Abstract

This is a non-Catholic’s The Catholic as Historian by Donald D’Elia and Patrick Foley (well recommended) and, therefore, another erudite analysis of contemporary anti-transcendental existence, only Deathworks describes the end results of a world without Catholic history. Reiff writes that we live in a world of “permanent negation” (page 33)-the denial of the sacred and a relativity which basically means, “anything goes if you are loud enough”.
