Just in case you missed them, “On the Square” today offers another double feature: Father Edward Oakes’ E.T., Phone Here and Archbishop Charles Chaput’s Fire on the Earth . Father Oakes begins with Fermi’s Paradox about the possibility of life on other planets and moves from there into a reflection of the nature of our life on this one. Abp Chaput begins with Bonhoeffer’s insight into Christianity today and moves into a reflection on how “the three key acts of Scripture’s story” — creation, fall, and redemption— “make up and they embody God’s plan for each of us.”
