It just goes on and on.... I point out that I have described the historical and doctrinal falsehood of Goldberg's theory; that I have made it clear that Fascism contradicts the ideological bases of Socialism; that it was actually invented by the enemies of Socialism to try and steal the thunder of their enemies, while completely denying everything that Socialism was about; and still someone charges me with not answering Goldberg at all! Great God in Heaven, what more do I have to do? Either I have suddenly been struck with an utter incapacity to articulate - or, well, someone does not hear because she does not want to hear.
Either way, I have had enough. A few weeks back, I was given a link to a very negative review of CS Lewis' theology. Among other charges, the author said that Lewis did not take the Eucharist seriously. At which point, I found myself asking, what more did Lewis have to say to show that he did? The Eucharist is the highest thing we will meet in our lives; it is beyond our understanding; it is supernatural; it is the presence of God. All of these are statements to be found in Lewis' writings. But evidently, if you are determined not to see any Eucharistic belief in Lewis, you will not see. And if you are resolute to see no doctrinal or historical refutation of Goldberg's thesis in my articles, you will not see it.
