The Eucharist and Mass Media

I agree with nearly every word of this essay.

Denys the Areopagite and the Doctrine of Analogy

"For Denys, the visible world, although it is infinitely less than God, in a very real way actually manifests Him and shares profoundly in His Goodness. This is because all beings are from Him, even down to the least that can be perceived by the senses. All of the particulars of every sensible creature, therefore, find their source, ultimately, in Him: 'the reality is that all things are are contained beforehand in and are embraced by the One in Its capacity as an inherent unity.' (DN980b) There is then, not only a unity - which is really a super-unity (huperenomenon)- of the Divine Names in the One, but even a unity of all beings in all their particulars in this same One. Denys is very clear on this."
