À propos de cet audio

 Ask a college student today what he knows about the Catholic Church and his answer might come down to one word: "corruption". But that one word should be "civilization".

Western civilization has given us modern science, the wealth of free-market economics, the security of law, a sense of human rights and freedom, charity as a virtue, splendid art and music, philosophy grounded in reason, and innumerable other gifts we take for granted. But what is the ultimate source of these gifts? Best-selling author and professor Thomas E. Woods, Jr., provides the answer: the Catholic Church.

No institution has done more to shape Western civilization than the two-thousand-year-old Catholic Church and in ways that many of us have forgotten or never known. Woods' book is essential reading for recovering this lost truth.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"I recommend Professor Woods's book not only to anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church, but also to any student of the history and development of Western civilization." (Dr. Paul Legutko, Stanford University)

the book was very interesting and provides an almost entirely unheard (today) perspectiveon the catholic church. The author seems very objective and fair in his analysis and clearly makes a solid case in my opinion.

intresting and fair

Woods has produced a much-needed response to the logical positivists and historians that worship the State. Ironically, many of my agnostic physics and engineering professors made some of the same arguments and took up the same defense of the Catholic Church.

Calumny of the church is a pastime for many. This is a good study in history that gives a better witness.
