Hi everyone, Catholics in Europe are losing touch with the story of God's dealings with His people, as told in Scripture and tradition. The idea that we don't really know what Jesus said reminds me of comments by a prominent South American priest, though I can't quote him exactly. Alice von Hildebrand once said there's no one as profound as the Germans, but unfortunately, no one knows what they're saying! 😂 Thankfully, some people like Dr. Rowland make sense of it all. Most of Pope Benedict's influences are new to me, apart from Guardini and Pieper. Could you please post their names and links in the description? For years, I tried, with God's grace, to build a family following St John Paul II's vision. In the end, I found it profound, meaningful, and unliveable. My marriage broke down, and my son, now 18, refuses to go to Mass. Please pray for us. From my experience, I believe Wojtyla's teachings need further development rather than just reiteration or rewording.
I am so sorry to hear of the breakdown of your marriage. Of course we will pray for you and your family. The six scholars that Dr. Rowland discusses in her book "Beyond Kant and Nietzsche" are Carl Muth, Theodor Haecker, Theodor Steinbüchel, Gottlieb Söhngen, Romano Guardini, and Erich Przywara. I'm looking forward to exploring some of these men's work myself! The Christian humanist project remains, in my mind, the way forward.
You cite DB Hart's translations of Erich Przywara. It would be fascinating to get DB Hart to comment on the political tone of this conversation: Reagan/JPII in alliance and American Catholics as the guardians of the faith (according to George Pell, a man of very dubious reputation). I imagine that DBH would provide an interesting counterpoint that would remind any Catholic viewers in the audience to avoid identifying too quickly with cultural conservatism. In other words, it's a little disappointing how much this interview flirts with right-wing Catholicism and doesn't do justice to the legitimate correctives offered by Pope Francis (in spite of all of his real shortcomings).

Tracey Rowland is one the best theologians in the Church today.
Great interview
Thanks, Richard. We need to have you back on soon to continue our discussion of Benedict!
