" Venturing into Catholicism, I began to understand what is most unique about Christianity, most essential, is its strangeness. Its improbably, radical story that confounds the mind and refuses to contract into mere metaphor. The wild mystery of the Incarnation, the holy paradox that rushes past the furthest ends of reason and cuts through the polarities that structure and divide our world. It is not enough to say "be just"; it is not enough to say "love" - not when love and justice are uprooted from the narrative that explains WHY we must love, a narrative that makes the startling claim that every human being burns bright with the spark of God...
The Incarnation - ah, a mystery I could never quit. Or perhaps it's the other way around; The Incarnation never let go of me...And now, through Catholicism, the Incarnation came alive again, was made flesh again, mere symbol no more - how, after all, could incarnation ever be just a disembodied symbol? It is Catholicism, I realized, more than any other form of Christianity, that fully celebrates this mystery that is the heart of the faith. "
