I was interested in your comments about Christian existentialism. Didn’t Kierkegaard possess sort of a melancholy personality, full of “ angst and absurdity?” The father of Christian existentialism? I’ve not read much about Kierkegaard, you’re the expert. Did he have problems with organized religion in matters of faith? Dianne and I are members of a small Episcopal church, but consider ourselves more Anglican than Episcopalian. TEC is too progressive and is declining rapidly. It’s interesting that you were drawn into Catholicism. It seems to be one of the few that have held on to orthodoxy.

De Lubac has been on my reading list for a while now so enjoyed listening to this. Is it fair to assume that he’d agree that a significant part of the spiritual battle is between two competing accounts of freedom: namely the classical account and the liberal? Good podcast guys!
