Hi,
I’m trying to remember the name of a author who died within the last year or two. I believe he had an academic career, and may have become known during the 60’s or so. He considered himself a faithful Catholic, but one of his main stances was that a believer could have a wider and more divergent set of beliefs than one typically supposes, as long as it did not contradict an excathedra statement. I remember reading a wikipedia entry on him at the time of his death, but I just can’t recall his name at all. I’m pretty sure he was controversial enough that many of you would know the answer.
I’m not trying to beat a hornet nest with a stick here, but if that happens, God Bless! I have amiable conversations at times with friends and family who have different styles of belief, and obviously we romp around alot with black and white vs shades of gray, an arena this writer apparently delighted in.
