Jesus, on the Cross, redeemed ALL creation for God the Father, not just human beings

[Contarini]

That makes no sense whatsoever. Creation was not guilty of original sin.
Humans are.
Therefore Jesus could not redeem that did not need redeeming.

Why are you assuming that it’s all about guilt?

This is the basic wrong turn Western Christianity has taken.

The Fathers knew better–redemption is redemption from death and corruption.

You don’t have to be touchy-feely about animals, plants, rocks, etc. to be happy that they are part of God’s Creation, or sad that Creation fell along with its head creatures, Adam and Eve.

And what is wrong with being touchy-feely, anyway?

[Contarini]

Creation did not commit mortal sin. God’s covenant was with Adam, no one else, nothing else. When Christ came, He incarnated as a human being, not as ‘‘creation.’’

That makes no sense.

Human beings are part of creation.

James refers to believers as the “firstfruits of creation.”
