The bible study is gonna be on discovering the biblical roots of the Mass. I'm not having the participants read the book, but I was planning on using it as sort of some of my background in teaching it. This is the first I've ever heard anyone think that Hahn is funky. I respect your posts a lot, so I'd like to hear more about what has turned you off from Hahn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad he converted over, though I cant remember reading anything truly insightful from him. I am difficult to please when it comes to theology. Some of his stuff might help some people along their way, but personally I avoid him. The newoxfordreview did some articles on his 'novelties' http://www.newoxfordreview.org/note.jsp?did=0207-notes-gnosticism http://www.newoxfordreview.org/article.jsp?did=0604-oneill http://www.newoxfordreview.org/note.jsp?did=0105-notes-hahn I've also read criticisms of his errors in various theological works I've read the past few years.

eustace scrubb Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 A book that's a selection of Dorothy Day's writings. And, as usual, one of Thomas Merton's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holly.o Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I (miraculously!) found a copy of [i][b]The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ[/b][/i] by Anne Catherine Emmerich & [i][b]The Fathers[/b][/i] by Pope Benedict XVI at my local public library! Currently reading the first and am so amazed by how descriptive it is. Although I know it isn't to be believed in the same way as Scripture, it really does open your heart to Jesus' sufferings. I hope everyone gets a chance to read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafka Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Verbum Domini, New Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Benedict Dialogues of Saint Catherine of Sienna. These are really excellent. And easy to read. Leisurely. And very insightful. My take on it is that they are a mix of private revelations and personal insights/meditations. The Religion of Teilhard de Chardin, by Cardinal Henri de Lubac. Lubac analyzes Chardin's works in light of Tradition, Scripture, Magisterial teachings, and Catholic theology in general. Interesting. Lubac is an immense intellect. I dont understand why so many people are so critical of Chardin. His work is flawed but he has some good theological insights. Pope Benedict quoted him in one of his sermons, and has favorly quoted him in several of his books before he became Pope. I guess it is because of the Monitum from over fifty years ago. Maybe some people shouldnt read him because they are too dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fides quarens intellectum Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 [i]Quo Vadis[/i] by Henrik Sienkiewicz. Fiction, but really makes you think about the details of what it may have been like for the persecuted Christians in Nero's Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafka Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 just read an old article by Ratzinger in a book store, he wrote a long time back: Eschatology and Utopia. It was o.k. not exactly what I was looking for though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
