Always refreshing to hear CP’s provocations
I have very little contact with American academics, who are pitifully trapped in a sterile career system that has become paralyzed by political correctness.
I do not subscribe to the implicitly moralistic assumption that literature or art “teaches” us anything.
Medieval theology is far more complex and challenging than anything offered by the pretentious post-structuralist hucksters.
But as a student of comparative religion, I have to say that when the Catholic Church trims its doctrine for politically correct convenience, it will no longer be Catholic.
