The Catholic Anthology: The World's Great Catholic Poetry reform and the common good

and the common good

throbbing with life in ancien régime France

We are all in Coulombe’s debt as we seek to find our way home

Years later

one that replaces the “heresy of activism” with the primacy of prayer and the power of contemplation

The Catholic Anthology: The World's Great Catholic Poetry reform and the common goodEd. Thomas Walsh. 602 pp. $25. 95. In the words of the editor: The Catholic Anthology is intended primarily as a selection of Catholic poems written by Catholics and bearing the impress of Catholic dogma, tradition and life; so that the editor has purposely chosen the completely Catholic utterances of his poets in preference, sometimes, to their pieces of general aesthetical charm.
