As a kid, I was forced to go to Church every Sunday. In my senior year of high school, I gave up faith and religion altogether and embraced being agnostic.

Why Be Catholic? is not exactly my journey, but it is the journey of the Church. This book will help you make sense of the logical and historical realities that reveal how and why the Catholic Church is who She says She is.

Following the Society from 1540 through 1565, O'Malley shows how this sense of mission evolved.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton has become synonymous with modern Christian apologetics. But his impact goes beyond just those interested in a defense of Christian thought. His writings have influenced such diverse authors as C.S. Lewis, Marshall McLuhan, and Jorge Luis Borges, and remains a subtle and unseen presence in contemporary Catholic thought. At his funeral, Ronald Knox said "All of this generation has grown up under Chesterton's influence so completely that we do not even know when we are thinking Chesterton."

The enduring influence of the Catholic Church has many sources, but in the first half of the 19th century, the foundations upon which the church had rested were shaken. For many people, liberalism in the guise of liberty, equality, and fraternity was the quintessence of the evils that shook those foundations. At the Vatican Council of 1869-1870, the church made an effort to set things right by defining the doctrine of papal infallibility. Author John W. O'Malley draws us into the bitter controversies over papal infallibility that at one point seemed destined to rend the church in two.

We must merely open our hearts to receive Him and His loving presence.

Because we have ignored the fundamental laws of existence. In Numbers Don’t Lie, author Ignatius West offers a revolutionary approach to the spiritual life: using the unchangeable certainty of mathematics to reveal the eternal truths of the soul. ...
