The SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST dictum has dogma-status. Politically, the fitness dogma predicates the future belongs to the powerful; through history, religions engaged top-down power politics. Today, we see the unprecedented politicizing of the ‘fitness survival dogma’, which presumes political power, that political power supposes wealth-control – money, and, that the fittest, the richest, survive.
Ecologically, survival and the power dogma are challenged. Political power is ruthlessly acquired in exploitation of nature, and the vitality of ecological nature is being irreversibly trashed; which calls for rethinking the so-called 'fitness dogma'.
The Lectionary of Life and Religion is one and the same – more ecological than biblical - which truth puts religion and politics on the same page. CHURCHES UNITED, in solidarity with ecology IN THE TIMES is a necessary precondition if fitness of nature is to be secured and corrupted politics are to be kept in check. Let’s get with Pope Francis!!
