Mary Depuglio, after 5 years as an active duty officer in Air Force intelligence received a theology master's degree from the Augustine Institute in Denver, Colorado. Mary brings that background to her reaction to a Pentecost sermon of St John Henry Newman, "The Christian Ministry". Mary sees that Newman helps us understand that our own three-fold identity of priest, prophet and king is found in Christ and his ministers. Newman shows how God's creation and His Church are organically integrated explaining that when something foundational fails (for example, apostolic succession ) - the entire set of beliefs unravel. Newman helps us see that ignoring just one of the tenets of the faith leads to relativism. In this discussion Mary will offer that "an integrated life leads to a standard outside of personal relativism where shared, fundamental values are maintained".
To approach Newman's majestic thought it is highly recommended to download the formatted sermon at www.newmanontap.com. Comments and suggestions are appreciated on the same site.
