Sorry about the problems with the previous posts. I wish there were an effective way to convey the life--lay and monastic--of the Middle Ages. Not to mention the culture of the Early Church. - W.

I have had many of Dawson's works on my to-read list; now I'll be sure to dive into them. - MSR Mon, 09 Mar 2009 21:18:04 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/living-tradition.html#comment-768 Considering the state of deconstructed history taught in schools today, when Columbus is considered to be a savage conquerer of a peaceful people at the behest of the Catholic monarchs of Emperial Spain, I would doubt many students have had contact with Dawson. His "Dynamics of World History," would not fit the present self-deprecation of Western culture. It is a shame because his concepts on the influence of Christianity on Western Culture are noteworthy. Concepts now rejected by Europe. - William Dennis Mon, 09 Mar 2009 11:29:16 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/living-tradition.html#comment-769 I doubt very much that this is what McInerney and Michael Novak have in mind, but the title of their series touches on a hope of mine, that the Catholic cultural elite will devote much more thought to to the cultural and religious formation of our children, whose minds are still plastic and innocent. Catholic Family Classics of that type would have only titles that would be readable to the entire family in the evening. Titles suggested in a following post. - Lee Gilbert Mon, 09 Mar 2009 10:24:17 +0100
