J P Grayland

In this article, J P Grayland looks at the recent “war of words” between the U.S. President, Vice President, and Pope Leo XIV.

“Understanding the recent conflict within a broader setting helps Christians avoid resorting to popularist responses or adopting oversimplified theological commentary.”

He goes on to raise questions about the implications for Christian Theology and pastoral life of John Henry Newman’s position that doctrine or established Church teaching does develop.

    Thanks, Brian. This was an interesting read. It can be too easy to interpret scripture and other sources to suit our own thinking. Reality is seldom so simple and we need to be thinking clearly with as much information as possible.

    It sounds like eisogesis is too easy a trap to fall into. Without doubt, we bring our lives to Scripture, but we must let Scripture challenge us, not enlist it for personal gain. Christian nationalism is what in a way developed in Nazi Germany. It’s a way of totally violating what Scripture is about.
