Michael S. Rose Libri

Exploring the intersection of classic literature and contemporary societal issues, this book highlights how themes such as fake news, genetic engineering, and totalitarianism have been addressed by past authors. It emphasizes the importance of cautionary tales in literature as a means to reflect on modern challenges and make informed decisions for the future. By examining these narratives, the book advocates for preserving humanity in an increasingly dehumanizing world, urging readers to learn from history to navigate present dilemmas.

Issuing a passionate denunciation of all those who don't conform to an orthodox, rigidly hierarchical conception of Catholicism, Rose (former editor of the St. Catherine Review) blames liberals and "humanistic" philosophy in the Catholic seminary system for all the ills of the Catholic Church. A major target of his wrath is what he views as a rampant homosexuality and permissiveness towards sexuality in general that he feels is undermining the sacred mission of the church. God-fearing orthodox applicants to the clergy are turned away, he claims, because the seminaries are too "new church." Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
