Any comments? I think there are some valid points.

I learned about 20 years ago that ANYTHING from "St Anthony Press"--US Catholic, St Anthony Messenger--is usually just garbage.

At that time, Leonardi was about 15...

For the very best that empirical experience might have achieved was an experience of resuscitation, not resurrection

Completely false, and borders on the heretical. Christ raised himself from the dead, regardless of the word, and had restored his glorified Body.

Empirical data be damned, common sense would lead any person to think Christ would not take on the fallen body of man, but the glorified body of pre-fall Adam.

Tracts like these often get muddled in some little ax the writer has to grind while missing the fundamental question of the writer. This is why I think people like Keating, Madrid and Hahn are geniuses in apologetics, they keep the message simple, short, and to the point.

I picked that particular issue up in the vestibule and found it rather disappointing. I expected something else from the title.

I've been a sponsor at RCIA for several years and have seen a number of Catholic Updates over the years. Fortunately, the RCIA team doesn't hand them out willy-nilly. They actually read them and not every Update makes the cut.

I was told at my old university center that I could call on these for any of my Sunday School lessons. I NEVER did. All I had to see, was that the esteemed, Remert E. Weakland wrote one, to know that I wanted nothing to do with them. Instead, I used the Catechism, the Bible, and the Midwest Theological Forums "Intro to Catholicism."

Too many of these "theologians" are dissenters in sheeps clothing and I am a little sick of giving them aid and comfort.
