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)

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.

About Time

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

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

A very good review

This was for me a true enlightenment and was both uplifting and illuminating. Thank you.

The Real Enlightenment

This book will make no sense to you unless you firmly believe in the catholic version of God and and the catholic religion.

The author represents a very arrogant position, just as one example, he claims that the reason science came from catholicism is because catholics had the correct understanding of God as the creator of the universe; the Chinese, for example couldn't achieve "proper" science because of the lack of this believe in the "true" God......WHAAAAT?!?

So much fiction presented as truth

This book is basically a history of the last 2000 years if the Catholic Church were the main character. Was hoping for an insightful look at the underpinnings of western culture and the church’s role in it. Instead it’s basically a list of reasons to pat the church on the back and never criticize it again.

What on earth did I just read
