Fides_et_Ratio Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Has your group read any Chesterton? Because, if you've all read C.S. Lewis, and skipped over G.K. Chesterton... you're all in BIG trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ave Maria Totus Tuus Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) I just finished [i]John Paul the Great[/i] by Peggy Noonan. For those of you who don't know who she is, Peggy Noonan was President Reagan's speechwriter, and has written several books about Reagan and his administration ([i]What I Saw at the Revolution[/i], [i]When Character was King[/i]) I had no idea she was Catholic, but she is. And obviously working as a writer and with the Reagan administration, she had opportunities to meet Pope John Paul II, and covered many events with the Pope. This book is very personal about how John Paul was integral to her faith journey, and I really enjoyed this. I encourage you all to check it out.

Brother Adam Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) [quote name='zunshynn' date='Mar 15 2006, 10:04 PM']What is Open Letter about? [right][snapback]913006[/snapback][/right] [/quote] It's by the excommunicated Archbishop Lefevbre, founder of the SSPX, a group in schism with the Catholic Church. It is not a good read, at least not a Catholic read. That said, Divine Madness by Josef Pieper Edited March 16, 2006 by Brother Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
