In April of 2005 the American Teilhard Association, in collaboration with the French and British Teilhard Associations and other partnering institutions, begins a yearlong commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the death of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) in New York City. One of the leading thinkers of the 20th century, Teilhard integrated his scientific understanding of evolution with his religious understanding of the "divine milieu."

FYI..the CIA ( Culinary Institute of America)in Hyde Park, NY is a former Jesuit complex. Thousands go each day to eat at the restaurants in the complex. Few know is that on the grounds there is a Catholic cemetery. When you enter the main building, if, at the security office you ask for the key to the gate, you can walk down to the cemetery and stroll among the gravesites. There are no headstones, but in keeping with humility, just simple markers flush with the ground. And way off under a lone tree , completely isolated, and far distant from any other grave, is the plot of de Chardin, as thought the powers that be feared that even in death he would somehow "contaminate" the minds and souls of the others interred there.
"Leading Thinker of 20th Century" translates to Leading Heretic of same... (IMHO)
I am pretty sure most of his teachings remain at least officially condemned by the Vatican, but unfortunately you can claim that more than a few Cardinals are fellow-travellers and almost certainly be correct
Well, he WAS french...
He was a genius. As such he was entitled to a few errors.
A fitting resting place for Teilhard. Even after 40 years of auto-demolition, the smoke of satan, and the New Springtime, much of his teaching remains officially condemned by the Church, doesn't it?

I read him back in my 20's. I recall being profoundly interested . But he seemed to put all his eggs in one basket. It was all "Holy Ghost" and no Father and Son.
Not sure. But I believe he adhered to Church leaders not to be published until after he died.
BWAAAHHHHHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAA
I'm a genius or was. If I tell you that pantheism is the way to go is that an error I'm entitled to?
