The Lord

Regretfully, I had to stop reading Romano Guardini’s The Lord, a hundred or so pages in. This is probably the third or fourth book of his I’ve tried to get through. From what I’ve read about him, and what I’ve read written by him, he was a very devout Catholic priest and writer (he died in the late 1960s). I just don’t get him, and I know it’s my fault. I can’t specifically put my finger on the reason why, other than perhaps it’s too much for me. His writings are too lofty, too spiritual, too esoteric, while I’m searching for something more nuts-n-bolts, grounded, historical.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Or it could be a question of finding the right translation.

I’ll try him again in half-a-decade or so.
