“There is a kind of mind that flips this around, and wants the heart to be established by food—wants to be in with God by means of what is put into the mouth” (Food Catholic, p. 27).

Theology That Bites Back
I wonder how often this food unCatholicism stems from a legitimate desire to bring every facet of our lives under submission to God. Maybe in the process of trying to figure out how to glorify God with one’s eating, bad hermeneutics, the flesh, or any other number of things muck up growth in this area and we end up with divisiveness about foods and eating.
Thanks for writing about this. It’s something that’s been on my heart (and stomach) for a while now. the discussion has been enriching.
