The lede from my post on Teilhard de Chardin on our website, November 12, 2012:
I remember Father Leonard Feeney’s brother, Jesuit Father Thomas Feeney, telling a group of us how, when Teilhard de Chardin was visiting the Jesuit house in Boston, an argument took place at dinner between an older priest and the cosmic evolutionist over the reality of the Resurrection of the Body of Christ and that of all the dead on the last day. The heretic delighted himself in expounding his fanciful ideas about man’s joining the Omega Christ in some kind of pantheistic union where all multiplicity would cease. If I remember correctly, from what Father Thomas Feeney told us, it was at this same dinner that Father Leonard called de Chardin a heretic to his face. Brother Francis once attended a talk hosted by a convent of nuns in Canada where a disciple of the fantasist pushed the same heresy about the resurrection. When Brother questioned him, he replied sarcastically: “Are you speaking about the cadaver?”
Susan Claire Potts has just written an insightful article for The Remnant in which she credits the spaced-out Jesuit evolutionist with being one of the principle underminers of the Faith, beginning in and going well beyond the first half of the twentieth century. His books are still having their evil influence in once-Catholic universities and even in the higher circles of Church leadership.
The Remnant: “There is a shadow over the world. It darkens societies and snuffs the candles in the sanctuary. It creeps around corners and billows over houses. Good people see it, but they don’t know what to do. How do you fight a shadow? How do you crush a phantasm? There’s no substance there, nothing to push or shove. Nothing works.
“So what is this strange amorphous thing, this Mystery of Iniquity? How can we understand it?
“Sometimes, the most complex, inexplicable things are not so hard to understand once the blinders are off. I’m a counseling psychologist—no theologian or scientist—but, like all who hold the Catholic Faith, I have eyes to see. After nearly forty years of studying the human mind, analyzing the root of emotional conflict, moral perversions, and intellectual error, this is how it looks to me”: Full article is here.
