It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

There's no small amount of truth in that quip!

Pre-Vatican II at least, there was a saying, "The Study of History is the death of Protestantism."

So, having Jewish intellectuals of blue-collar origins force you to read The Great Books turned out to be more effective in gaining converts (among a certain self-selected pool) than Fulton Sheen's TV show... .

BTW, until I just read a book on the subject of "blue-collar intellectuals" I never knew that Ariel Durant was Jewish and she met literally excommunicated former seminarian Will when he was her teacher and she was: 14. The married when she was 15... .

They were together for what, 67 years?
