Mary versus Secularism (BONUS: Metaphysics of the Middle) – KBGF 14
Views 486
With Dr. J. Isaac Goff, we continue to read through chapter four of The Theologian of Auschwitz by Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner, this time looking at the Purpose, Conditions, and Means of St. Maximilian Kolbe's Militia of the Immaculate. We then look at the integration of the intellect and will as essential for an integral Christian life, and workable only by the action of the Holy Spirit working in those who are, like Jesus, both Children of God and Children of Mary. We even get to see some unpublished writings of Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner on the charismatic life.
