Jesuit Cardinal Michael Czerny noted in the pandemic Catholics and other Christians are “at a sort of ‘crossroads’ – in Greek, krisis.” Choosing one road “feeds on the need for security; its ‘substitute logic’ has us think only about how to adapt to the present annoyances and discomforts, perhaps finding a way to continue doing what we were doing before without contravening the restrictions imposed by the authorities.” The other road embraces “the ‘saving logic’ of the gospel.” It reaches “through uncertainty and grasp a renewed identity and mission as baptised Christians and missionary disciples.”
How do we interpret the signs of these extraordinary times? @jesuitczerny asks whether, in our responses to #coronavirus, we are embracing the ‘saving logic’ of the gospel and all of its opportunities, or resigning ourselves to a ‘substitute logic’. https://t.co/LmN16RiotI pic.twitter.com/2LbcWq7avp— Thinking Faith (@ThinkingFaith) April 23, 2020
