An Essay by Fr. Schall: 13. On Being Roman Catholic

The lecture "On Being Roman Catholic" is an attempt to state briefly what the essence of Roman Catholicism is in distinction from other philosophies and religions.

From the Essay:

"The reason that properly belongs to Catholicism delights to hear any objection to its truth.  Such objections insight us to clarity and distinction.  Catholicism is a revelation confident in its own grounding and coherence."

"It is of the essence of Catholicism to be an intellectual religion.  On its own tenets it is not true if a case cannot be made for its validity."
