| Quotation | As for Maritain's book [Le Paysan de la Garonne, 1966], yes, I will speak to him about it. His criticism bears, above all, I believe, on philosophy not on politics, since he continues to remain in agreement with his radical friends, such as Saul Alinsky. Concerning Cardinal Roy [Archbishop of Quebec City], I am not as well informed as you think, since I do not know what it is about. But I did write to Dorothy Dohen, because her book has been criticized unfavorably by a writer who is nevertheless himself a liberal. |
