MGB:_I had quite a bit to say about the anti-modernists this year. Most of the ”errors” that troubled them have become main stream biblical and theological scholarship. My writings can be found at http://xianleft.blogspot.com/2017/12/this-year-in-modernism-from-catholic.html
Neoplatonism is a tougher nut to crack, because it is the beating heart of most Catholic sexual teaching, from sacred continence to birth control. It is reinforced by a clergy that attracts people who have what used to be called an attachment disorder and is now called the Asexual Orientation. I have no problem with their participation in the priesthood, but their project to take what is natural for them and to make it natural for the rest of us must be ended, starting with Sacred Continence for gay and straight priests. http://xianleft.blogspot.com/2017/08/is-clergy-objectively-disordered.html
There is much work to be done on Theology, from redefining Original Sin from a mythical act of disobedience to the real tendancy of humans to judge and blame others (The Knowledge of Good and Evil) and to shifting salvation from bloody vengence to a divine vision quest. Of course, the answer is not just with academic theologians. Anyone can seek the truth. http://xianleft.blogspot.com/2017/04/my-god-my-god-why-have-you-abandoned-me.html
