But again, in Wrights case, how does one explain a person who is
not from a Marian tradition having a visitation from the "Mother
Of God"? It is not something one would expect to hear from (frex)
a Baptist, much less an athiest raised in a (according to Wright)
non-Marian tradition.
But he grew up in a Christian culture, even if he personally was
raised in a non-Marian tradition.
Wright is an educated person ...
I would expect him to interpret his own, personal experience as
telling him the truth. Only if he not only learned but came to live
the notion that criticism from another culture is the best form of
error correction (to vary David Brin's statement slightly) would he
not believe a numinous experience that he himself had ...
"I went to St. John's College in Annapolis ...
This tells me that he knew about the Marian tradition. I spent a year
at St. John's daughter college in Santa Fe, NM. Certainly, it is a
good place. But please remember, besides reading Plato and Aristotle,
Marx and Freud, you read Catholic texts, the best there are.
