Never Judge a Book

All of us, on occasion, experience moments of "ontological density" (DeLubac) or "ontological mooring" (Marcel). And a key principle of Catholic theology and anthropology is that we are most ourselves when we are most open to receiving the source of our being by giving ourselves away in loving service to God and others.

You want to see ontological substance? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Susan Boyle, who appeared on Britain's equivalent of American Idol.

Read all about Miss Boyle - the youngest of nine children, a life-long Catholic who cared for her aging parents till death, who has never been kissed, and who describes herself as looking "like a garage" - at The Anchoress here.
