Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, Mother Teresa humbly accepted it on behalf of the poorest of the poor to whom she joyfully dedicated her life.

The Catholic Church is on the threshold of a bold new era in its two-thousand-year history. As the curtain comes down on the church defined by the 16th century Counter-Reformation, the curtain is rising on the Evangelical Catholicism of the third millennium: a way of being Catholic that comes from over a century of Catholic reform; a mission-centered renewal honed by the Second Vatican Council and given compelling expression by Blessed John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.

Here is a call to a discipleship in mere Christianity - the business of taking God seriously.

In this course, Professor Joseph Pearce shows that Tolkien's own words about The Lord of the Rings being a "fundamentally religious and Catholic work" also apply to The Hobbit. Some readers mistakenly believe that The Hobbit is simply a children's story with little significance.

Our parents before us understood that strife is rarely far from even the best of us, and they girded themselves for warfare, actual and spiritual. Among the wisest of men who shepherded them was Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who won their hearts with his warm, engaging broadcast personality . . . but in secret he put on the armor of God. World War II thrust temptation, fear, danger, and death on the men and women Archbishop Sheen had formed through his popular radio shows in the 1930’s.

Chesterton was among the few in the West who could see the brewing ideological storms that would soon make landfall, not just in the form of world wars and totalitarianism but in the pervasive modern dehumanization that consumes us to this day. More than a century ago, Chesterton perceived the beginnings of “woke capital” and how it aligns with and promotes social progressivism. There is an unspoken alliance between big business and progressives, he explains.

That’s just a glimpse into the life of the Pope—one of the most visible, influential, and intriguing figures in the world. But there’s far more to the papacy than grand ceremonies and global headlines.

Se avessi, in modo improvviso e inaspettato, l'occasione di passare un po' di tempo a faccia a faccia con il Papa, cosa gli chiederesti? Proprio questa è stata l'esperienza straordinaria vissuta da Davide Banzato e raccontata nelle pagine di questo libro: in Vaticano per il suo programma I viaggi del cuore, don Davide mai avrebbe pensato di avere la possibilità unica di chiacchierare con il pontefice e porgli le domande che lui, e forse molti di noi, portava dentro di sé.
