Watch Recordings of Authors' Presentations
Sunday, May 23, we welcomed Catholic author Timothy Gordon. Gordon's book, Catholic Republic, addresses how America was "wired Catholic, labeled Protestant, and is currently functioning as secular." He articulates the precarious position of our nation because, "If you reject Catholic Natural Law, then you can't make or maintain a republic." Gordon's comments, as well as answers to questions from the audience at Cog Hill, can be seen in their entirety here. Fascinating food for thought!
On Saturday, Feb 27, Russ Wenzel, author of “Why Your Children Won’t Get to Heaven,” presented the genesis of his book – a look at his mother’s pursuit of the Latin Mass following Vatican II, and the impact changes in the Church have had on later generations’ faith. The path to the book's ultimate purpose, and the research on the state of the Church done years in advance is explained. Recording can be found here.
