Merton a film biography summary form
•
More than eleven hundred fifty people from across America and around the world have signed on to a letter drafted and sponsored by the International Thomas Merton Society, requesting that a brief biographical portrait of Thomas Merton be restored to the new American Catholic Catechism, to be published by the United States bishops in 2006. The letter is addressed to Bp. Donald Wuerl, chair of the group that composed the catechism, and has been sent as well to other members of the catechism committee and to U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops president Bp. William Skylstad.
The letter was prompted by a November 2004 interview with Bp. Wuerl in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (see www.post-gazette.com/pg/04324/ 414174.stm) reporting that Merton, who had originally been profiled in the opening chapter of the catechism, had been removed in the final draft, reportedly because ?the generation we were speaking to had no idea who he was,? according to Bp. Wuerl. ?Only secondarily did we take into consideration that we don?t know all the details of the searching at the end of his life.? The article reported that Merton ?is rejected by conservative Catholics who believe his later interest in Buddhist forms of prayer compromis

For other people named Robert Merton, see Robert Merton (disambiguation).
Robert King Merton (born Meyer Robert Schkolnick; July 4, 1910 – February 23, 2003) was an American sociologist who is considered a founding father of modern sociology, and a major contributor to the subfield of criminology. He served as the 47th president of the American Sociological Association.[1] He spent most of his career teaching at Columbia University, where he attained the rank of University Professor. In 1994 he was awarded the National Medal of Science for his contributions to the field and for having founded the sociology of science.[2][i]
