You mean "another thing in common with some catholic prelates ? "

This theologian is not really what you would call a complete stranger. Even though he is not known to the average educated man/woman , his name is a "household name" in philosophical & theological circles around the world, and not only in France.
This prompted me to check in the abundant secondary litterature related to his works to see if any second-rank philosopher had ever spotted the originality of his hygienic standpoint. But so far I haven't found a single enlightened comment on this matter !
Not a single one. Amazing, given that the paleo idea has been around for quite a bit of time.
Of course if you are not familiar with raw paleo, you may read the whole thing as a mere bunch of desultory and outdated remarks. But once you read this piece with "paleo glasses", you cannot help but think that this guy is simply 500 years ahead of his time........
And you start thinking :
"What the hell have all our fucking scientists been doing in the meantime to make so little progress......? Just count the layers of crap which they have dumped on this hygienic tradition, so that no one dares to take a serious look on the matter !"
To be fair, on second thought, it seems the same can be said of the various christian churches : "what the hell have they done in the meantime to clarify this all important matter ?"
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind........
