Furthermore, I agree - as I said in my post - that Tielhard needs to be "read with caution."<br /><br />But I also think I'm in good company appreciating this particular piece - i.e. the company of Pope Benedict XVI & Cardinal Schönborn!<br /><br />What a pity it would be if the theological world over-reacted to some of the errors of the last 40 years by purging itself of mysticism, poetry, art, metaphor and dramatic overstatement. I'm all for dogma (truth); I'm all for beauty (the arts/ nature etc); and I'm all for love (relationship . . . with God and others).<br /><br />Truth, beauty & love . . . the combination of which exists to its fullest extent in the Catholic religion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083077248630884853.post-42073433422165283142009-10-15T15:14:42.600+01:002009-10-15T15:14:42.600+01:00Not too sure about de Chardin, Bishop David.
