What are you reading the week of March 30, 2014

[TexasProgresive]

10. OK

1st- I don't know if non-Catholics would get a lot of the nuances. It is written as though to someone who has some knowledge of the history of the Catholic church and some of the strange thinking of neo-pietists and others.

2nd- it is fascinating the way Sr. Mary Catherine is able to have Petroc thinking as an early renaissance man- that is he is part of the renaissance but like a fish in water is unaware of it, The contrast with that of people post renaissance and certainly affected by the age of reason is very interesting.

It is an easy read that seems to impart an understanding of why we are like we are. Even though it is quite old, written around the time of the 2nd Vatican council much can be extrapolated into the present.

Have you read it? This is my 2nd reading. The first was at least 20 years ago in and old Penguin paperback that I lost. I just got this new reprint from Amazon.
