Mike P asks if Merton ever talked about Margie.Well,I do not know who Margie was but I do know that Merton taught at Saint Bonaventure's before Pax Intransibus to Gethsemani A book authored by Brother Patrick Hart covers his pre-monastic days amd shows scribblings of nude women made by Merton.Merton has been viewed as a Saint Augustine for our modern times. Anyway he would not have talked about Marge-the Trappist monks did not talk to one another.Merton's MY ARGUMENT WITH THE GESTAPO and CONJECTURES OF A GUITY BYSTANDER are works that are of pdychological import. But Mike P should be familiar with Dorothea Day who worked with the poor at the bowery in NYC.She published the Catholic Worker newspapr..A copy was only a penny.Dorothy apparently had an abortion when she was a teen.But like St.Monica (St.Augustine's mom) Dorothy converted to Caholicism and was a dedicated church goer. Well, back to contemplation. 'My Lord God,I have no idea of where I am going' Thomas Merton.
