The Catholic Current

Father Robert McTeigue continues his "Novel Prophecies" series with Sinclair Lewis’ It Can't Happen Here, a novel that asks whether totalitarianism could take root in America. What should we be watching for, and what does it mean to remain faithful when the culture demands conformity? Father finishes with Weekend Readiness to help prepare you for Sunday Mass.
