"Thomas Merton, who became the most prolific Catholic scholar and writer of his century".Was Merton in fact a scholar? And if "prolific" measures output, I dare say that somewhere some Catholic writer, good or bad, outdid him.But I should read the book.
I wondered about that, too. Ronald Knox wrote quite a bit, probably more than Merton. Better, too.
