Old Errors and New Labels
by
This book, the author wrote in 1931, is an attempt to judge contemporary ideas in the field of morals, religion, science, evolution, sociology, psychology and humanism in the light of the philosophical daylight called 'common sense.' If at times it criticizes certain views on the grounds of their unreasonableness, it does so to prepare for a view which seems more reasonabl

In only three words? A MUST READ.
There are perhaps few who could claim to have made a masterpiece in their lifetime, and even less who can claim to have made two or three more. Venerable Fulton J. Sheen is one of these few greats.
First published in Written in 1931, 'Old Errors and New Labels' is one example of how prophetic Fulton Sheen can be. As you read on, you'll see why you'd be forgiven for thinking this book was written in 2014, not 1931.

A must read. In these short essays, the venerable Archbishop brings his unique depth and simplicity to the great questions of the day with surprising accuracy - considering the book was first published in 1931. Everything from paganism to scientism to homosexuality and laziness is addressed. The essay on education is top notch - all of my teachers will be reading it at the beginning of the coming year. Just amazing!
Overview of reoccurring social ideas and thoughts that happen in every age and take a new name each time they arise.
Utterly prophetic! I highlighted many things, some visible on goodreads and some not, and will be going back over them again. I highly recommend this book. Any review I could write wouldn’t do it justice.
Con un estilo elegante, a veces complicado, publicado en 1931, el autor presenta una evaluación de «ideas contemporáneas en el campo moral, religión, ciencia, evolución, sociología, psicología y humanismo» usando un enfoque de sentido común.
Con eso intenta mostrar que lo que «a menudo es llamado "moderno" es solamente una nueva etiqueta de un error viejo y lo que es calificado como "pasado su tiempo" es en realidad "más allá del tiempo" y fuera de modas, como la verdad y la tabla de multiplicar» ...more

“Many a modern preacher is far less concerned with preaching Christ and Him crucified than he is with his popularity with his congregation. A want of intellectual backbone makes him straddle the ox of truth and the ass of nonsense. Bending the knee to the mob rather than God would probably make them scruple at ever playing the role of John the Baptist before a modern Herod. The acids of modernity are eating away the fossils of orthodoxy.”

“there has sprung up a disturbing indifference to truth, and a tendency to regard the useful as the true, and the impractical as the false. The man who can make up his mind when proofs are presented to him is looked upon as a bigot, and the man who ignores proofs and the search for truth is looked upon as broadminded and tolerant.”
