Author Jean Ovide Bourdeau proposes that the 'Brave New World' has already begun; that its terminal objective is visible to those of us willing to open their eyes; and that it is on target. He further confronts the obvious intellectual syndrome of terror resulting from our mean-spirited attitude toward change generally. A fear, he tells us, transmogrifies itself into series of local genocides and wars that ultimately coalesce into planetary ones. A most evident situation demonstrated in what this author calls our 'Ethical Disease Of Self-righteousness'. A notion witnessed in callous and cowardly acts carried out by means of a 'social sacrament' of 'Absolute Obedience' to political programs meant to control those who dare disagree either with our 'Immaculate Perception' or that of the 'Special One' and 'Special Group' managing a society.
Although highlighted by a premeditated murder this is nevertheless the story of a people living a life without expectations during the Thirties, Forties and Fifties in urban ghettos of Montréal, condemned by circumstances to live a life of misery without history and future. Observed by a boy, caught up in the same poverty trap and wounded intellectually for a few years with a massive indoctrination program of servile obedience and enforced acceptance without question to a dogmatic belief system - in this case the French-Canadian medieval version of Roman Catholicism of olden days. In the end, it brings out a ray of hope by suggesting that, similar to the first group of entrepreneurs of the Beauce region - those original and inspiring 'can do' people of Québec - a generalized underground movement has at last begun an original creativity and economic development, bypassing the previous limits of language, stifling religion, and the ideological self-imposed traditional barriers to entrepreneurship and business.
An ethical standard for people whose rights are trampled upon due to programs of terror meant specifically for them as groups... begging us to remove ourselves from that conundrum.
This consists of small handwritten notes by Dolores Maureen Pierson gathered here to ensure that her despair would not disappear in the mist of time. Written in occasional moments of despair, when the nightmares that had been her childhood would come back and haunt her in spite of her usual bubbly personality. This author thought throughout her life about little 'Dolores', and to paraphrase her: "A little tot, raped and murdered by Pierre Pierson, whose place of birth and name was given to me, another child (two years younger), substituted in her stead-as if, I, Helen, no longer existed." "This was accomplished in order to, both, hide this awful crime, and free my birth mother, Annette Cronk, so she could continue to party, 'live her life' as she was fond of saying, and pretend until the day she died, that I did not exist (although she gave birth to two other daughters), with the complicity of her older sister-my fake mother, who contrive that I would never meet anybody in my family and I never did."
A planetary program for the annihilation of the human phenomenon is in progress according to Jean Ovide Bourdeau and has now begun to accelerate toward its overall goal. Yet, he notes that we inexplicably continue to deny the existence of this scenario of malfeasance altogether despite obvious spectacles of terror and violence. A general situation nonetheless made blindingly obvious by famines, utter poverty, nuclear arsenals, environmental collapse, territorial and food wars, genocides, etc. - all for a self-righteous agenda-driven mission and objectives. And as if to make matters worse, this author states that, all of this is carried out with our approval, because as he fuether points out, most of us refuse to be responsible and accountable for our acts and that we do not respect the concept of 'Inalienable Individual Rights'. Jean Ovide Bourdeau, however, offers us a scenario of hope, based on sane and kind behavior, if we dare and can change our negative attitude before it is too late.
Theological thinkers are placed into contexts which inform their theological tasks but that context is usually limited to a European or North American centre, usually ignoring minorities and lesser mainstream theologies even in that context. This work focuses on the shift of Christian theological thinking from the North Atlantic to the Global South, even within the North Atlantic Church and Academy. It gives a Global perspective on theological work, method and context. Theologians from North America, Great Britain and Europe, Africa, Asia, Central and South America comment on how their specific context and methodology manifests, organizes and is prioritized in their thought so as to make Christian theology relevant to their community. By placing the Global South alongside the newly emerging presence of non-traditional Western forms such as Pentecostal, Aboriginal, and Hispanic theologies and theologians a clearer picture of how Christian theology is both enculturated and still familial is offered..
We continue the work begun in a seminal essay titled "Ethics of One" by extending further our previous observations, but this time with numerous examples and situations in support of the general hypothesis raised in the first essay. In fact what author Jean Ovide Bourdeau proposes is that the 'Brave New World' has already begun; that its terminal objective is visible to those of us willing to open our eyes; and that it is on target. He continues to confront the obvious intellectual syndrome of terror resulting from our mean-spirited attitude toward 'being wrong and being wronged' in what this author calls our 'Ethical Disease of Self-righteousness'. A notion witnessed in callous and cowardly acts carried out by means of a social sacrament of 'Absolute Obedience' to political programs meant to control those who dare disagree either with our 'Immaculate Perception' or that of the 'Special One' and 'Special Group' managing a society.
