The God We Create

The God We Create is the God that we desire The God who is Is the God who creates us Yet even that latter God Is not free from us For our imagination gives the language and the opportunity For God to be.

Without us God cannot be Though God is always More than I am or ever able to be.

All human beings together create God and Gods Who are more than we are or ever able to be.

So poetic wisdom’s task is To provide words, images and ideas Wherein our Gods may dwell And God will be What God will be.

On April 20th 2007 he authorised publication by the RC Church’s International Theological Commission of a 41-page document entitled ‘The Hope of Salvation for Infants Who Die Without Being Baptised’. It recognised that ‘people find it increasingly difficult to accept that God is merciful if he excludes infants, who have no personal sin, from eternal happiness, whether they are Christian or non-Christian’. So, in the words of the former Cardinal Ratzinger, ‘Limbo should be abandoned because it is only a hypothesis, not a defined truth of faith’.
