...instead at radical journalists like Novak and Daniel Callahan and magazines like Commonweal. These are, to be sure, good indicators of what radical Catholics are thinking about.

Hitchcock simply dismisses their quest for a God of the future as an attempt to secularize the message of the New Testament as much as possible.

So is it also, in a strikingly different way, in the thinking of Roman Catholic Theologian Gregory Baum. In a study called Man Becoming, to be published next spring, New York-based Father Baum perceives...
