Re: Henri de Catt

One thing I have to say I've *always* been highly skeptical of is Catt's reports of Fritz's uncertainty around the idea of immortality of the soul, prophecy, etc. This is coming from a diehard Protestant who would *love* to believe Fritz wasn't *really* convinced of his materialism.

But, but!! Selenak just posted us that lovely set of Fritz-Wilhelmine letters where he seems pretty certain that he doesn't have an immortal soul. Like, certain enough that he doesn't even need to be particularly vehement about it, which to me is a pretty big indicator.

That is to say, (a) yup yup Catt seems to be an incredibly unreliable source, and (b) all hail [community profile] rheinsberg, omg this is making finding things SO much easier.
