When looking at the beautiful churches throughout the world, one notices that many of them, built in the classical tradition, have different and varied columns or pillars. The words “column” and “pillar” can be used interchangeably. The capitals, that is, the very top of the column, actually represent different types of people in the history of the Church.

Introduction
One of the most debated topics of Dante's epic masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, is his theology of Limbo. There are numerous theories regarding the possible salvation or lack of salvation for those in Limbo, especially the virtuous pagans. Two theories regarding what Dante says about the salvation of Limbo stand out. The first and most popular opinion of scholars is that those in Limbo are stuck there forever.

One day, as Bishop Fulton J. Sheen was walking down the street a small boy saw him and loudly told his mother “Look, Mom! It’s Superman!” Sheen wore his ferriola, a cape very similar to that worn by Superman.
Sheen recounted this incident on a number of occasions. He wrote about man’s fascination with superheroes in a collection of articles written for various periodicals titled On Being Human.

Dr. Holly Ordway has graced us with another wonderful addition to Tolkien scholarship. Tolkien’s Faith: A Spiritual Biography is unique among biographies of Tolkien in that it does not focus so much on the man’s famous and fictional writings, but on the man himself—and especially his Catholic Faith and spiritual life.
Ordway’s hope in writing this biography of faith is to be able to “gain a richer, deeper, more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of his writings—and their fundamental but ...

It should be noted from the outset of our treatment that the Assumption of St. Joseph is not a defined doctrine or dogma. It is a pious belief. The Church has not solemnly defined it nor has it declared it necessary to believe for salvation. It is our purpose here to offer a brief defense of St. Joseph's Assumption ba...

In the Catholic Church, the month of October is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. Many great saints and holy men and women have had a deep devotion to Mary and been especially committed to praying the Rosary. Fulton Sheen was one of them and indeed prayed the Rosary. In his book, The World’s First Love, he wrote that “the power of the rosary is beyond description.” In fact, Sheen thought the Rosary should be considered the greatest of the sacramentals.

For the clergy and the religious, and those who attend daily Mass and pray the Liturgy of the Hours of the Catholic Church, the “Our Father” prayer is recited at least three times a day. Once at Lauds (Morning Prayer), once at Vespers (Evening Prayer), and once during Mass. It is said five more times, once at the beginning of each decade if one prays the Rosary. Often we say it quickly and gloss over its rich and deep theological meaning.

In Rite and Man: The Sense of the Sacred and Christian Theology, newly republished by Cluny Media, Louis Bouyer shows how the Incarnation is at the heart of the liturgy. Bouyer, a noted theologian who is considered to be one of the major architects of the Second Vatican Council, begins by noting two differing views regarding the liturgy. He likens them to early Christological heresies. The first view on the liturgy he identifies with the Monophysites.

Written only a few years following World War II, Communism and the Conscience of the West surveys the philosophy of Communism. Sheen’s view of Communism is that it is not merely a political or economic system. Rather, it is a philosophy of life. Even more than that, Sheen calls it a religion.
