Catholish

How the Catholic Bishops conference would write about making a peanut butter sandwich:

The hungry entity which creates the sandwich must never be instrumentalized as an eater. He or she is an autonomous and relational subject open to the Transcendent. The vertical section of bread constitutes the space of dialogue where the peanut butter must be able to express its pluralist and multifaceted cultural identity. On the other hand, as the Vatican II Council teaches in "Gaudium et Spes", no ingredient must be favored over another. The peanut butter and the honey must maintain their distinct identities, while mutually enriching each other with their values, in a climate of cooperation, solidarity and fraternal dialogue.
