Some people assume we all agree with each other on all issues (obviously we do not!), although I think it is true to say that we all agree to pursue our thought within the dictates of Catholic Social Thought. My own posts might tend to confuse readers, and the current series I am writing, I plan not to post replies to the comments until the series is over -- saves me time but also, it allows me not to be diverted into side debates. I have been amused at what many people said in those comments, however.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of Girard, one day I plan to read through a few of his writings (when I am done with my dissertation work).The little I've read has made me want to compare some of his thought with some of de Maistre's (do you know if he ever reference de Maistre in his writings?)Henry Karlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506445261363361986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37222179.post-73628871459694748442007-06-04T15:09:00.000-04:002007-06-04T15:09:00.000-04:00Welcome Henry, it is great to see you.

I have meant to leave a comment on half a dozen of your posts over at Vox Nova, but ... to be honest I haven't felt up to your knowledge/skill level. Vox Nova has a lot of great and thoughtful reading in it. What we have found, just as <A HREF="http://www.cantalamessa.org/en/articoloView.php?id=66" REL="nofollow">Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, ofmcap</A> has found, that Rene Girard has some very profound thoughts to add to our understanding of things.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, we hope that you would get a chance to check out Rene Girard <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Theater-Envy-William-Shakespeare-Carthage/dp/1587318601/ref=sr_1_2/002-5374041-6346459?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180889264&sr=1-2" REL="nofollow">A Theater of Envy: William Shakespeare</A> sometime and are able to integrate MT into some of your reflections.David Nybakkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13172189118334371454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37222179.post-28754561546610948972007-06-04T14:46:00.000-04:002007-06-04T14:46:00.000-04:00Of course evidence suggests that one of Shakespear...Of course evidence suggests that one of Shakespeare's first plays was about St Thomas More!
