Chairman Mao, the founder of the Red Dynasty, proudly referred to himself as wu fa wu tian-a Chinese phrase meaning that...

This book, [Benson] writes, "is intended for the 'man in the street,' who, after all, has a certain claim on our consideration, since Jesus Christ came to save his soul." And for the man in the street, the greatest obstacle to accepting the truth of the Catholic Faith lies not in an intellectual inability to understand the arguments of the most sophisticated of theologians, but-as G.K. Chesterton argued in Orthodoxy-the loss of the imaginative ability...
