Great Works of the Catholic Revival

Table of Contents

The Prefiguration of T. S. Eliot's Conversion in "The Waste Land"Paula L. Gallagher

From the Ink Desk

C.S. Lewis and Friendsby Joseph Pearce

Further to my post about Shadowlands, I thought I'd share this e-mail just received from the organisers of an annual conference on C. S. Lewis and Friends, at which I've been privileged to speak in the past. Admirers of Lewis and Tolkien might want to consider attending.

Secular Fundamentalism and Religious Freedomby Joseph Pearce

Just received from Tony Ryan of Ignatius Press (see below).

From the Red Devils to the Priesthoodby Joseph Pearce

As an Englishman, I am passionate about football, i.e. soccer to those on the American side of the Pond. Ever since I was about seven-years-old, I've been a keen supporter of Chelsea, currently one of the best teams in Europe, though I've followed the team through the bad times when the team plumbed depths of ineptitude. One of Chelsea's biggest rivals are Manchester United, also known as the Red Devils, indicative no doubt of their infernal origins. In any event, I was greatly intrigued and encouraged to see that a former Manchester United player is now studying for the priesthood. It goes to show that there is life after death!
