A Catholic Perspective: Physical Exercise and Sports

by Robert Feeney

Robert Feeney This book is a new and spiritual way of looking at exercise and sports. It offers a sound philosophy of sport with insights from St. Thomas Aquinas on exercise. This book is easily the best and most thorough volume on the subject. Illustrated with 50 photos of Olympic greats, John Paul II, Pier Giorgio Frassati and others. “This collection of Catholic wisdom is timely indeed and will surely prove helpful to Catholic coaches and sportsmen, and to everyone interested in healthy play and honest competition. I commend Robert Feeney’s attempt to explain the distinctively Catholic view of sport.” —George Cardinal Pell, Archbishop of Sydney, Australia
