Hi Bill,
Thanks for your excellent posts as well as Kevin’s. This is a fruitful and necessary discussion. For better or worse–as I sit here giving my final final of the semester (the students look somewhat frazzled)–I don’t have anything to contribute on the nature of evil. At least at the moment, but I do want to offer a few interesting tidbits from the R. Catholic world.
Some of my favorite ladies have just celebrated their fifth anniversary in Arizona, and they’re about to complete their new monastery, Our Lady of Solitude. I’ve corresponded with the Mother Nun, Sister Marie Andre, for several years, and I finally got to meet most of her order a year and a 1/2 ago. They were, without question, some of the most impressive persons I’ve ever met. Pious, witty, intelligent, humorous, artistic, imaginative, and playful. Indeed, my afternoon with them would always be what Kirk called “a timeless moment.”
Artist, author, and editor Carl Olson’s most recent edition of Ignatius Insight has some brilliant articles by/on Father James Schall, Michael O’Brien, Ralph McInerny, Father Aidan Nichols, and, of course, the ever interesting aforementioned Carl Olson. All are worth reading.
Finally, at least for now, I just found out that Ralph McInerny had written at least one final mystery before his death.
Yours,
Brad
