Theologian Matthew Fox is mistaken in associating the Celtic spiritual tradition of St. Patrick with Teilhard de Chardin. Teilhard, the Frenchman, overcooks Celtic spirituality.
Ray Nogar writes:
The God of the strange world of Father Teilhard is not the one I have come to believe in. His is the God of the neat; mine is the God of the messy. His God governs with unerring efficiency; mine provides with inexcusable waste. His God is impeccably regular; mine is irresponsible. His God is the Lord of order; my God is the Lord of the Absurd.
[The Lord of the Absurd by Raymond J. Nogar, O.P., p. 126. Herder and Herder, New York, 1966.]
