The goodness of things in the cosmos is not rooted most…
““The goodness of things in the cosmos is not rooted most basically in human freedom or intelligence, and thus in human spirit, nor is it first granted by human freedom and intelligence. On the contrary, it is rooted in the creative freedom and intelligence of the creator, in which all things of the cosmos truly participate, and which they just so far "image," each in its own analogical, creaturely way.””
