  • Just posting it as food for thought. Nothing wrong with someone like Merton, or anyone, attracting someone back to the Church. Merton is so fishy he should have been excommunicated. Jones is more of the cagey type. I forget the sources for these snips. I believe the snip about Merton and Heschel was some ecuмenical book about Vatican II. The Jones snip might come from Cuneo's Smoke of Satan (1999).









    FWIW the following is from Cuneo's Smoke of Satan (1999):





    Some would have people believe that I'm a deceiver because I've used various handles on different Catholic forums. They only know this because I've always offered such information, unprompted. Various troll accounts on FE. Ben on SuscipeDomine. Patches on ABLF 1.0 and TeDeum. GuitarPlucker, Busillis, HatchC, and Rum on Cathinfo.

  • Although Thomas Merton turned out to be a New Ager that apparently lost faith, I was also moved by his conversion story, " Seven Storey Mountain".
    I never read any other of his other works; those revolutionary styled books of the 1960's
