Interviewed today by high school students about Thomas Merton. Their first questions: Do I think Merton will be canonized? Do I think he *should* be canonized? Think I have found a theme for my talk for the International Thomas Merton Society next month. bit.ly/2X5B2S3

Remember what Lax said to Merton walking down 6th Ave about being a saint. Merton is there, people who understand the early patristic church understand Merton is a saint.
