The Catholic "thing" - the concrete historical reality of Catholicism as a presence in human history - is the richest cultural tradition in the world. It values both faith and reason, and therefore has a great deal to say about politics and economics, war and peace, manners and morals, children and families, careers and vocations, and many other perennial and contemporary questions. In addition, it has inspired some of the greatest art, music, and architecture, while offering unparalleled human solidarity to tens of millions through hospitals, soup kitchens, schools, universities, and relief services. This volume brings together some of the very best commentary on a wide range of recent events and controversies by some of the very best Catholic writers in the English language: Ralph McInerny, Michael Novak, Fr. James V. Schall, Hadley Arkes, Robert Royal, Anthony Esolen, Brad Miner, George Marlin, David Warren, Austin Ruse, Francis Beckwith, and many others. Their contributions cover large Catholic subjects such as philosophy and theology, liturgy and Church dogma, postmodern culture, the Church and modern politics, literature, and music. But they also look into specific contemporary problems such as religious liberty, the role of Catholic officials in public life, growing moral hazards in bio-medical advances, and such like. The Catholic Thing is a virtual encyclopedia of Catholic thought about modern life.

Lord Jesus, Thou hast recommended us to love one another and Thou'hast given us a divine and supreme example of charity in renewing each day on the altar, by a mystic sacrifice, Thy august passion. Deign, then, in the name of this love which has made Thee die for the salvation of all men to apply to the souls who are expiating their faults in the fire of purgatory the infinite merits ot Thy precious blood. We acknowledge that, poor atid guilty as we are, we are unworthy to supplicate Thee for the souls of our brothers confirmed in grace. But Thou canst do everything, O Jesus! May a ray of eternal truth descend on our spirit, and on our hearts, that are fallen asleep in sin. Teach us to pray. Pour out upon us the divine life contained in Thy adorable heart. Strengthen us in faith, hope, and charity. Jesus, Saviour, always ready to hear us, have pity on the souls who have only their sufferings and our prayers to satisfy Thy justice. Deign to listen favorably to the petitions we humbly make to Thee for their relief and for Thy greater glory. Amen. Jesus, my God, I love Thee above all things. 50 days' indulgence.--Pius IX., May 7, 1854. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MASS. O holy Father, we struggle to go to Thee; we are laden with the weight of our iniquities, and our daily falls. O Son of God! renew in the blood of Thy sacred heart our failing strength. King of Glory, Conqueror of death, triumph over the resistance of our ungrateful and corrupt nature. O Holy Ghost, dissipate the darkness which surrounds our path; purify our lips, our hands, our thoughts, and our hearts; direct towards Thee our desires, our words, and all our actions, that we may be able to...

The central theme of 'The Social God' is the belief that God is social, and that both Christian prayer and Christian social action are rooted in the nature of God. Christian action in the fields of social justice and the political arena is rooted in Christian doctrine. 'The Social God' stresses the essential unity of doctrine and action, of prayer and politics, examining the Christian understanding of God and his relationship with the world. Kenneth Leech emphasizes the centrality of the Incarnation and reveals the other aspects of Christian spirituality, the dangers of a new fascism, and the need for a renewal of Christian theology.
