Hassan Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 [quote name='Tinkerlina' post='1770515' date='Feb 3 2009, 12:34 AM']Yes, thanks. Did Anscombe write about Just War Doctrine too? I remember reading something by him back in an English class and I think it was about that... -Katie[/quote] She wrote a sathing and brilliant essay on President Truman receiving on honorary doctorate at Oxford for his actions during WWII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Therese Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I heard it was very hard too. But surely, worthwhile. I think Pope Benedict's stuff is hard to, but not impossible. I heard that he dictates his books in entirety. No mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've read of his makes far more sense than a lot of other things. But I suppose part of that is personal syle/preference. I'm kinda having a JPII love fest atm. Unfortunately, I also have a friendly/unfriendly list of saints, which is probably not a good idea. Too many on the unfriendly list lately! -Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Therese Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I take offense at that one. The theology of St. Therese is much more subtle than most people realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
