I only found out about Teilhard 2 days ago and my mind and my heart are utterly blown. I feel such a connection to this man and his thoughts. I cannot wait to read around his works. This is EXACTLY the approach I was looking for and which I feel the world so so so needs, Ive had a rubbish 18 months. The world has had a rubbish 2 years..it's February 2022 and my goodness...perfect timing for me. I get so fed up of some scientists saying that God and science cannot exist. This is exactly why they can. Humanity knows what is right and true, they know what is God, whatever their God..technology etc is a tool to use. Like a knife, it can kill but only used by a deranged mind, it is also something that cuts food. Humanity should wonder, be deligted, learn, teach, be guardians yet be children. I pray (not every night mind...;) that humanity evolves into something more kinder, more ethical, more compassionate. Merci x

[@DailySource]

Many times in this video they talk about the importance of developing shared consciousness and moving away from individualism. The Catholic Church does a good job with this through its mix of: a) developing and improving theology and philosophy as a group effort across many centuries. Thus, rather than any individual Pope coming along and declaring that all of his individual views are right and should replace all past views, the Popes respect the collective efforts of lots of popes, theologians, philosophers and writers that came before. At the same time, most popes in the last 100 years have adjusted, improved or evolved a few sizable parts or several parts of the church’s overall body of teachings and positions. Another major feature is periodic councils and / or synods that gather together groups of people to work on clarifying and/or improving the Church’s positions and approaches. Thus it’s largely a shared, collective endeavor, but individuals play a role. b) placing very good emphasis on the dignity of individual humans including on human rights and protections.

 c) asking people to (within reason) submit to the whole of mother Church even though we in our “individual minds” may think that the Church isn’t right on a few points. When I was younger and more rebellious and had less humility, I really disliked this aspect of the Catholic Church. But after learning over the course of time through experience that the Church was right about some key things that I (in my younger days) thought it was wrong about … that has taught me greater humility plus made me more able and willing to give the Church the benefit of the doubt, and give weight to the real possibility that it could well be very right about the few things that I currently still think it’s not right about. 

 Related to that, I’ve also come to realize that a good amount of unity of the Church is important; and made me disinclined to support the extremes of the far left and far right that cause too much divisiveness in the Church. In that respect, I’m highly appreciative of Pope Francis who I think occupies a middle ground between the extremes in a way that is kind and rational and in line with Jesus’s teachings. 

 While there is some emphasis on submitting to the whole, it’s balanced with a strong emphasis on the dignity of individuals and their rights and protections. One of the weaknesses in a lot of eastern areas of the world is a strong emphasis on the collective, but not much emphasis on the dignity of the individuals and their rights and protections.

[@barbarawerner7445]

A FANTASTIC discussion!.

[@alainaaugust1932]

Discovered Teilhard in the 60s and so glad YT decided to pop this up, even belatedly. I read and reread his works. His coming into public view at the same time as the Vatican Council in the 60s brought Catholicity and by extension all Christianity into a bold, new Light. From then to this day I say the prayer he composed and prayed at the Consecration daily when he said Mass. You may want to learn it, too. During the raising up of the Host he said “Over every living thing which is to spring up, to grow, to flower, to ripen during this day, I say again the words ‘This is my Body’.” Then, raising up the chalice he continued “And over every death force which waits in readiness to corrode, to wither, to cut down, I say again the words, the mystery of faith, ‘This is my Blood’.” Perhaps I’ve not remembered it word by word as he said it, but that’s close and how I’ve prayed it for 60 years. Teilhard is my primary mystic, the root and foundation of a lifetime of living with one foot on the earth and one in heaven. In heaven with him, among others. Blessings to all who respect him. “Everything that rises must converge.”

[@Eric_McBrearty]

I'm new to Teilhard and this idea of the noosphere, but what I have gathered so far is that he was a very optimistic person that believed humanity's progress was tethered to our ability to connect with one another, and that as we progress that level of connection will continue to go up; eventually culminating to a point at which all humans will represent a shared consciousness with one another, which he described as reaching the point of Omega. Sounds like a pretty positive guy to me. Liked John's comment at the end, "that while reading Teilhard his feelings of Disgust and anger evaporates".

[@rafaelwilks]

tielhard learned from nature....he saw change over time....he saw the power of love and he recognized the unique blindness in humans which calcifies and restricts the ability to share the energy of love....he recognized the explosion of life that occurs when two unique entities join unencumbered in perfect harmony - perfect union after having perfectly shed their darkness, he saw the subtle force of evolution in each explosion of life, he saw nature as a sacred teacher of rhythms and patterns, in each conception he recognized a subtle yearning towards one, he saw parallels in nature to our lives and through his work encouraged us to look to all the processes in nature to realize our true nature...

Many people on the comments seem to be against him because of his stance on the sciences. Many people don't realize how many Jesuits were well educated and how certain sciences like Chemistry was founded under religious pretenses lol

Kudos to the panelists for this stimulating intellectual discussion on Teilhard’s thoughts. This occurred in 2015, that’s 5 years ago. Too bad the public interest isn’t as wide as it could be. It says a lot about a society’s greater fascination with the mundane and trivial (even hateful discourse) instead of something more intellectual and cultivated such as this.

[@rr7firefly]

From the very beginning this conversation is a breath of fresh air. Earlier today I was listening to Nicholas Gruner and Chris Ferrara (The Fatima Center) and that gave me a sinking feeling about the future of Catholicism.

[@maximilian8959]

This is the great mistake of introducing platonic philosophy and modernism. Consider watching Jay Dyer and returning to the Dogmatic Church Councils and Holy Fathers like the Great St Athanasius.

[@DailySource]

The Catholicism of Ferrara is largely about 60 to 300 years in the past, and doesn't represent where Catholicism has been the last 60 years, and doesn't represent its future.

[@nohatarek6153]

Even though I love Teilhard, I don't understand his optimism toward where the world is heading, especially that he lived through war times! I live through war times now in the Middle East, & I can see that the world is heading toward collective destruction! We are all dying, & our rising awareness of our collective journey is similar to the heightened awareness that is illuminated in the human consciousness right before their death!

[@LinusAkali]

Teilhard was not talking about just physical end of the world, but the holistic consummation of all things in a sole realm which he identified as the Omega point. In this end, there will be an extinction of all matters and all will become one with the mystic Omega which he identified as Christ. it wasn't necessarily how the world ends, but in which phenomenon it will be consumed.

This Love can save and Unite all things. Human consciousness is evolving to understand this more and more, and through this evolution, we will join together as a holy communion of saints.

[@lioniser2365]

Excellent discussion, aside from the Chair, who was rambling, incoherent, and seemed to have problems recalling many of the necessary facts he was discussing.

[@utff313]

The problem with linking God with evolution is that God becomes contingent on evolution rather than the other way around. The Holy Spirit may enlighten each mind and soul through prayer not through necessary experience or personal so-called development. I don't have to indulge in illicit sex to know illicit sex causes unhappiness. Through prayer God endows each soul with a knowledge of goodness without having to "evolve" or experience something to know it. This is why I feel Teilhard de Chardin is mistaken and dangerous, no matter how romantic he may have sound to many. God acts in the now and He deigns to come to those who seek His Help NOW. God retains perfect freedom in His action and is neither bound by matter nor the very laws of the universe He Himself Created.

[@Bazonkaz]

I think it is a logical error to tie God to evolution and not the other way around. Evolution is merely the process of how living organisms evolved.
