"As the first Vatican Council rightly stated, in response to the conundrums of Enlightenment skepticism, that only God can illuminate us as to how to live through suffering and what its own resolution might entail. If God has done this in the Incarnation, however, then he has done so not only by taking human flesh, but by suffering it in as well and by glorifying his own human soul and body in the Resurrection. Getting us an entry point from which to understand our own eschatological horizon: Final Judgement, Purgatory, Heaven and Hell. These mysteries point us toward the Trinitarian resolution of the cosmos in which all human beings, in ways known to God, are invited into the communion of Trinitarian life. The acknowledgement of this revelation constitutes a liberation for human reason, not a delimitation. In the end, we may conclude, the flesh of Christ is the flesh of the Son of God - the bodily flesh of the one who suffered and died and is raised from the dead. In this state of glorified life, he can reveal the Father and the Holy Spirit now and forever, drawing us towards a resolution of our human condition, in mystery and enigma, but also in bedrock truth. Salvation comes from the flesh of the Lord. It is that flesh that shines resplendent before all men in the crib, on the cross and in the life to come." -Fr. Thomas Joseph White, O.P.

Looking forward to your book. The DB Hart and Milbank discussion was fascinating. I look forward to Hart's book on pure nature. Fr. White should be able to give a smart response. Bp. Barron might be a good partner in the conversation. God bless, Pseudo D
