Description
A Centenary Meditation on a Quest for "Purification" Gone Mad Gardone Lectures (2018) by John C. Rao This collection of lectures explores the complex history of Catholic Christianity in the aftermath of World War I, examining the tensions between traditional values and modernizing forces. The author's work is rooted in his involvement with the Roman Forum, a Catholic academic organization that seeks to defend the Church's teachings against contemporary challenges. The 2018 Summer Symposium, which inspired this book, marked the centennial of the armistice that ended the "War to End All Wars". The symposium's theme, "The Fittest and the Weakest: The Interwar Era, the Foundations of Late Modernity, and the Resilience of Catholic Christianity", reflects the era's complexities and contradictions. This book provides a historical introduction to this theme, drawing on the work of an international faculty. With its focus on the intersection of history, religion, and culture, this book offers a nuanced exploration of a pivotal moment in modern history.
