What happens when theology takes lust seriously - not as a danger, but as a source of love, dignity and faith? Lust am Göttlichen (Lust for the Divine) accompanies readers through three times seven days of Christological and sensitive theology and its practical consequences for the church - from a new reading of the Bible to culture and liturgy to exciting topics of discussion such as the ordination of women, marriage for all before the altar and freedom of conscience. The series bridges the gap between official doctrine and lived reality and advocates for a sexual ethic that remains faithful to the Gospel and respects the reality of life: human-centred, lust-friendly and life-affirming.
The first part lays the foundations for a lust for the divine; the following parts show how the frame of 'creation order' shifts to creation diversity and what consequences this has for sacraments, language, pastoral care and canon law. The book invites an objective, clear and effective dialogue - with respect for tradition and clear words for a church that understands diversity as a gift and respects incarnation physically.
This volume, covering days 15-21, deals with the 'red flags': How do theologically based prohibitions differ from administrative and political ones, and who examines the Church's refusals - for example, for marriage for all - to see whether they are in line with the Gospel? The dwindling interpretive authority of the office over salvation (pluralisation, digitalisation, loss of trust) also points to an increasingly polycentric interpretation. Institutional and personal double standards in the clergy must be addressed through reform. This calls into question the office-based exclusivity of sacramental mediation. The ordination of women is to be understood as the healing of a human rights violation - with the resulting theological, canonical, pastoral-psychological and liturgical mission.

Eureka Circe is the editor and curator of various book series on theology (such as 'House of Theological Courage' or 'Deus Ex Machina' and 'I, Circe') and on naturopathy. She has also published volumes on women's politics, including 'MAIDEN'S MANIFESTO - The Female Flame: Female Popes of Theology on the Holy Roman Chair', 'Alice and the Wonderyes - Where and Why Feminism Fails in the Catholic Church' and 'Dignitas Omnium - The Dignity of All'. Her thesis: "Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a profound turning point because it fundamentally changes the relationship between humans, knowledge and access to the world - not only technically, but also culturally, epistemologically and socially. It opens up a new access to knowledge and leads to its multiplication and democratisation: AI systems make information readily available - often without the need for traditional reading or in-depth prior knowledge. This fundamentally changes how we think, learn and understand, while at the same time promoting a new form of individualisation of thought - which can also be exemplified in spiritual belief. What's more, machines now generate meaning - texts, images, arguments - where previously only human expertise was required. This has long-term consequences for education, science, politics and religion."
