Star of wonder: thoughts on the feast of the Epiphany

Star of wonder: thoughts on the feast of the Epiphany: Distinctly Catholic: The feast of the Epiphany's challenge: Can Christians ever set aside our denominational and theological perspectives without distorting not only our theology, but misunderstanding nature itself?

MGB:_Modern astrologers can actually duplicate the work of the Magi in casting the horoscope of the newborn king of the Jews.  (His birthday is actually April 17, 6 BCE).  There was no ”star” although there may have been an eclipse of the sun.

In the same way, natural law is the province of any who attempt it.  There is no license requred.  Anything more stringent is simply authoritarianism, thereby abandoning the primacy of reason.  The pope is not always right.  Truth is.  More scientific views biology and fewer pre-determied conclusions (like the bigoted statement that women are not worhty vesels for ordination) must become the order of the day. Jesus would not endorse such garbage. You can be different and equal he created us.  This would be a real Epiphany.
