Ignatius Press megapost June 2007










I've received the Ignatius Press catalog for years. I've always appreciated the service that they've provided by translating Balthasar, von Speyr, de Lubac, and of course Ratzinger. But in the most recent catalog, I see something new: Sapientia Press of Ave Maria University.

Nice books by Peter Milward, Aidan Nichols, and others on Aquinas, Hopkins, Chaucer. This one from the website looks interesting also:

Mounier and Maritain - A French Catholic Understanding of the Modern World
by Joseph A. Amato


A study of Emmanuel Mounier, founder of Personalism, and Jacques Maritian, significant contributor to revival of Catholic thought and Thomism, and two generations of French Catholic intellectuals, this book examines the gulf between nineteenth century Catholic tradition and the twentieth-century European events.

From Schall on Benedict on Jesus:
The whole area of censorship in the Church was designed to protect the reader from those who claimed to speak in the name of the Church but who were in fact espousing something dubious or heretical. In a way, the effect of this much criticized system made it seem that no one could really tell us what he actually believed or thought. If a work was "censored" and we as readers knew it was censored, it might (or might not) be safe doctrinally. But the reader, knowing that the work in front of him was censored, remained, as a result, unsure whether the words he was reading were actually those of the author or whether the author really believed them even if they were valid from a doctrinal viewpoint.
