A Thread of Scarlet Gordon Reader in Theology at BlackfriarsBy Bruce Marshall Lon Bloys The Pilgrim of the Absolute offers one of the epigraphs to A Thread of Scarlet: When we are not talking to God or for God, it is to the devil that we speak, and he listens to us in a formidable silence. Donald Campbell, convert to Catholicism, confronts this conditional dailyfor he is a priest. And as the devil says to the priest in Georges Bernanos Under the Sun of Satan, I have you all numbered. Not one of you escapes me.
