My thanks to 'interculturaleyes' for the wonderful comment. It is a comfort to read those thoughts about the shared struggle to judge in our imperfect world.
My gentle and wise Jesuit friend cautioned that we are forced to make judgments. Fr. Ed believes that it is the HOW that is most important---what foundation leads us to decide what is true and safe.
True and safe.
Maybe little else matters.
The HOW of the process (the source of the belief that gives permission to judge) is part of the struggle.
We have a need and a duty to judge. Bad people exist. Child molesters prey on the innocent. Corrupt people destroy. Lying lives as a way of communicating.
True and safe.
"Interculturaleyes" words helped form my own thoughts about suspending cultural authenticity in order to open ourselves to new learning...to find the true and safe in all authentic places.
