Theology informs our politics

I signed up for a daily faith reflection by Richard Rohr some time ago. It’s one of the best things I read each morning.

A recent email reflection included this statement:

“Good theology makes for good politics and positive social relationships. Bad theology makes for stingy politics, a largely reward/punishment frame, xenophobia, and highly controlled relationships.”

So true — every word of it.

The next obvious question though is how does one know good and bad theology? Excellent question.
