David Bentley Hart is one of my favorite living theologians. He understands the complexities of theology and doesn't give dull answers to questions. I recommend this video for those who think that all ecuмenism is wrong or bad. Very solid and deep.

  • David Bentley Hart is a militant universalist. He's not a success story of anything, except maybe modernism and liberalism. 
    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    Hart received his PhD from UVA, works with Notre Dame, and is respected by a number of orthodox Catholic thinkers today (like Robert Louis Wilken)

    I suggest you watch/read his stuff before making silly statements.

  • Why don't you engage with what he says instead of attacking his personal life? There's nothing necessarily repugnant in any of what yoy quoted.

    By the way, the question of universalism is a complex theological and philosophical question. It's not something that has a black and white answer. The Church Fathers grappled with it throughout the first millennium

  • His email suggests his name is "Khater". I remember that name -- as a past member I banned.

    When someone can say this of an Orthodox pseudo-theologian, he doesn't belong here.

    No. I am a parishioner at an FSSP parish. The fact that Hart is Orthodox does not of itself make him wrong.

    I don't attend SSPX or Resistance chapels. I only posted the Hart video to bring about some discussion.

  • All sorts of odd stuff is tolerated on here (Flat Eartherism, various theories about the current political situation, Feeneyism, etc) so I don't see why just discussing the video I linked to is an issue.

    I don't agree with Hart on everything but he is a serious thinker. 

    As Traditional Catholics, we do ourselves a disservice by not engaging with current theologians.

    Hey Lad
    Which of his works have you read? If you haven't read him, I wouldn't jump out calling him a pseudo-theologian.

    This is likely an alternative spare profile from another user, probably the one who's been banned.

    These trolls, they always start with a bang. First post is already controversial.
