With regard to the question about Percy’s Catholicism, it is worth bearing in mind his decision to become an oblate of St. Joseph’s Benedictine Abbey near his Covington home, as well as his desire to be buried in its cemetery. These decisions witness to a more than cursory interest in the historic Church’s sacramental view of Creation as well as the sturdy anthropology that goes along with it. They also suggest that his choices were rooted in his spiritual submission to something greater than himself rather than having been a series of acts of accommodation for things that he thought were compatible with himself.
