writer, teacher and diplomat; he
has great perspective and ma
turity. He easily spans the space
between the culture and the
people on either side of the
North Atlantic.
The real beauty of these re
flections lies in their giving us
the opportunity to see ourselves
as others see us; its pleasant to
relate that he has a way of mak
ing what we see satisfying and
encouraging without the risk of
suggesting complacency. It is
heartening that, in his compari
sons, we do not come out too
badly, if badly at . all. From
Maritain’s viewpoint we have
much that is commendable, a
great deal that is enviable, and
we are en route to a profound
destiny, that of “clearing the
way for a new Christian civili
zation.”
Just one comparative note, of
religious character out of differ
ence to The Bulletin, which
should please—as it startles—
us all. Maritain detects a thirst
for spiritual life in this country;
we probably think of ourselves
quite differently. Europeans had
told him, he writes, that the
very idea of a Carthusian Char
terhouse in this country “was
completely ridiculous.” How do
we rate? What we see—compara
tively? he tells us that the Trap-
pist monastery at Gethsemani,
Kentucky, “alone has more
novices than all European
Trapps combined, and is obliged
to multiply new foundations;
the monasteries founded by var
ious contemplative Orders are
so crowded that they refuse can
didates for lack of room; and
there is a Charterhouse in this
country.”
