Review: Apostles of Reason | National Catholic Reporter

Review: Apostles of Reason | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I would associate fundamentalism, in all its forms, with populism (and anti-intellectualism).  This book looks interesting.  It might be fun to read with The Reformation by Dairmaid MacCulloch (who also wrote Christianity, the First 3000 Years - where he includes comments about all of Christianity - especially the Catholics).  As for thinking fundamentally, the American Catholic Church of the poor in the early twentieth century followed some of the same precepts and one cannot help but think that the condemnation of Modernism by Pius X would not appeal to some fundamentalist thinking (after removing papal authority from the mix).  As I will repeat tomorrow - in regard to scripture scholarship, history and archeology, the modernists were and are right and the holding action by the Church is doomed to fail - the one that no longer mentions Adam and Eve and instead talks about our First Parents (which if you know human anthropology at all is simply digging the hole deeper).  - note that MSW is writing a book review - so read his article and maybe the book.
