Re-Inventing Work: An Interview with Matthew Fox
An Episcopalian priest and theologian, Matthew Fox began his career as a member
of the Dominican Order of the Catholic Church but was expelled in 1993 by
Cardinal Ratzinger, who later became Pope Benedict XVI. Among Foxs teachings the
Catholic hierarchy found most objectionable was his belief in original blessing,
which became the title of one of his most popular books. The concept was in
direct contravention of the Roman Catholic doctrine that people are born into
original sin. Fox was also criticized for his embrace of the divine feminine and
his acceptance of homosexuality.
