How would I write an autobiography of myself? Would I be be willing to show my warts to all who would be interested as a form of exhibitionism for voyeurs? Could I get myself out of the way to be honest so that picture I drew would be an image others might recognize? Or, would I reveal here to now mysteries of my inner life to others to make myself more actual to the reader?
These questions show how hard it was was fr Paul to tell about his life to those who would be critical of his words and thoughts. There is an audacity in his self-presentation, with a dash of arrogance -- only a dash -- for being clear about who Christ is for his life. We are never able to get away from Paul's person (not personality).
