"I am the product of priests", Lacan once said of himself. Educated
by the Marist Brothers (or Little Brothers of Mary), he was a pious
child and acquired considerable, personal knowledge of the torments
and cunning of Christian spirituality. He was wonderfully able to
speak to Catholics and to bring them around to psychoanalysis.
Jesuits flocked to his school. Freud, an old-style Enlightenment
optimist, believed religion was merely an illusion that the
progress of the scientific spirit would dissipate in the future.
Lacan did not share this belief in the slightest: he thought, on
the contrary, that the true religion, Roman Catholicism, would take
in everyone in the end, pouring bucketsful of meaning over the ever
more insistent and unbearable real that we, in our times, owe to
science. - Jacques-Alain Miller
