For Lent Chuck returns to the profound and beautiful thoughts of Paul Claudel on The Apostles Creed. Many people who have read Paul Claudel (1868-1955) regard him as the greatest modern Catholic writer and poet. Yet he remains almost totally unknown, even to Catholics.

Do the humane laws of modern nations derive from English Common Law? This is often asserted. Are modern concepts of fair play and humane treatment of others the result of the slowly evolving trial-and-error improvement of standards of behavior? Maybe it was the Age of Reason. Or should we thank the Enlightenment? Or attribute it to the suppression of the “patriarchy”. Actually the advance in morality and laws occurred rather rapidly when our big Mother arrived.
