He was an amazing writer, and looking down on me from a shelf is a beautifully printed (and ready for framing) excerpt from "Rain and the Rhinoceros". I just prefer Thomas Aquinas because, well, come on! Thomas Aquinas! <br /><br />I admit it was a bit naughty to put Merton anywhere near NCR, but I get tired of people saying he should be canonized BECAUSE he had an affair with a nurse. I have actually heard people saying that. <br /><br />Good for you for standing up for your monk. Oooh, there's a song in that! "Stand by your monk..." ;-DSeraphichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251504033428511090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-46579503225789793302010-10-31T02:05:36.785+00:002010-10-31T02:05:36.785+00:00Love you Seraphic,

Dawn Eden does that last one already, though. I could also go totally off-topic and do a presentation on "The Spirit of the Liturgy: How the 1962 Mass points to the real meaning of Vatican II." <br /><br />I possibly could also get away with "Men, Man Up, and Women, Be Ladies" unless Notre Dame has a Women's Studies department. Eeek! <br /><br />I would get a ton of material out of my book and blog and do a lovely presentation. But the real reason you want me there is for the Q & As, the official one in the hall, the sneaky one on the way to the pub/restaurant and the one in the pub/restaurant. <br /><br />I gave a talk at the University of St. Andrew's (too long and I was too nervous) and nobody asked me any questions--until they got me alone. Once alone, I was pounced on for personal advice. It was very cool.Seraphichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251504033428511090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-198431576772537952010-10-28T18:59:58.198+01:002010-10-28T18:59:58.198+01:00Just curious, Seraphic - what speaking topics woul...Just curious, Seraphic - what speaking topics would you want to tackle?

Ah ha ha ha ha! You see, I did some research on this. <br /><br />As for Weigel, I am amazed. Amazed! I wonder if a Weigel War will erupt now in the combox. I can't think what you mean unless it is, er, war related.<br /><br />Fifi, well done! I'm feeling a sudden nostalgia for the Midwest. WHERE is this coming from? I think its coming from my beautiful Midwestern readers. Goodness, I went to Edinburgh to meet British readers and ended up married to one of them, so what could happen if I came to Notre Dame or Steubie? The possibilities boggle the mind!Mrs McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095035617334068201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-47749864872833247362010-10-28T15:33:37.976+01:002010-10-28T15:33:37.976+01:00...been workin' on it, Seraphic!...been workin' on it, Seraphic!fifihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10707768899655106067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-9602725079971983952010-10-28T15:06:04.643+01:002010-10-28T15:06:04.643+01:00And in Poland you're sharing a publisher with ...And in Poland you're sharing a publisher with Bernard Haering :D<br /><br />I wonder who the Bible's shared a publisher with?
