Bishop Robinson and the redemption of Eros

Bishop Robinson and the redemption of Eros by Eugene Collin Kennedy.  My response: Eros is healthy, however the issue goes beyond just eros to the whole relationship between man and God and how we essentially understand God.  The doctrine of a natural order that must be upheld is actually a sophistry to create a standard of perfection that God must uphold in his justice while not having violation of that order diminish God himself.  There is no such order outside of human experience, which is the Bishop's ultimate point.  A perfect God is not damaged by violations of moral principles, we are or aren't.  If we are not, then the moral principle is up for grabs.
