An Answer to the Lust for the Divine

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 8-14, systematically applies theological principles: it shows how the Church's interpretative framework has shifted from a fixed order of creation to a diversity of creation - theologically, biblically and critically in terms of power. Paul is read as a liberator from normative categories ('grace before law'), and pastoral consequences are drawn from this. The church's conflict with lust is analysed in detail - from the history of hostility towards lust to today's double standards and ways out of fear. At the same time, the question is asked how premarital sex can be interpreted as a possible place of grace and 'sacred intimacy' - with the striking thesis: It is not marriage that sanctifies sexuality, but lived sexuality can also sanctify marriage, because grace cannot be monopolised. The natural law argument ('natural order') is questioned in relation to the Bible, biology and experience, and instead of communion barriers, an invitation to the Eucharist should be extended.
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."
