In recent years the Catholic Church has gone through turbulent times with the uncovering of horrible abuse--abuse that persisted and which could have been prevented by many within the Church's own ranks. As a result many positive aspects of what the Catholic Church teaches and practices are now being overlooked, not just by the media, but by people in and out of the pews. This is not only unfortunate, but detrimental to society at large. As Donohue makes plain, the Church's teachings remain the best guide to good living ever adopted. Moreover, the content of these teachings defy today's typical ideological categorizations; the Church is decidedly conservative in matters of morality and compellingly liberal in social and economic affairs.
Always
willing to speak his mind and put up the good fight, Bill Donohue, the president
of the Catholic League, reminds readers of the great wealth of charity and wisdom
that exists in the Catholic tradition. In Why Catholicism Matters, he explores
the four Cardinal Virtues-Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance-and shows
us how the Church's best attributes can be applied to solve many of the biggest
problems society must confront today and in the future. From questions of liberty
and freedom, to the use of contraception and abortion, to the need for courage
in age of terrorism and religious intolerance, Donohue examines how goodness
and morality can affect the world in the centuries to come.
"The good society lies in waiting," Donohue writes, "but the
right recipe has been around for two thousand years. The more we learn about
the inspiring record of Catholic social teachings and their application to real-life
problems, the more likely it is that all of us will see how unfounded the negative
stereotypes of Catholicism really are. But first we need to be educated about
the glorious record of these teaching. Then we will know why Catholicism Matters."
"A
fresh and compelling look at how the teachings of the Catholic Church continue
to provide the best guide for a healthy, happy society. It reveals that the
Church gives an emphatic YES! to all that is good, noble and uplifting in the
human person."
- Cardinal Timothy Dolan
"A
must-read book for anyone who wants to understand the role Catholics need to
play in recovering key Christian virtues and renewing American society."
