How do you feel about Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker's Movement? I remember seeing an ambivalent comment of yours on Liberation Theology in the past.
Gregory B. Sadler
Well, one can certainly be ambivalent about Liberation Theology without that having much to do with Day and the CWM, even though they can both be located on the "Left".
I will say this in general: my view is that the more that one thinks in terms of political/cultural left and right, the more one moves away from an authentically committed (and might I say, radically traditional) Christianity, which ought to be a scandal to most political associations or perspectives. And, it seems to me that the CWM tended to represent such a radical Christian commitment. I can't say that necessarily of all its members or other associated organizations - but when can you, after all?

I saw in one of your answers that you speak French, German, or Greek [or at least have a working knowledge, no?] and I remember in one of your YouTube videos you said you "worked through the grammar book" for German and Greek, at least. My question is: what was your method for working through grammars to learn/refresh your knowledge of a language? I mean did those particular books have exercises, or--?
