    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.
