0:00.0	In a fine article, my friend, Father Khalid Anatolios, often an approach to theology with which I am in full accord, he wrote, quotes, theology from the perspective of the new evangelization, and I think in many ways all theology should be from the perspective of the new evangelization,
0:21.6	is ordered discourse on the newness of Christ and the renewal of all things in Christ.
0:29.6	It's that perspective which will govern this presentation, and in a way it might be said to be a reading of the sumer from the
0:38.9	vantage point of the Positatia.
0:42.8	So I will proceed in five steps which are on the outline, some indication of the status
0:47.8	questionists regarding the theme of salvation, some concerns about the state of Catholic
0:53.4	life and theology today, the Christologic of the

1:54.5	But since I'm convinced, in company with von Balthazar and Pope Emeritus Benedict and Pope Francis of the importance of the aesthetic
2:02.6	and the affective of the via procrutinus in theology and pastoral ministry,
2:09.6	I'd call attention to the two images which are on the back of the outline.
2:15.6	The first is the great stone carving of the risen ascending Jesus Christ,
2:23.2	bestowing the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, that crowns the door leading into the basilica
2:29.2	of St. Mary Magdalene in Veslaix, an image which I saw when I was 19 years old and has continued
2:37.6	to inspire me many years later.
