Thoughts on Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 1.2M

[Before going back to text, I want to note that I have adopted a format of “summary of text [comment] page number”.   The text is very dense.  Some paragraphs are like scrolls that unroll the moment that you set eyes on them.

Here is the fine print:

The date corresponds to the year the imprimatur was given for orginal Dutch version by J. Terpstra S.J., Praep. Prov. Neerl.

The page numbers are from the 1965 edition of Man and Sin: A Theological View, published by Notre Dame Press.

Imprimatur for English translation was given in 1965 by Timothy A. Jurtin S.J., Vice Provincial, New York.]

Thoughts on Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 1.2L

[Why can’t thinkgroup recognize the natural consequences of the transgressions that it contextualizes?

Why can’t thinkgroup resist the wants and needs that fuel the transgressions?

In short, why is thinkgroup blind to lawessential and unaware of their facilitation of unruly dispositions?

I am not sure.  It may have something to do with the exclusivity of symbolic orders. Each thinkgroup lives in its own bubble.

In contrast, lawessential is, what it is, irrespective of thinkgroup and consciencelacking.]
