At a Starbucks some years back with a friend next to me, Zuhlsdorf went into a self-induced monologue of how incredible the Love Letters of Abelard and Heloise were.
Peter Abelard was condemned for heresy by the Council of Soissons, 1121, and again by that of Sens, 1140.
He kept telling us young people, in between mochas with such a glow on his face, the great "poetic merit" of these scandalous letters of a wicked heretic and a his lover, his young student, he was forced to shun when she became pregnant. He got her into a nunnery. The love letters were written between the two as she was an abbess.
I was disgusted!
"Z" is a great model for our precious kids?
Well, "Yes" according to Opus Fellay.
