Paradoxes of Catholicism

This historic collection of eleven apologetic sermons was delivered by Robert Hugh Benson (1871 - 1914) in England and the United States in the early 20th-century on the eve of World War I. The titles of the sermons are as follows:

I Peace and War
II Wealth and Poverty
III Sanctity and Sin
IV Joy and Sorrow
V Love of God and Love of Man
VI Faith and Reason
VII Authority and Liberty
VIII Corporateness and Individualism
IX Meekness and Violence
X the Seven Words
XI Life and Death

This work was published in London in 1913. At the time Benson had been appointed a Chamberlain to Pope Pius X and had earned the title of Monsignor.

These classic sermons have been augmented with illustrations of Robert Hugh Benson himself, along with images of the people and events he refers to in the text.
