Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Teilhardian ideas are at the root of the ""new religion"" laying waste the Catholic Church today. This brilliant scientist, mathematician and philosopher shows Teilhard's theory of the physical and spiritual evolution of all things (including God) to be scientifically fraudulent and philosophically impossible. Also explodes the theory of biological evolution. Absolutely refutes the notion that Catholic teaching should evolve in order to keep up with science. A brilliant work! 272 pgs, PB

2.0 out of 5 stars Monitum 2007, April 20, 2007
By P. Bentley (New Malden, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was published nearly twenty years ago, so it's a bit late in the day for a First Customer Review - but then Nature abhors a vacuum, so here goes.

"Teilhardism and the New Religion" by Wolfgang Smith is a full-blooded attack on Teilhard de Chardin; indeed back in 1988 the blurb claimed that "widespread circulation and reading of this book will easily be the coup de grace for Teilhardism". Well now - in 2007 Teilhardism is very much alive and kicking (try googling), and both Cardinal Ratzinger and Pope John Paul II have quoted Fr. Teilhard S.J. with admiration in their writings. And Cardinal Hume used to give copies of "Le Milieu Divin" to friends and acquaintances.

Possibly readers of this book were put off by two sins, one of omission, one of commission, on the very first page, headed "About Teilhard de Chardin".

Sin of Omission: in his summary of Teilhard's life from his birth in 1881 to 1922 the author mentions that Teilhard "developed his paleontological interests" when he went to Egypt (aged 24), but fails to mention that Teilhard's ruling passion from childhood onwards was geology. Smith only tells us that in 1922, "for a brief period he taught geology at the Catholic Institute". In fact Teilhard was Professor of Geology at the Institute, and was elected President of the French Geological Society.

Sin of Commission: Smith says, "His less-than-orthodox theological opinions, however, especially with reference to Original Sin, led to the termination of this employment and his de facto exile to China. Thus, in 1923, Teilhard came to Tientsin..." Wrong. Teilhard visited China in 1923, stayed for 16 months, returned and continued teaching at the Catholic Institute. It was in 1925 that his licence to teach at the Institute was revoked. 1925, not 1923. He returned to China in 1926.

And Wolfgang Smith at the time of writing was Professor of Mathematics at Oregon State University! One feels for his students... 2 + 2 = 5... 7 - 3 = 14...

Handle this book with sugar tongs.
