Our first reading for today proposes a very serious challenge to the
inclusiveness and non-judgmentalism that is taken for granted in
our culture today. The chief of the Apostles says, “He is the stone rejected by you the builders, which has become the cornerstone. There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved.” Stay with how uncomfortable this is—because in a way, that’s the point.
