"He says that Original Sin isn't exactly what we figure it is, and so the Immaculate Conception, and Baptism, aren't exactly what you might think, either. Or something like that."
A couple of years ago Tantumergo said a similar thing to me about the Immaculate Conception (Hey, T, where've you been?).
"I'll bet you didn't know that Scott Hahn is a Weight Watchers lifetime member."
I'm not sure I even knew who Scott Hahn was until this thread...kinda like that Orthodox columnist guy who converted from Roman Catholicism and whom it was apparently thought appropriate by some Latins to bash nearly as unmercifully as the author of this thread's rant bashed Hahn! :)
Well, at least everyone's learning something, if they're paying attention. Scott Hahn is a high-level Biblical scholar who also produces popular-audience books on Scripture (in a Roman Catholic way, of course.) He's a very popular speaker and writer, and, in my opinion, is generally careful to make it clear where his interpretations are just his own opinion, and where there is firm guidance from Sacred Tradition.
His general direction is not exactly apologetical, at least not all the time, but it's certainly reaching toward a Protestant-acculturated audience (such as myself :-), rather than toward an Eastern readership. However, I understand that he speaks Greek, so he's not a heretic.
I like his recorded lectures because he talks very fast, so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth. Father John Hardon spoke veeeerrrrryyyy slooooowwwwly, with lots of repetition, yes, I said repetition, over and over again, as it were, so even though I loved his content, I always felt like I should get a discount because there were fewer words per hour.
