My personal rending of spirituality is in stark contrast with what our authors will develop as Christian Spirituality. I would compliment Catholicism with a big dose of spirituality as our authors clearly intend to do, however I am more inclined to discuss spirituality as a point of departure when discussing religion. In our society today, spirituality plays the essential role in popular mysticism. I will credit these spiritual people with experiences, visions and aspirations as they develop in their growth as individuals and broadcast their ideas into what they would consider building a better society. The spirituality aspect allows this goodness without the constraints of traditional religions with their creeds, absolute values, faithfulness and obedience. The \u201cspiritualist\u201d can be much grounded in their beliefs and convictions while enjoying the open \u201cendedness\u201d of our infinite universe. For them, just as the scientific truths are forever changed with each scientific breakthrough, their spirituality is deepen with each epiphany, whether through study and contemplation of a particular discipline or serendipity. However, having said all this, it\u2019s time to turn our attention to \u201cChristian Spirituality\u201d, where this \u201ccore\u201d is Christ centric, deeply Apostolic and rooted in Universal Christianity which has developed through the ages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
