i doubt many in the room would notice how his use of many less famous rishonim reflected the method of his illustrious father, the unique Gadol HaDor Rav Dr. Aharon Lichtenstein ztl.

1)His Father was versatile and even rather illustrious
still Isn’t it a stretch to call someone gleaned his life lessons from English literature A
Gadol HaDor?
and who admitted essentially that his modus vivendi T UM
is/was likely not based on any connection with reality and the real world?
2)Would any really care for
commentary from a fella who is OO!?
Are you are sure you really *know* Rav Lichtenstein’s intentions, did you ever see him davening on Yamim Noraim? Torah was his entire existence – when someone asked him why we learn Torah he instinctively shouted out “ki heim chayeinu v’orech yameinu!” Or do you feel the same way about the Rambam because he learnt Aristotle? I advise you not to judge people you simply do not understand.
yy,
a disciple showing loyalty for his Rebbi?
or a case of a johnny-come-lately Who once again believes he first to discover enlightenment ?
either way you will grow older and
work through the cognitive dissonance
