Merton is interesting he has pulled away from traditional Catholic teaching ! but his books still make to much money witch the Church do not want to give up so he is not excommunicate as it has been for lesser doctrinal infraction by others, no doubt the church is in bed with money , i dont think P.Francis is going change this much - i think my, personal view - he out grew the Catholic tradition in the silence of the monastery, he woke up - signs - symbols -and , ceremonies do not no matter how beautiful, are all empty when looked into i think this after many looking into, discovered -
I will be getting a copy of this DVD in the mail soon. May post more about it. Morgan Atkinson (the film maker) is pretty astute about the Merton Industry.
