A Cardinal visits the Anarchists

[C. G. Estabrook]

Whatever the editor of Les Temps Modernes meant by calling Bourdieu
"Science's Cardinal Ratzinger," the translator at least has got it a bit
backwards: Ratzinger is the Vatican's guardian of orthodoxy.  A former
reformer and co-author with the leading liberal Catholic theologian of the
20th century, Karl Rahner, Ratzinger was shocked by what he took to be the
disorder of the German '60s (his father was a Bavarian policeman), moved
ever rightward, and is the chief intellectual bodyguard of the present
bishop of Rome.
