On this Pentecost, let us reflect upon two 'apostles' who were both filled with a spirit, albeit a different one.

On the other hand, the Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin, who preached a "Cosmic Christ" that is constantly evolving. His works were ambiguous and condemned, yet many modern prelates consider him the greatest theologian of the 20th century. Understanding his thought, and the spirit that imbued him, helps one to understand the current grave crisis.
