(urth) What's So Great About Ushas?

[Russell Wodell]

I don't think this debate is specifically about Christian and/or Catholic
dogma. I do think that Gene Wolfe is a devoute Catholic, and that by
infusing his work with careful moral ambiguity, thus triggering this debate,
he believes that he is encouraging his readers to do God's work.
