Thomas
Jefferson
had encountered great difficulty in the establishment of the "first"
University in American that was not church and/or religiously sponsored
or related. He obviously had the properly conceived notion that, where
religions and their consistently and doggedly insistence that the truth
lies only within those narrowly defined tenants of its own faith, it
would be almost impossible to achieve a true atmosphere of academic
freedom and thought as well as the scientific establishment of new
discoveries. That more than noble effort of Thomas Jefferson, resulting
in the founding of the University of Virginia, was the quintessential
essence of that ideal socio-political circumstance where there would
exist a distinct separation of the church and its mostly conservative
ideologies from that of a modern civil state that should rightly foster
individual achievement and growth over which there should be NO moral
authority. Only in that ideal of circumstances would it be at all
possible to actually have what is aptly called freedom of religion
wherein every single individual remains equally free to pursue the truth
according to his own beliefs and personals needs. As a great man of
letters, I am very confident that Thomas Jefferson, in the light of
modern day knowledge and scientific realities, would be amusingly
appalled at the present state of affairs where so many individuals still
so blindly hold fast to these embellished religious mythologies that
have been so totally challenged and dispelled by modern discoveries and
science dramatically beginning with those far-reaching theories of
Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) and that were so dramatically confirmed
by Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) with his masterful and most timely
invention and use of the telescope. For Galileo's courageous
contribution to the knowledge of his day that we were NOT the center of
the universe and therefore most likely not the singular focus of
creation, he was hastily placed under 'house arrest' by the head of the
Catholic Church, and that atrocious and malign decree was only lifted in
the last decade of the Twentieth Century, some three hundred and fifty
years after his death. Reality has not changed in its essence from the
very first time that man began to explore his ever-expanding universe;
the difficulty lies with man's ability or inability to successfully and
realistically integrate his antiquated mythologies with the hard
sciences of our modern times. The beginning of any age of mankind is
appropriately marked not with just the simple discovery of some
undiscovered reality that had always existed, but most appropriately
when the tangible fruits of that revelation or discovery have actually
entered the mainstream of mankind's day-to-day world. From our own
Western culture perspective, the singular event that might well mark the
beginning of this great Age of Reality could possibly be focused on Pope
John Paul II, when on October 31, 1992, the Vatican 'revisited' its
initial indictment of Galileo's confirmation of Copernicus' take on our
universe's heavenly bodies and their actual relationship to earth.
Mankind and his innate noble spirit, has for too long, been held totally
captive of these archaic and notoriously oppressive religions and their
often-time radical leaders who too frequently subjugate that very loving
nature that every individual man and woman should be equally and
universally heir to. We are so very fortunate to be living in an age of
such magnanimous discovery. In most every instance mankind continues to
challenge the spiritual impact of these modern discoveries and in too
few cases might even be able to successfully dispel many of those
conservatively held points of view. There is in reality nothing new
under our own life-giving sun; mankind has only to accept and broaden
his fundamental knowledge of what is already most evident in nature.
Mankind is most fortuitously finally leaving behind the very infancy of
his political, social, psychological and spiritual development and with
this ever-immerging social and spiritual maturity mankind is fastly
entering this most progressive Age of Reality. And, above all, mankind
is seemingly achieving much of this newly discovered maturity most
notably with or without the blessings of many of our world religions.
These multitude of spiritually oppressive churches, temples, and mosques
need not be totally dismissed or even left behind in the dust of
discovery; they should, however, all come clean about the ghastly
multitude of their mostly bogus and certainly mythological claims. Then
and only then, these now spiritually irrelevant mythologies have the
greatest of obligations to become more spiritually relevant to the real
needs of their congregations. I would suppose that this metamorphose
could be easily achieved by simply redefining their various spiritual
and social roles to reflect an ideology that truly and sincerely fosters
the love and acceptance of all mankind as well as the infinitely
magnanimous beauty of this naturally occurring diversity of mankind that
has been manifested in this wonderful Garden of Eden. This great
diversity also carries with it the reality that not all individuals will
posses either the desire or ability to recognize and/or even accept the
fundamental precepts of this wonderfully freeing age; they are equally
free to experience their own life's joy in any manner they see fit.
Mankind for too many reasons has remained in the infancy of his deeper
spirituality and it only the purveyors of these now archaic mythologies
that have profited far beyond any reasonable or authentic concern for
these often blindly led followers’ spiritual wellbeing. It is
reasonable for the infant to believe in a Santa Clause, BUT to continue
these fabled beliefs into the mature adulthood is a grave travesty that
only feeds the despots of these infantile mythologies despite all the
social order and good behavior that many of these old religions and
mythologies are totally and rightfully given full credit for fostering.
So, you tell me; what should these now outdated and benign religions be
doing to correct their misgivings. Bishop John Shelby Spong wrote a
book entitled, Why Christianity Must Change Or Die that only
scratched the surface of the problems with America’s number one religion
that claims the same God as is depicted as part of our country’s
heritage as reflected in the expression, “One nation under God.” I am
appalled that we as free Americans still hold to this now failed
expression as we have the most horrid statistical records when it comes
to human failure as in broken homes, alcoholism, every crime under the
sun, drug dependency and those countless numbers of what is presently
called “street people” or “the homeless.” Jesus, as the greatest
humanitarian that ever lived on this planet spent most of his adult life
seeking the answer for mankind’s pour plight and then sharing it with
those who cared enough to try and did so until the troubled time of
Constantine the Great. Elaine Pagels explains the problem in the first
chapter of her best seller book, Beyond Belief. The title of
this first chapter truly sez it all, From the Feast of Agapé to
Constantine. The operative words here are “Feast of Agapé”
as this was the real action required in order to respect and reflect the
one and only commandment of Jesus to “Love your neighbor as I have loved
you.” You see, Constantine had absolutely no need of this singular
power of love, but instead Constantine demanded “Absolute Obedience” of
those slaves that constituted 90% of the population over which he
ruled. That is precisely why the Nicaean Creed is so totally devoid of
even the very mention of Love, which was the one and only commandment of
Jesus of Nazareth that should learn to “Love” our neighbors. You tell me, where in
the hell did Constantine ever show any love for his slaves or those
countless hordes of enemies tha were ruthlessly murdered under his
military command. Constantine was, to the contrary the very epitome of the
antichrist and yet he is hailed as the founder of the Faith. It is no
wonder that Christianity has followed in the footsteps of its founder
and showed no love for the countless neighbors put to death and its
auspices of serving the one and only God. This death wielding God has
no place in my universe and that includes the mythological Jesus created
by this devil worshiper, Constantine the Great. The reality is
simple; Constantine created Christianity to meet his own carnal needs
and it was his Spiritual Mafioso, those bishops that met at Nicaea at
Constantine's demand, that created heaven and hell as a reward or
punishment to the slaves as a means of obtaining those slaves' absolute control and obedience. That is
precisely why the Catholic Church’s FIRST rule over its own parishioners is
governed by that one word "obedience" rather than Jesus of Nazareth only
commandment of "love." So, my good friends
whom I love enough to share this truth and reality with, I wish all of
you who are freed by the truth of this fundamental knowledge that I most
humbly dedicate these six modest treatises, that in each instance and in
their own unique manner affirmatively proclaim that mankind has already
embarked on that arduous journey that will eventually bring us entirely
into this truly wonderful and most freedom imbued AGE OF REALITY. |

October 31, 1992 John Paul II received in audience the Pontifical Academy of the Sciences. The Academy presents to the Holy Father the conclusions reached by the "Commission for the Study of the Ptolemaic-Copernican Controversy, which was duly instituted by John Paul II on 3 June 1981 to "provide to the world of science and culture the long-awaited response in merit to the case of Galileo Galilei." |
