The Historical-Critical Let Down

Mark Shea is at it again (see here). He is one of the very few Catholic authors I know that is intentionally seeking to advance the state of Catholic scripture scholarship by tackling what the Council actually said about studying the Holy Writ (see here, esp. Art. III), instead of just regurgitating the same old theories, guesses, & attendant errors. Well, him & the Pope, I suppose.

A releated must-hear: Fr. Zuhlsdorf's excellent website has a wonderful podcazt (see here) that includes, among other things, John Cleese reading from the Screwtape Letters regarding the historical-critical method.
