Father-I left without asking you a question I wanted to pose to you. I know that you are a busy man, so if you can’t answer my question, I understand. But what is your opinion of Teilhard de Chardin?Thanx.
I read Tielhard de Chardin while a student at Oxford and thought him rather exciting at the time. I think he was a creative and positive theological thinker and I don’t think he said anything that was downright heretical, although at times his speculative theology was a bit too much for traditional thinkers.I also confess to not really knowing that much about him at all, and I suspect that the main problem with his thought is that it is too original and too, shall we say, trendy–to stand the test of time.
Dear Lord.
I could stay there and never come out.

Thanks, Father. Lovely.
