Indeed, it offers us a rich treasure of insights about the nature of man, his eternal destiny, the sanctity of marriage, and the important role of the family in building a coherent and harmonious society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCatholic Social Teaching offers a unified worldview. What the Church says about the family is inextricable from what she says about the poor, and what she says about the Eucharist informs the essence of her teachings on education, the arts -- and even government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will step away from these pages with a profound understanding of the root causes of the ills that afflict our society, and -- thanks to Anthony Esolen -- you will be well equipped to propose compelling remedies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly an authentically Catholic culture provides for the stable and virtuous society that allows Christians to do the real work that can unite rich and poor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe must reclaim Catholic Social Teaching if we are to transform our society into the ideal mapped out by the Church: a land of sinners, yes, but one enriched with love of God and neighbor and sustained by the very heart of the Church's social teaching: the most holy Eucharist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnthony Esolen is a Princeton graduate, the author or translator of twelve books (including Dante's \u003ci\u003eDivine Comedy), \u003c\/i\u003e and a frequent contributor to \u003ci\u003eCrisis Magazine, First Things, Touchstone, Magnifiat, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCatholic World Report.\u003c\/i\u003e Dr. Esolen is widely praised as one of the best Catholic writers of our age.
