Hans Urs von Balthasar is *major.*
Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-88) was a Swiss theologian, considered to one of the most important Catholic intellectuals and writers of the twentieth century. 2005 marks the centennial celebration of his birth.
Incredibly prolific and diverse, he wrote over one hundred books and hundreds of articles.
See:
And then, for some grounding perspective, find some good critique of his theology by E. Orthodox.

I think I like this guy!! Check it out:
In the mid 1930s, as a Jesuit novice, the young Hans Urs was studying Scholastic theology at Fourvière, just north of Lyons. He found St Thomas Aquinas interesting enough, but what his professors seemed to have done to St Thomas was so boring that he eventually resorted to stuffing his ears during lectures in order to read something much more thrilling: the writings of St Augustine and the early Church Fathers.
 ha! I should try stuffing my ears during lectures... | | Back to Top | | |

Just say you have to go to the restroom, fold up a little toilet paper, add a few drops of water, and voila - cheap earplugs! (I've done it for practicing the violin - yes the violin next to my ears cause my ear to temporarily lose some hearing ability, that's why I plug 'em - and it works very well. Just cover it with your hair! )

Bill: "Yo Ted, say something profound, dude."
Ted: "Oh, yeah. Right. All we are...is dust in the wind dude."
Bill: ..."Dust".... "Wind" ... "Duuuude".
