This book attempts to reconcile Dignitatis Humanae (DH) with the constant teaching of the Church and starts out, in the foreword by Dr. Alan Fimister, by claiming that one who believes that DH contradicts Church teaching is an apostate!

| This book has the merit of making accessible to a wide audience the thought of Dom Gueranger. The original work is too long for most people today. The plan for this abridgement was done by Jean Vaquie in 1977 and the publishers just translated his sh ...more | |

"While a heavy subject, Fr. Robinson breaks down religion, science and the various philosophies behind each in such an easily-digestible way. I think this book should be a must-read for all college-bound students. It provides an excellent overview of "

logos; with Aristotle, logos destroyed mythos; with Aquinas, mythos perfected logos. This is no small reason to believe that Aquinas’s mythos was not mythology.”

“Krauss seems to think that if he describes how one thing comes from another, probing into smaller and smaller things, he will eventually come to nothing at the bottom of it all, as the cause of it all. But talking about how some things come from other things says nothing about how they can come from nothing.”

“In today’s climate, it is considered to be rational and
scientific when some material cause is ascribed to the origin of life: lightning, molecules on crystals, aliens who came from non-life. Ascribing a non-material cause to life’s origin, such as intelligence, on the other hand, is said to be irrational and unscientific. Intelligence is unintelligence, because only non-intelligence can be intelligent.”

“Of itself, natural selection is a small strip of explanation. When it is used to account for a little part of the body of reality, it does a fine job. But when it is stretched in an attempt to cover the whole of reality—when it is divinised—things quickly become ridiculous.
It is the very nature of the empiricist enterprise to extend material causes so far beyond their own proper domain that they are trying to cover being itself. That the nakedness of reality remains uncovered by such attempts is all too transparent.”
