Syncretistic Catholicism where any Anglican, Episcopal, Roman & Orthodox

consensus informs core beliefs & divergences are received as valid theological
opinions

Neochalcedonism doesn’t magically resolve oppositions in the register of
ousia (what we are), logically & abstractly. Rather, it grammatically explores
the unitive dynamics of embodied antinomies (BOTH who we are AND can
become to each other), personally & concretely.

It employs an antinomial framework that harmonizes – not counterposed

logical genera, but – actual relationships, which are already there in potency,
between infinite & finite persons.

So, we aren’t appealing to some principle of hypostasis to dissolve essential

antinomies. Rather, we are turning to the Trinitarian processions & missions
to understand both the pneumatological mediating starting place of our
original divine intentions & consciousness and the Christologically mediated
outcomes of our final divine knowledge & loves.

In the register of – not whatness, but – whoness, then, if humanity is

naturally ecstatic & is already divine, that’s b/c our unrestricted desire (our
primordial desire to know) has, itself, first been gifted by the Holy Spirit
through Her universal presence.
Lonergan’s epistemology distinguishes mediating from mediated theology &
his Pneumatology reverses the Trinitarian missions.

To dig deeper, do see: Heejung Adele Cho, Karl Rahner and Bernard Lonergan
in Relation to the Attitude of Inclusivity within the Roman Catholic Church
(2011)

As to theological fixations on antinomies of whatness, such explanatory

ambitions should be suitably chastened:

“So, as Scotus notes, God is no more ineffable than anything else, as literally
everything’s ineffable!“
