I DO appreciate comments and dialogue here ... To your question "Do you find it has moved to a “Catholic” perspective yet or…" My answer is <em>completely</em>. Quite <em>startlingly</em> so. Despite the fact that some twenty years separates the mid-40's Jurisprudence writings from the mid-late 60's, early 70's Catholic writings you mention, these Jurisprudence theses have far more in common with them, than with the writings that preceded them by a mere six years or so. It is clear in ideas and language that Valentin Tomberg has startlingly and radically changed . He is now speaking of things like the need for the "salvational truths of Christendom" unheard of before. Yes, so very different in such a short time! Good to hear from you again, Edwin.
