About the diagram: If you look closely enough at any family, you will observe disagreements among the members. Triumvirates are stable to the extent that the other two members team up to rein in any member who gets out of control or support any member who is struggling. In the Trinity, I see the Father as seeking strength through concentrating money and power. I see the Son as seeking strength through dispersing money and power, to gain friends. I see the Mother/Spirit as acting to preserve the system as a whole. I identify the coalition of Father and Son with Christ the King, the coalition of Father and Mother trivially with The Parents, and the coalition of Mother and Son with the spirit of St. Francis. Culture wars traditionally pit the left, or stoic, side of the diagram, against the right side, which favors living fully. The top favors people. The bottom favors wildlife and stability of the ecology.
Reunion is a series of letters to His Excellency, Edward Scharfenberger, Bishop of Albany, NY, USA, and His Eminence, Cardinal Pierre, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States. The letters began with suggestions to bring the message of His Holiness, Pope Francis, on respecting poor people and nonhuman life to local media in Albany. They grew to include a reconsideration of the Gospels that enabled the writer, an apostate trained in science and education, to find interpretations of the story of Jesus that he could understand. A final letter, presenting the work to His Holiness as the author's synodal contribution, serves as the introduction.
