Book review letter.(C.I., Dec. 2007, p. 6) John O'Callaghan writes, "I suggest that it would have been wiser to ignore such blasphemous blas·phe·mous adj. Impiously irreverent. [Middle English blasfemous, from Late Latin blasph material than to focus light on it by publishing a review of it," in his letter commenting on my book review of Sobat's The Book of Mary (C.I., Nov 2006, pp. 40-41). What if everyone had taken this passive stance with The DaVinci Code? Do not all blasphemous things, large and small in stature, need light focused on them?

Sadly blasphemous content to be "pushed back" will, more often than not, require a "Think Locally, Act Locally," focus, but many times not just that. Catholic Insight, I submit, accomplished both by publishing the review. It is by ignoring such blasphemous content we have the cumulative blasphemous mindset mind·set or mind-set n. 1.

If everyone did their part and positively "pushed back," with love, we'd be well on our way from a culture of death to a culture of life.

Finally, my intention was not to write a treatise on the Immaculate Conception Immaculate Conception In Roman Catholicism, the dogma that Mary was not tainted by original sin. Early exponents included St. Justin Martyr and St. Irenaeus; St. Bonaventure and St. Thomas Aquinas were among those who opposed it. ..... Edmonton, AB |
