All things are God and the sage sees the Divine Face in each thing — howbeit according to very different relationships — or, more exactly, he sees the Divine Face "through" each thing.

This precision is imperative in order that no one be tempted to see pantheism in a conception that is as from it as possible. The pantheistic error arises from the incapacity to see God in the appearances, whence the confusion — atheistic at the same time as being idolatrous — between the world and God; which is to say that pantheism consists in nothing other than the error of admitting an identity that is material and not essential between the Principle and manifestation.

The crisis in which the world finds itself is due to the replacement of traditional values and truths with “humanistic” principles, and the precepts of “Faith, Hope, and Charity” with the pseudo-ideals of “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity” which in the practical order mean: a liberty from the restrictions God has placed on mankind; an equality of the profane with the sacred; and the brotherhood of all men in their opposition to traditional values.

For him, it is not religion, but these distortions of reality along with the superstitions of “progress” and “evolution” that are the “opiates of the people,” giving man a false “faith” in humanity, and holding out to him the false “hope” of an earthly millennium in which society will be so organized as to remove from mankind the very need to be good. Within such a worldview “charity” is profaned to the level of “helping mankind” along its pilgrim road to this false utopia.

Hegel praises a lot of his Christian predecessors so I just skipped Hegel and went straight to Ekhart and Bohme.

>jesus is not good
“He committed no sin and no deceit was found in His mouth.” 1 Peter 2:22

"You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin." 1 John 3:5

I didn't find Balthsar or Barth very useful at all.

I found Nicolas Berdyaev and Philip Sherrard and John Romanides and Valentin Tomberg and Seraphim Rose and Frithjof Schuon much more useful and readable and enlightening. But there's no such thing as "greatest modern" theologian, there's just good and not so good.... the greatest were the medievals and early theologians closest to the apostles.
