RR: We’re missing something major. That’s so true, Brené. When I was helping Francis MacNutt, he was a Dominican priest who restarted the healing ministry in the Catholic Church in the 1970s, and I served on his team several times. And he used to say often in an opening talk, “Most Catholics don’t even know the word healing applies to the gospel. The gospel is much more about, ‘Forgive me.’” I can get away with saying it because I’m a priest. I guess I can. It’s about punishing, not healing. And everything according to the depth of the sin deserves a greater and greater punishment. Now, when you’re concentrating on reward, punishment, you never get to healing. BB: Yeah. I mean, it’s incredible. “We suffer to get well. We surrender to win. We die to live. We give it away to keep it. This counterintuitive wisdom will forever be resisted as true. It’ll be denied and avoided until it’s forced upon us by some reality over which we are powerless, and if we are honest, we are all powerless to the presence of full reality.” RR: And the Franciscan church is on the corner, and my little hermitage is behind that, so everything’s in this one mile long road. Isn’t that interesting? But Paul merely took incarnationalism to its universal and logical conclusions. We see that in his bold exclamation, "There is only Christ. He is everything and he is in everything" (Colossians 3:11). If I were to write that today, people would call me a pantheist (the universe is God), whereas I am really a panentheist (God lies within all things, but also transcends them), exactly like both Jesus and Paul. [29] LGBTQ issues [ edit ] His book Immortal Diamond: The Search for Our True Self suggests Jesus's death and resurrection is an archetypal pattern for the movement from " false self" to " true self", from "who you think you are" to "who you are in God". [22] Rohr's 2014 book Eager to Love explores the key themes of Franciscan spirituality, which he sees as a "third way" between traditional orthodoxy and heresy, a way of focusing on the Gospel, justice, and compassion.

Why Be Catholic?: Understanding Our Experience and Tradition (with Joseph Martos) (Saint Anthony Messenger Press, 1989) ISBN 978-0-86716-101-4 William P. Young, an evangelical author, has criticized the tone of Rohr's work. Young states that people who are frustrated with their churches might misread Rohr as advocating a vague spirituality disconnected from the orthodox and scriptural understanding of Christ. According to Young, "The danger of universalism is nothing matters, especially Jesus". He adds, "Some of Rohr's followers can read it that way." Despite his criticisms, Young is a friend of Rohr's, and wrote the foreword to his book The Divine Dance. [18] Published works [ edit ] Author [ edit ] RR: It’s hide it, hide it, hide it. That’s what I mean. It’s a cult of innocence. Now, when you spend all your time fighting the shadow instead of the ego, you end up with people who can live in high levels of illusion. I mean, let’s use a dramatic symbol. A religion that can justify slavery is so far from anything Jesus talked about, but that a large percentage could buy it. “Yeah, this is what Jesus expected.” I was just reading this morning letters that freed slaves sent to their former masters and oh, they just make you weep. But they weren’t vengeful letters, they were just, “Why did you do this? Why did you treat my little daughter, my little boy, my husband this way?” And when you read it, you say, “It was once that real for people.” RR: I was inspired the summer I wrote that book, I guess. Because it’s so well received in jails and prisons, really. Taylor, Leon (January 1978). "Rohr on the cutting edge of the church" .

The Good News According to Luke: Spiritual Reflections (Crossroad Publishing Co, U.S., 1997) ISBN 978-0-8245-1490-7 BB: I mean, “We suffer to get well. We surrender to win. We die to live, and we give it away to keep it.”To live on the edge of the inside is different than being an insider, a "company man" or a dues paying member. Yes, you have learned the rules and you understand and honor the system as far as it goes, but you do not need to protect it, defend it or promote it. It has served its initial and helpful function. You have learned the rules well enough to know how to "break the rules" without really breaking them at all. "Not to abolish the law but to complete it" as Jesus rightly puts it (Matthew 5:17). A doorkeeper must love both the inside and the outside of his or her group, and know how to move between these two loves. [27] Nature of God [ edit ] Jung writes of his own experience: “It was only after the illness that I understood how important it is to affirm one’s own destiny. In this way we forge an ego that does not break down when incomprehensible things happen; an ego that endures, that endures the truth, and that is capable of coping with the world and with fate. Then, to experience defeat is also to experience victory.” [3]

RR: And they only gained the self-confidence to talk that way. I mean, what, I’ve been a priest 52 years now. By observing, just observe the patterns, here and in so many other countries. You said something I didn’t respond to, what’d you say?BB: I reread it before this podcast, and I wonder sometimes, I think about my church and other churches, I wonder if the people who run churches gather and say, “Don’t forget everybody. Our supreme task is healing.”

Radical Grace: Daily Meditations (edited by John Bookser Feister) (1993, reissued by St. Anthony Messenger Press, 1996) ISBN 978-0-86716-257-8 RR: Yes. It should be preached twice a year in every American church because we don’t believe it, we don’t like it, it’s wrong. It’s wrong. And I’ve had people tell me that in the vestibule. In my opinion, that parable is precisely to undo the quid pro quo worldview. And precisely. And that means nothing to God is what Jesus is saying. Evangelical Denver Seminary professor Douglas Groothuis asserts that Rohr draws on Eastern mysticism rather than a biblical worldview by preaching finding our "true self" instead of knowing a savior distinct from the self. [36] Groothuis argues that Rohr subverts the "biblical worldview with most egregious errors" to support pantheism, comparing his Christology to New Age interpretations. Groothuis states that Rohr distorts the gospel since his emanational metaphysics is based on perennial tradition.

In fact, one of the people who worked for the city said, “This neighborhood…” and it’s the poorer part of town as you can tell, but, “has the lowest crime rate of the whole city of Albuquerque,” and he attributed it to us. I don’t know if that’s true. I doubt if it’s true, but it wasn’t that a loving thing to say?RR: Wow. She is so good. It was a delight to teach with her or you had to sit at the same table or on a panel, you know? I just keep looking over at her. She’s a little genius, she really is.
