from Teilhard to Jim Wallis. How the mighty have fallen.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

My friend from Albany - what are your specific arguments against the thought of Teilhard or Wallis for that matter? For you it seems easy to criticize, but not as easy to actually deal with the content of their thought. You might be surprised, I might actually agree with you. I don't know b/c you really haven't stated what you believe.

My friend from Albany - As you requested in the comments of an earlier post, I have made two specific new posts on Maritain. If you are aware of any important links to Maritain's thought that I have missed, please forward them to me. Thank you.

My friend from Albany - I have an additional point. Jim Wallis is not the only one who is not satisfied by the politics of recent past or of the current situation. I refer you to the thought of Alisdiar MacIntyre, Paul Griffiths, Mark Noll, Fr. Jape S.J., and the editors of tNP. One might consider (incorrectly) that Jim Wallis is an easy target, but I challenge you to seriously take on any of the above figures.
