More Maritain

Thanks to Rick and Michael for noticing the review of Barre's Jacques and Raissa Maritain: Beggars for Heaven.  This rich book deserves and rewards careful attention.  As does the beautiful book by Rick's colleague Ralph McInerny, The Very Rich Hours of Jacques Maritain: A Spiritual Life (Notre Dame, 2003).  One wonders how the various notions of "dissent" ventilated here in recent months would be judged by the charitable Maritain who cherished Merton and Alinsky.
