This essay investigates the charism of Thomas Merton in the context of his work and the Catholic church. It touches on a host of issues, including the nature of his charism - including his gift for writing, teaching and communication - and how he employed this gift for building up the Catholic church, and spiritualism in general. A major theme investigated in the paper is the way in which Merton's charism made the message of Christ new, relevant and actual, and as such, how the hermit-writer led people of all types (except possibly the pietistic) to identify with him. We also investigate Merton's reaching out to the East, as he endeavored to stretch the bounds of his religion. 9 pgs. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
