from this point forward, beginning with a new talk I will shortly be giving entitled "New Pope, New World Order: Can Francis I Save the Catholic Church, or Does He Have Another Agenda?" (You can hear a "sneak preview" of this talk on April 15 on www.isoc.ws; see below.)
God willing, I will be giving this hard-hitting but helpful (and hopeful) talk, beginning in early May in the Baltimore area, in three cities in New Jersey, in New York City, on Long Island, and in the Boston area.
I am also open to giving this talk in your area -- especially if you live near Greenville SC, in Florida, the Midwest, Texas, Phoenix, or anywhere on the West Coast -- provided I can gather the needed funds to cover my travel expenses there. (If you don't live in any of those areas, I'm still willing to discuss the possibility of speaking near you: please contact me if you're interested.)
