Thomas Merton...? 

Have you somehow found your way here but not looked around yet?

The buddhist/catholic hybrid religion that Merton practiced isn't of any use to Traditional Catholics. It's not useful to anyone.

Thomas Merton apostatized after Vatican 2. I would stay as far away as possible from anything he wrote.

I live right by the Fr. Thomas Merton Center here in Louisville, Ky.  I taught a couple of classes at Bellarmine, otherwise known as St. Robert Bellarmine College.  Apparently the Merton Center has the letters that Merton was writing to the salacious nurse he was conversing with.  It was well known that Merton would sneak out at night and put on his leather jacket and "let his hair down."  Poor, poor Fr. Merton.  

I taught a class at Bellarmine titled, "Controversial Views of American History."  I ended with 9-11 - that got me canned!
