Entry: The Impresario Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_impresario#18539 Post contents: Mr. Capp, First, you *still* have not bothered to find the actual text and to cite it directly. Secondly, papal encyclicals may well be ill-timed and may not invoke magisterial authority. It depends on the nature of the encyclical. Once again, Buckley himself might not personally have been embarrassed by the Syllabus. Many in the Church were. He might have meant that the encyclical woudl prove as embarrassing in the future as the Syllabus was to Church*men* at his time. If he himself was embarrassed, yes, that would be a Modernist streak in him. But my major point was that you say that Buckley would be embarrassed by a linewhen have Buckley's word on what in the encyclical irked him. Just please try not to be so strident in these accusations that hinge on nuance. Buckley was a nuanced man. Sent at: 2008 11 22
