This new book shows how the Church is facing the challenges of today’s culture with truths that are ‘ever ancient, ever new”. In our time, the Catechism and papal teaching have taught in powerful ways what it means to be human as vibrant living and not just biological existence. The Catholic Church has a duty to remind the world of this rich wisdom and Father Babendreier has done that very well indeed.” Fr.
