The Danger of Devotion to Truth
Any
truth elevated to a status above its purpose is, by definition,
self-destructive and divisive. Truths will always serve us, but they can
only take us so far and they are never arbitrary. Those truths we
accept are those we accept precisely because they are most efficient at
expressing the love that brings the Divine into presence with us.
Otherwise, we are left with simple ideas which lack any power to move
us. Our beliefs are permitted to change. It is the purpose and standard
of our beliefs that must remain constant and to which we owe
allegiance. It is not devotion to evil, but devotion to truth that has
been present at every slipping of the Church.
