Stanley Jaki have been invaluable to me in my study of Western thought in general. I will definitely check out H-Catholic. Thanks!<br /><br />Hey, did you see Steven Hawking declared today that there is no God. Whew! Glad one of our intellectual betters weighted in on the subject! To their credit, even atheists and agnostics are calling his reasoning illogical.ckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347299406398966275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-49871546996529847492010-09-02T05:36:21.506-07:002010-09-02T05:36:21.506-07:00CK,

The list members are a great font of information, especially about where to find primary sources. In fact, about a year ago, I think there was a thread on this very topic.Matt Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781640827369575153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-13403852097073169692010-09-01T09:38:31.119-07:002010-09-01T09:38:31.119-07:00are we into nitpicking here? usually 'progres...are we into nitpicking here? usually 'progressive' and 'modern' are said by someone who is boasting . . . . a la . . . .

John Dewey and values clarification, the Frankfurt School, political correctness, Critical Theory, Cultural Marxism, Alfie Kohn and his whole "no grades or trophies" ideas, Secular Humanism, Freudian atheistic psychology….and it all seems to boil down to overturning the Western Civilization created largely by the Catholic Church. If you have any opinions, sources, or particularly Catholic perspective on this, I would appreciate an e-mail.ckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347299406398966275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-23981941981731053612010-09-01T07:35:22.412-07:002010-09-01T07:35:22.412-07:00Jesus said something similar 2000 years ago--about...Jesus said something similar 2000 years ago--about the wise steward who takes from his storehouse both the new and the old.<br /><br />I don't like the the term "progressive," because it is used to end all arguments. Implicit in the word "progress" is a sense of "the good." "Regression" is always seen as bad. Yet, something new is NOT always good. But by saying that all new things represent "progress," people are swayed by the implicit meaning of the word, rather than taking the time to discern whether the "new" thing is good or bad.Cracked Potnoreply@blogger.com
