Process theology is not born of revelation, but purely of
philosophical reflection, so it ipso facto cannot be compatible with
"the faith handed down once and for all by the saints."

As far as I understand it, process theology claims that God somehow
exists within our spatio-temporal reality without being a part of it,
while also mysteriously participating in it.  I don't see what problem
this was designed to solve.

Why, Keely, is this "better" than atheism?
