There is lots of talk about how everything in the world is 'interconnected.' As with so many things, there is a good and true connectivity and also an evil and deceptive connectivity. Through His One Holy Catholic Church, God does establish a universal connectivity, which goes even beyond this world. His connections are ordered, based upon grace, and are imminently vertical. The Church's one Faith, one Priesthood, and Sacraments establish and maintain this connection. The devil's interconnections are horizontal, based on earthly things (e.g. environmentalism, animism, false brotherhood). God's is like a ladder; the devil's is like a spider’s web. The evil one connects us, willy nilly, with our fallen nature due to the connectivity of original sin. It ends in a permanent prison where the torturers never cease since the debts can never be paid. Let’s be sure, then, to connect using the vertical and climb the ladder rather than get caught in the web of the devil.
