…catholic with a small ‘c’: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/catholic https://www.thefreedictionary.com/catholic (…sorry I couldn’t resist the pun…). Personally I think there have been many wondrous, uplifting and glorious achievements of the Catholic church/its followers …and, I’m sure you would agree, some not so much, as is the case with many human institutions… What is it I’m subscribed to? Edward Feser may be a wonderful fellow in person for all I know - I would like to think at least that he is a decent, upstanding, law-abiding, moral etc. citizen - he certainly comes across as erudite and indefatigable in his writing… I just get the feeling that the two blog posts I have read of his that have been posted on this site were both designed solely to reinforce his particular presuppositions? Perhaps I am judging him unfairly - would you recommend something else of his that I should read instead? As I say, if his philosophy/faith works for him, gives him meaning and hope and joy etc. and he genuinely believes in those ideas, I wish him all the best… I worry a little about (perhaps less enlightened) people wanting to apply those ideas to society at large though... You must surely also be aware of examples from history where things have not gone so well? (not least for Catholics at various points in time - incl. ancestors of my own). What do you think?
