Sarah writes: Briefly, there's a book and film called Lamb, can't remember the author. That film summed up catholicism for me.
Vince replies: who needs 2,000 years of accumulated materials when one book telling one story (and who knows if fiction or nonfiction) can "sum up" everything. Too bad Aquinas wrote his Sumna, for this story eliminates all need for knowing anything else. All the dogmatic theologies, all the history, can be tossed for this one story - which is after all a book and a movie. However, as a nonRoman, I will match your one story of a prisst and boy with Mother Teresa and raise you with Dorothy Day. Sarah writes: Anyway, I'm going on too long, and I'm not sure I'm making sense. Vince replies: No, where you are coming from is perfectly clear.
