Ahhhhhhh bisto adverts et al - !!

At the risk of walking on to the stage of history dressed in little more than a waterloo jacket, or worse a jacket from the Battle of Blenheim in the reign of Queen Anne, circa 1707, one is reminded in these halcyon days celebrating the magic and wonder of D-Day and the chicago invention that won the War, the Higgins Landing Craft, that it seems to me so much church discourse is a farrago of rubbish and trash compared to what should be going on - we talk too much about church and not enough about the rise of the soul to God. Where are the sermons about God as God; where are the homilettes about the angels; where are the anecdotes about ghosts where the British native mind is sensitive to the supernatural; where are the discourses about spirations of the Trinity; were are the addresses about the journey of God into the mind of a soul - where in sum is theology? Vacancies for Dustin Hoffman do exist and we are not talking about Mrs Doubtfire either. Hoffman in the last scenes of the Luc Besson movie Joan of Arc or what we would call Joanne of Acre. Anyway there is too much talk about talk, too much theology about theology and nobody in Britain has yet still responded to the call of Cardinal Ratzinger at Cambridge in 1987 to propose a theology of the human mind that explains the Holocausts of Auschwitz or Belsen or Dachau finally. Loads of philosophy of mind - but how many of the learned philosophers of mind of London Uni have gotten into the mind of Adolf???
