Cicero tells me there was an RC theologian/philosopher/historian in Switzerland at the same time, who from what I see, dealt with many of the same issues in many of the same ways: Hans Urs von Balthasar. I wonder if they met.
I haven't heard this, but the name "Copleston" comes to mind. However, Dr. Schaeffer had some things to say about the RC church that cast a decidedly unfavorable light on that church. For example, Aquinas is perhaps the most prominent catholic philosopher and Dr. Schaeffer points out that Aquinas made a big mistake when he tried to reconcile Aristotlean thinking (dealing with the particulars and man's autonomy) with Christianity (dealing with the universals and God's autonomy), and how Aquinas' writings served to corrupt Christianity more than help it.
Serves to let me be all the more motivated to say that since it starts with God, we need to understand man not first from even our 'personality' but from our 'relationalilty.'
