stoutfellowI'm a bit behindhand with this, I guess, but I just learned that Cardinal Avery Dulles has died.
I've only read a couple of his many books - Models of the Church and Models of Revelation - but he impressed me. He was one of the few thinkers I've run across who recognize that the correct response to "The map is not the territory" is to get lots and lots of different maps.
Would that there were more. As of Dec. 12, there's one less.
