If I've piqued your interest, you might want to come hear the lecture of Professor Thomas E. Woods, PhD., at St. John Cantius in Chicago on 8/29/07 after the Wednesday evening Mass. He's giving a talk entitled "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization", which is also the name of his bestselling book.
This talk is a fine opportunity to hear the truth about whether the Church is anti-science, or anti-progress, or narrow-minded.
This is a talk about the incalculable debt owed to the Catholic Church by anyone who appreciates the many niceties of Western civilization.
Dr. Woods is a historian with four Ivy League degrees. Better still, he's an orthodox Roman Catholic convert.
Dr. Woods is generously giving of his time to speak on a most interesting subject. Even though he's in town for another event at the University of Chicago, he is taking time out of his busy schedule to visit St. John Cantius. I encourage everyone in the area to try to attend this lecture. Let's give Dr. Woods a nice Chicago Catholic welcome.
We can go get pizza and an adult beverage across the street afterwards if anyone's interested.
The fascinating book "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization" (which Dr. Alice von Hildebrand called a "must-read") will be available for purchase. A goodwill offering for the Society of St. John Cantius is always welcome.
Who wouldn't want to hear this guy speak?
Come on over to Cantius and join the fun. You won't regret it.
St. John Cantius is located at 825 N. Carpenter Street in Chicago, where Carpenter, Ogden, and Milwaukee meet.
It's right off the CTA Blue Line "Chicago" stop.
The low Mass is at 7:30 PM, and Compline, the evening prayer of the Divine Office, is publicly and beautifully prayed/chanted by the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius immediately following Mass.
The lecture will follow Compline downstairs.
