COGITANDO SIC, method of evolution — Part Two

The METHOD OF EVOLUTION, of "working what's been thought-through, and thinking through again what's been worked through" [cogitata perficiendo, cogitando sic perfecta] has been proposed in the earlier strand "cogitando sic, method of evolution".

To carry the above rationale of evolution one step further, I propose the method of accommodation (REFLECTIVE SYMBIOSIS), that is, the purposeful method of the application of the "analogies of reciprocals" principle.

Catholics helped pass U.N. vote favoring global death penalty ban; Notes about: Episcopalians, Kolvenbach and Vatican PR

 All Things Catholic by John L. Allen, Jr.
  Friday, December 21, 2007 - Vol. 7, No. 16  

It would probably be pushing things a bit far to suggest that Tuesday's vote in the General Assembly of the United Nations in favor of a global moratorium on the death penalty is a victory for the Catholic church. It is, however, a result difficult to imagine without the Catholic contribution.

What I read here

Is this a theology class or is it supposed to be a cafe? I think a lot of people are turning this into a vehicle for clarifying their own theology or imposing their theology on others. Fr Hays hits the same point 'eclesial prayers are too Zombie like' [not the exact words] The word 'cafe' to me presents the concept of 'normal' people and what I read here isn't.
