The Desire for God and the Transformative Power of Contemplation Constance FitzGerald, oeD ------------------........ INTRoDucnoN All around us today we see a passion to touch the roots of contem­ plation or mysticism in our history as a people, to hear a muted desire that has existed often only as a subterranean force and to bring it above ground into the public forum in order to understand its power for trans­ formation in our post-modern world.! Even if it is unrecognized and therefore uninterpreted, the desire for God is apparent everywhere in so many different forms. If we are able to reclaim this muted desire that runs through our history and make available centuries of contemplative tradition, Carmelite in this case, the dominant paradigms of this tradi­ tion may offer some guidance to our nation, North 1merica, the Western world, called as it is by history and so-called "development" to a contemplative time, challenged to mature beyond being first, beyond being the Center of the world. I often feel that only if we are prepared for transformation by contemplatiod and thereby given a new kind of consciousness and imagination will humanity and the earth, with its various eco-systems, survive. What the Carmelite contemplative tradition reveals is women and men searching for God, desiring God together.

The next wave of SRCDs is, at long last, in preparation— apologies and thanks are especially due to the long-suffering SRCD subscribers who have been patiently twiddling their thumbs waiting for me to get it back in gear. I thank you for your tolerance and kindness. While I may have earned a failing grade for my (non-)effort with Mutant Pop in 2001, the year was not a total loss.

Despite the strong opposition to liberation theology from the Vatican and conservative church officials, Romero’s life and legacy has helped keep the core ideas of the theology alive by serving as an example of a more peaceful version of liberationist thought. Because of his "martyrdom" and his subsequent iconic status throughout Latin America, the church could not simply dismiss his ideas.

  • Reponse to Essays
    RESPONSE TO THE ESSAYS JORGEN MOLTMANN A Word of Thanks: It is a great and undeserved stroke of luck when one finds companions, both crit- ical and supportive, who are willing to travel for some distance with him along his theological path. It helps to overcome the loneliness and separation pains that one suffers when he leaves behind the usual paths of tradition and forges ahead into new territory. One expects neither absolute approval nor obedient followers who merely repeat everything that one says. Rather, what one really needs are compan- ions who, from their own presuppositions break out in the same direction and get fresh impetus for their own ideas. I have found this in great measure in this book edited by Bob Cornelison. The essays fill me with deep gratitude. As the ancient Latin saying goes, books "have their own destiny." What the author thinks and how well he expresses his ideas is one thing; what the readers make of the book in their own minds, how they understand the book and what they ultimately do with it is another thing entirely. Therefore, the impact of a book resides in the reader, and seldom, if ever, wholly in the intentions of the author. It is both exciting; yet stressful for an author to recognize the history of the impact of his thought in the echo and exchange of opinion of his readers. The author is always merely an actor in the drama and the history that books create. If his books are pub- lished, they go their own way and cannot and must not be controlled by the author.

MALIK TAHAR CHAOUCH Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo Resumen Este artículo analiza la relación privilegiada que hubo entre sectores jesuitas y la teología de la liberación en América Latina. Su hipótesis central es que esa afinidad no fue casual. Existió una convergencia entre las ambivalencias de la orden religiosa y las de la teología de la liberación en torno a la construcción de un tipo de religioso e intelectual. Los je- suitas aparecen a la vez como agentes del poder romano y contrapoder, vanguardia de la evangelización y críticos de la institución, así como herederos de una sólida tradición y actores del mundo actual. La teo- logía de la liberación proclamó una ruptura eclesial, ideológica y socio- política cuyos alcances fueron finalmente limitados. El texto da cuenta primero de la presencia numérica y del papel central de los jesuitas en la teología de la liberación.

He landed it on his second attempt. After he landed a straight air over it, he tried it 3 more times, landing backside 360’s over it. Can you believe the ADVERTISE guy 360’d the Great Wall of China? That’s fucking insane. Sure, to jump that 61 ft gap is huge, but imagine spinning WITH US 360’s over it. Also today, Tony Hawk is gearing up for another stop on his extreme sports whoring arena tour, Boom Boom Huck Jam.

  • MUTANT POP Big Catalog
    It’s the incredible free! MutantMutant PopPop Y Mailorder Catalog Hi again! Don’t forget to bookmark the web page: http://members.aol.com/mutantpop/index.html This month’s dose of joy is MP-30 VARIOUS ARTISTS “No Band Photo, Vol.1.” Yes, you read that right, no leather jacket boys on the sleeve, just a cool cartoon by Jeff Wilson, author of Sap. It looks swell and you get four little band photos inside along with my typical yeoman’s output of typos, so dry your little traditionalist eyes. Four bands for five bucks on two slabs of wonderful blue wax. THE FRATELLI’S are on side F, this is their first release ever. They’re four guys from Michigan and they deliver two uptempo, peppy, happy sounding cuts. “Nobody Likes Me Again” is the hit, an anthem for unpopular kids everywhere. THE FRATELLI’S fit into the puzzle next to bands like CARTER PEACE MISSION and THE KLOPECS, combining buzzing guitars and a warm, fuzzy ambiance with enough guitar grit to slide into the pages of Maximum Rocknroll. An excellent pop-punk band, I hope this is just the first of a series of FRATELLI’S stuff. Backing side F is side S. The big S stands for SPODIE and you certainly must know them by now. Their self-released “Pop Punk-a-Go Go” EP blows the doors off, their new split EP with PINCUSHION adds to their growing legacy. SPODIE is definitely the hardest of the four bands involved in this project, chas- ing it with two true-to-life relationship songs.
