Amenabar (cool name, sounds like a Christian confectionary) makes a valid point I think, that has been made by countless others. Last night I was reading in Thomas Melville’s biography “Who’s Heaven, Who’s Earth?” the conflict that erupted inside of him as a Catholic Priest when he saw that the Church in Central America was responsible or indifferent to the terrible poverty and suffering around him, while many of the “pagans” he met who had never heard of Christianity were practicing the authentic spirit of the religion.
It’s kind of unusual for a woman to be remembered as a philosopher isn’t it? That has some implications as well.
After so many years of the Powers that be, having a heyday with epics like “The Ten Commandments” or “The Robe”, let the secular humanists have a go at it and let’s not whine, my Christian brothers.
