Faith vs. Ideology | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: When it was first spoken, the Kingdom of God was ideological in the way we know it now, as well as transcendant. It can be both and so can Francis. This is what scares both the Trads and the Conservatives. The tone, of course, comes because they are finally feeling a much needed consciousness of guilt, even if it is below the surface. The Hound of Heaven is after them and they are not surrendering quietly.
Bringing Christ to the revolution, as I do, is not only good PR, but it forms a better understanding for all whose side Jesus is on - and its not the side of exploitation. Revolution is hard work, and the Bread of Life is needed to make an impossible journey possible - and indeed make its success inevitable. The Gospel is a bold statement. It would have helped the movement then and will now, even a movement now essentially led in the US by a Jewish atheist from Vermont.
