The Irony of Modern Catholic History: How the Church Rediscovered Itself and Challenged the Modern World to Reform Hardcover - 2019
by George Weigel
- New
- Hardcover
Throughout much of the 19th century, both secular and Catholic leaders assumed that the Church and the modern world were locked in a battle to the death. The triumph of modernity would not only finish the Church as a consequential player in world history; it would also lead to the death of religious conviction. But today, the Catholic Church is far more vital and consequential than it was 150 years ago.
