Hi! Nigel, You said it right there. Cordial. Being cordial is a trait, which helps one negotiate intearctions and relationships. It is learned and practiced. And involves choice. So what you said about RCs interacting with those from completely different faiths, but not being able to do the same with Christians, is very true. But there are many who do as is always the case.
It was interesting to hear that healing is seen as 'temptation,' but there was no clarity as to what this temptation is about. I guess what is being said is that the act/the desire to go towards the Holy of Holies -- seeking the Spirit to receive 'healing' must be seen as a temptation -- in that, that God (El Mano) speaks only through the HM the RCC. So any attempt to get to the Holy Spirit other than through the RCC is congruent with giving in to temptation. Btw, good blog.
