Solzhenitsyn and Pope John Paul the II Were The Prophets of Last Century

Rod Dreher has a article up at the Dallas Morning News called Rod Dreher: Solzhenitsyn and Wojtyla, tragic prophets I think he hits it right on. He starts out saying :

Two men stood astride the 20th century as prophets without peer: Pope John Paul II and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Their experience and testimony contained and transcended the terrible truths of the bloodiest epoch in human history. And they died tragically – tragic, in the Greek sense: They were admired and even beloved. But largely ignored.

Ditto on the largely ignored.

Rod has a thread on this article and another interesting Q@A piece he has up that is getting some buzz at his blog here at Solzhenitsyn, JP2 + other columns of note

As always Rod columns are good even though many on his blog have me tearing my hair out. I look forward to the day that Rod Comes back to his native Louisiana. Perhaps he will return to St Francisville and open up some quaint Bread and Breakfast where he serves his guests Crunchy Con friendly organic vegatables grown in the front yard , spreading the Eastern Orthodox Faith inWest Feliciana Parish while continuing his insightful articles.
