From wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G…..er_Harding

Blatty derived his Merrin from "Lankester" Harding, Dead Sea Scroll archeologist, as well as from Teilhard de Chardin, the French priest-paleontologist (with a pinch of Jungian theory as well).

Hope you find this as interesting as I do :)

Yes.  I attended a Catholic college in the 1970s.  Teillhard was very popular (posthumously) with Catholics trying to reconcile their faith with science.

Thanks for your reply … this also brings to mind another novelistic, cinematic Teilhard figure – Pere Telemonde from Morris West's The Shoes of the Fisherman. The film did a good job of conveying some of the theological difficulties Teilhard encountered …
