The stumbling block to my posting more of him at the moment is a long overdue promise to post something he sent me about Medjugorje. I ran into vaporlock here at my own St. Pat's when I realized I was surrounded by believers. Long story. Anyway ...
I figured he was cool but it's neat to hear that confirmed. Like Joe Sobran, he's been gracious enough to write me back when I've had a question. I think the world of him.
My cousin used to take Celtic dancing ... I'm delighted he's keeping his heart rate in fighting trim! We need his like around as long as possible. Please give him best regards and all gratitude from a devoted reader.
I keep trying to get him to make the website a little more elaborate, but he's not a big fan of the internet. I'd like him to convert some of his taped presentations to .au or .wav files and post snippets of them on the site. It would give people a nice intro to his work. His tapes are awsome, I think he's a great speaker. When I suggested it, he told me that the website was mostly a way of making him bankrupt.
He does have a touch of the Luddite in him.
He's an oarsman and a cyclist. He's got a shell on the St Joe river near his house and works out regularly. He also likes riding his bike From South Bend to Lake Michigan and back (about 70 miles round trip). He'll live to be 100.
Is this about the Belgian (?) nun who supposedly attended a seance where seven demons were invoked and one allegedly presented himself? EMJ told me that the demon named himself, and was associated with family strife and break-ups. Pretty weird....
Funny you should mention Medjugorje. The Medjugorje Deception was a real work of mercy for me. I read it right before being confirmed into the Church. I was just then learning about Fatima and Lourdes and might have been a real sucker for something like Medjugorje in my initial enthusiasm. His book sobered me up real quick. It's probably the one book by him that I think of most fondly.
As far as Libido is concerned, I get a little depressed reading it. It's a great book and all, it deserves much more recognition than it's gotten. There it is, all the frauds, lies, and Machiavellian deceptions of the modern age's sex mania laid out in black and white, proven indubitably. But I can't read the thing through. It's depressing to know how thoughly all of us have been hoodwinked in these matters. One always sensed it, but his book proves it. I told EMJ after it came out that I didn't want to know more about how Sartre was a cad, Kinsey was a liar and a degenerate, Reich was a hater of God and a savage, etc. The whole thing left me with the feeling summed up by the title of Sartre's first novel--Nausea. I didn't need to know I was in a labyrinth--I wanted to know how to get out!
