A Catholic reading list of a lifetime

Any directory like this is bound to have lacunae for no scholar can know everything. Nevertheless, Fr Hardon comes close. His learning was famously encyclopedic. He gives each author a couple of pages. He describes their lives,  their cultural context, their writings and then recommends some further reading. As the writers are listed chronologically you can get a sense of the flow of history and how one leads on to the next and how they influence one another.

This book is a Catholic reading list of a lifetime.

Over 400 Pro-lifers Paid Tribute to Joe Scheidler Saturday Night in Chicago

The Evening of Tribute to Joe Scheidler, organized by CPLS, was absolutely wonderful. 24 nationally recognized pro-life leaders took the podium and gave testimonials to Joe before an audience of over 400 guests who filled the gorgeous banquet hall. Their words were full of gratitude, inspiration and great humor.  Most of all—Joe had a great time and all who attended this wonderful event went home with their commitment to the pro-life cause re-kindled and strengthened–never to give up until the unborn are free and their right to life respected and protected in law!
