New Wine: A Journal of Thought & Dialogue

"We are a sacramental people. The more down-to-earth we are, planting our feet squarely on the ground, the less we fly off in flights of fancy and the closer we are to reality and therefore to God. We are an incarnational people, and we believe we find Christ in every crevice of the human condition. Since the incarnation, and especially since the resurrection, Christ is at the center of the universe and part of every human action. Listen to these words of Karl Rahner, who puts them in the mouth of Christ: “I am the blind alleys of all your paths, for when you no longer know how to go any further, then you have reached me, foolish child, though you are not aware to it.”

• At the heart of it, I thought of the Great Society as an extension of the Bill of Rights. When our fundamental American rights were set forth by the Founding Fathers, they reflected the concerns of a people who sought freedom in their time. But in our time a broadened concept of freedom requires that every American have the right to a healthy body, a full education, a decent home, and the opportunity to develop to the best of his talents.

  A trip to the Moon (aka Le Voyage dans la Lune, Voyage to the Moon) is one of the best known and loved shorts ever made. Shot in 1902 by one of the best filmmakers in history, Georges Méliès, the short tells the tale of astronomers who decide to visit the Moon. Originally shot in black and white technology and hand coloured version, A trip to the Moon is one of the first science fiction films ever filmed. Since it was filmed, A trip to the Moon’s scene of Man of Moon being shot in the eye is one of the probably best known scenes in the history of cinema.
