Essays of a Catholic

by Hilaire Belloc · 1923

+ Want to read

Belloc turns his powerful mind, erudition, robust common sense and supreme confidence in the Catholic Faith to a host of topics, including The New Paganism, Legend, Usury, The Schools, The Two Cultures of the West, The Catholic Church and The Modern State, etc. Belloc predicted—and explains—the chaos we now witness. This brilliant work is a tonic sorely needed by Catholics today!
