Hey, may I jump in a second? :-) I've read some books by Roman Catholic authors. I rather enjoy as a devotional Thomas a'Kempis' "The Imitation of Christ." I've also read -- several times -- "The Practice of the Presence of God" by Nicholas Herman. I've read through all 25 sessions of the Council of Trent -- Zzzzzz. I waded through the Canons of the Fourth Lateran Council. I've read Augustine's Confessions -- lots better! Recently I've just begun reading some of Anselem's stuff. I thought former Father Charles Chiniquy was very enlightening, but he probably doesn't quite fit the criteria. I may not make it all the way through, but I've read the first two parts of the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church -- 1992 Edition, I think, but I loaned it out and didn't get it back. Perhaps it was an unintentionally pugnacious statement, but the words "scholarly," "Catholic," and "fundamentalist" all sound a bit odd to me in the same sentence. Although I am none of these things, sir, might I humbly suggest that one must be careful not to over-generalize when seeking to correct over-generalizations. :-) |

Greetings Doc! Have you read any works of Henri Nouwen? "The Return of the Prodigal" is one of my absolute favorite books - I strongly recommend it to you! I was privileged to hear Fr. Nouwen speak a few years before his death. imo, he was a spirit filled man of God who shared his life with those entrusted to his care. Blessings, mommapbs |
