Thanks for this conversation. I had DLS for a couple courses at the JPII institute 1995-1997. This tribute discussion brought back many personal memories of him. Thank you!
Holy smokes. The discussion of how metaphysics and political theology relate to one another around the hour mark is dynamite: if you have an extrinsicist division between nature and supernature, you will end up with a top-down, authoritarian politics (those integralists who pine for throne and altar). Reminds me of the great conversation on youtube between John Milbank and DB Hart about the latter's book You Are Gods. Also amazing comments on why the Communio (also the Radically Orthodox) position is so frequently ignored: it simply doesn't fit in the current schema. Thank God for Bishop Barron--one of the few voices that seems to have a wide appeal and that speaks from roughly this position. Larry, I don't know if you read these comments, but now that you have confessed to caring about literature, I'll let you know that I happen to be publishing a book with Cambridge UP this year that is basically a reading of Romantic and Victorian literature through the lens of all the participatory metaphysics you are describing. In any case, thanks for this amazing discussion.
DLS is one of my favorite people to walk the earth…a professor and friend ❤ Thank you for doing this tribute. Grateful also for DCS 🙌🏻 and his legacy/work! I believe DLS was too deep and wise to be engaged by many, even today. I think his radical engagement with the problems of liberalism served to intimate those in the dialogue... Maybe a “Cliff Notes guide to DLS” (notice I didn’t say a “dummies guide;) would have been/would be helpful 😅 DLS pray with us!
Great talk. Can someone point to the name of the article written by David Schindler that was the response to Neo-Cons at First Things that Rodney refers to?
One of Larry's programs made me think that church doesnt have to prove the existence of God. Just invite people to believe or even wish that God is true and Jesus carried the message.
I begin my classes with the Jesus Prayer /because/ DLS would do it and I found it so compelling. Thanks for sharing this lovely conversation, gents.
I have also found your conversations with Larry very rewarding Daniel.

This is a lovely discussion. A lot can be told about somebody by who they admire and how they keep them alive.
Another tremendous conversation!

DC Schindler will also have a legacy.
This was just beautiful.
Thanks!
Yes, meaningful. Thank you gentlemen.

There were many. "Is America Bourgeois?" (1986) in Communio, which is a response to Weigel, is the first such article and probably the most famous.
One of Larry's programs made me think that church doesnt have to prove the existence of God. Just invite people to believe or even wish that God is true and Jesus carried the message.
Sounds like the group prefers not to choose god, but to imagine they have always had god in their being and memory.
