Tonight I had the privilege to hear Gary Wills, prolific author, Pulitzer Prize winner, and Professor Emeritus of History at Northwestern University. He spoke here at the University of Illinois about humans' relationship to the earth. He asserted, in agreement I'd say with St. Augustine and many others, that "everything created is a message." God speaks to us through the world of nature.
Wills is Catholic, although uncharacteristically so. Here's a five-minute clip of him startling Stephen Colbert with his thoughts about abolishing the priesthood.
