Teilhard is a good example of how any orthodoxy grounded in the orderly space of Normland or Systemland will perceive ideas from Visionland:
A decree of the Holy Office dated 30 June 1962, under the authority of Pope John XXIII, warned: “[I]t is obvious that in philosophical and theological matters, the said works [Teilhard’s] are replete with ambiguities or rather with serious errors which offend Catholic doctrine. That is why... the Rev. Fathers of the Holy Office urge all Ordinaries, Superiors, and Rectors... to effectively protect, especially the minds of the young, against the dangers of the works of Fr. Teilhard de Chardin and his followers.” [15]
From the perspective of religious orthodoxy and scientific rationalism alike, this space is dangerous territory (and rightly so). But if some form of a “mystic tradition” isn’t entertained in at least small doses the order of things will eventually become tyrannical and brittle.
