Dickens-are woven together to create an illuminating whole. Also available as an e-book.

Catholics and the Culture of War

Catholic apologist and radio host Tim Staples demonstrates how

We can regain lost ground. We can win the battle for our culture.

The Best Books I Read in 2012

by 35 authors, editors, and contributors







Another year, another tantalizing list of good and great books noted
and recommended in this eighth edition of "Best Books I Read..." We've
invited a wide range of authors and editors to contribute. The books
chosen did not have to be published in 2012, nor did they have to be
about a specific topic. Simply, "What were the best books you read in
the past year?" No limit was set on the number of books, and commentary
was optional.







Homiletic & Pastoral Review

Social Justice According to Pius XI

by Thomas Storck







The term “social justice,” though common enough today, is little
understood by most of those who use it—whether they consider themselves
friends and practitioners of social justice, or they regard it as a
suspect term of probably socialist origin.  But the term does have a
precise meaning. That meaning and the significance of this concept of
justice, were carefully explained by Pius XI, the pontiff who introduced
it into the corpus of Catholic social teaching.  In many respects it is
the key term and concept of Catholic social teaching. All the
other aspects of the Church’s social doctrine—such as the principle of
subsidiarity, the just wage or the right to private property—are related
to social justice, and rely on the existence of social justice.  Pope
Pius, who reigned from 1922 to 1939, introduced the term into Catholic
teaching in his encyclical, Studiorum Ducem (1923). He later made extensive use of it in two important social encyclicals: Quadragesimo Anno (1931) and Divini Redemptoris
(1937).  But, before taking a close look at the exact meaning of social
justice, let us try to clear away some confusions over justice itself,
especially as contrasted with charity.
