It takes a theologian!
Yesterday's paper featured an interview with Fr. Robert Barron, a Chicago theologian and author (great writer) who has been entrusted by Cardinal George with, basically, inspiring a whole evangelization movement in the archdiocese. (Well, with the help of the Holy Spirit!) Barron is one of those enormous minds--he did an advanced course in philosophy when he was 19--but also very much a normal guy. He was expounding no the Super Bowl, and on the Rolling Stones performance, sounding very guy-like, when out of the blue came one of those things that would only ever cross the mind of a theologian. He was referring to "I can't get no satisfaction," a signature song for the Stones if ever there was one. And Barron's comment was, "How totally Augustinian!"

He just might be the man to bring my husband back into the fold. I'm hoping to get him to Father's talk on Palm Sunday at Holy Name.
