Quotation for our Times
“Dear friends, may no adversity paralyze you.
Be afraid neither of the world,
nor of the future,
nor of your weakness.
The Lord has allowed you
to live in this moment of history
so that, by your faith,
his name will continue to resound
throughout the world.”
Pope Benedict XVI
World Youth Day 2011
Triumph
Subtitle: The Power and the Glory of the Catholic Church.
In Triumph Crocker presents a definitive history of the Catholic Church from Biblical times and the early days of St. Peter to the twilight years of John Paul II. He examines the controversies that have affected the Church - the Inquisition, the Renaissance Popes, the Church's role in World War II - as well as its many triumphs.
This is a sweeping drama of Roman legions, great crusades, epic battles, toppled empires, heroic saints, and enduring faith. There are stormy controversies: Dark Age skullduggery, the Inquisition, the Renaissance popes, the Reformation, the Church's refusal to accept sexual liberation, and other contemporary allegations.
A brawling, colorful history of inspiring pageantry and spirited polemic, Triumph will exhilarate, amuse, and infuriate as Crocker extols the glories of Catholic history and the stories of its great men and women.
