Book Review: Dante Alighieri: Citizen of Christendom by Fr. Gerald G. Walsh, S.J.
“For We admire in him not only supreme height of genius but also the immensity of the subject which holy religion put to his hand. If his genius was refined by meditation and long study of the great classics it was tempered even more gloriously, as We have said, by the writings of the Doctors and the Fathers which gave him the wings on which to rise to a higher atmosphere than that of restricted nature. And thus it comes that, though he is separated from us by centuries, he has still the freshness of a poet of our times: certainly more modern than some of those of recent days who have exhumed the Paganism banished forever by Christ’s triumph on the Cross.” – Pope Benedict XV

Book Review: The 12 Steps To Holiness and Salvation – Complied from the Writings of St. Alphonsus Ligouri
