Pensees Catholiques

Perhaps the most fundamental barrier to faith is that every scheme of meaning is seen as a construction, i.e. that reality in itself is meaningless. One constructs a meaning and lives within it to make life more workable and bearable. This current view though is based on the assumption that reality in itself has no meaning.In contrast, the claim here is that reality is not meaningless in itself, and that Christianity and Catholicism in particular, and other schemes of meaning to the extent they agree with these two, are not constructions but are true in reality. Reality has meaning, and that meaning is revealed and accessible to us..
