Who Are We?

Here is a powerful and challenging article by Pete Jermann which addresses the Catholic Church’s reaction to the HHS mandate. It appears in the Oct 5th issue of Crisis Magazine online. Here’s an excerpt I’m sure you’ll find thought-provoking. Go read the whole thing at the link.

To think we have created or can create a new and better love is to see love as mutable. To see love as something that can improve with time and technology is to assume its previous imperfection and to envision mankind as the agent of its change.  This is not an explanation of who we are but a hubristic assertion of who we think we are.  Missing in our attempt to define ourselves is the answer to the question “Who is God?” Any self-understanding must begin there.
