Why Catholics Need More Practice: Essays Concerning Catholics, Man, Sanctity of Life, Culture and Politics John E Wright

This sprawling collection of essays prepared by an aged culturally and religiously traditionalist throwback covers politics, culture, religion, Catholicism, the miracle and the sanctity of human life and the growing divide that smolders in the spread of materialistic secular humanism. The author's assigns the divide to the fundamental premise of America, freedom. He regards the American promise of freedom as the basis for a natural, inevitable and likely insurmountable divide in a pluralistic constitutional democratic republic. Since the advent of materialistic secular humanism in the nineteen sixties, roughly half of America has eschewed traditional values and has absorbed relative measures of what is acceptable and unacceptable, if you will, right and wrong. Some essays are harsh judgmental and in the view of author, true.
