Eric and Benedict

The Pope, getting down with Eric Voegelin:

"As I survey all the perplexing shifts in the spiritual landscape of today, only these two basic models seem to me to be up for discussion. The first I should like to call the Gnostic model, the other the Christian model. I see the common core of Gnosticism, in all its different forms and versions, as the repudiation of creation."

—Joseph Ratzinger, “The Consequences of the Faith in Creation” (1979)
