The Catholic Current

Fr. Robert McTeigue continues his "Novel Prophecies" series with Robert Hugh Benson's The Dawn of All, imagining a society where the Catholic faith shapes education, politics, and everyday life. Is Benson describing an impossible ideal, or reminding us of something we've forgotten? Father concludes with Weekend Readiness to help prepare you for Sunday Mass.
