How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization $29.95 In the wake of Pope John Paul II's death, many are asking: What is the future of the Catholic Church? Given its recent scandals, students of theology might discount its influence on Western civilization and simply cast it off as a corrupt religion. That would be a big mistake; as New York Times bestselling author Thomas Woods chronicles in his book, the Church has had a pivotal role in shaping Western civilization for the last two thousand years. '' How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization uncovers the lost truth of the Church's contributions to our history, including: ' ' How the father of atomic theory, the father of aviation, and the father of Egyptology were all Catholic priests ' How Catholic priests developed the idea of free-market economics five hundred years before Adam Smith ' How the Catholic Church was the great defender of the sanctity of human life and the individual against the state ' How the Church invented charitable work"and the charitable spirit"as we know it in the Western world ' How the Church bestowed the most unique gift to the World"what we now know as the university ' 'In this magnificent volume, students and faithful alike will come to comprehend the Catholic Church's monumental impact on society and western civilization as a whole.'' '???Prof. Woods has put the Catholic Church squarely back where it should be: at the center of the development of the values, ideas, science, laws, and institutions which constitute what we call Western civilization.??? ' "Dr. Paul Legutko , Stanford University |
