Social Catholicism for the Twenty-First Century?--Volume 1
This first of two volumes introduces the tradition of social Catholicism, not only in its earlier realizations, but regarding how a contemporary renewal might address the crisis in which constitutional democracies and the postwar liberal order are under assault by populist and even neo-fascist movements that could soon usher in a frighteningly dark future unless a broad movement in defense of constitutional democracy quickly arises. In this context, some of the most influential voices among American Catholics are focused on criticizing “liberal democracy,” on advocating a “postliberal order” and the establishment of a Catholic “integralist” state, or on insisting that abortion sh...
Studia Fabriana, Volume 1
In this first volume of the Studia Fabriana Series, we are pleased to present the Acts of the Fabro Symposium, which took place at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., on April 1st and April 2nd, 2016. It is our hope that these Acts, and the Studia Fabriana Series, will bring the thought of Cornelio Fabro into dialogue with modern philosophical discussions, providing new insights and guidance to the truth that all men long for.
John Henry Newman on Truth and its Counterfeits
Reinhard Hütter’s main thesis in this third volume of the Sacra Doctrina series is that John Henry Newman, in his own context of the nineteenth century, a century far from being a foreign one to our own, faced the same challenges as we do today; the problems then and now differ in degree, not in kind. Hence, Newman's engagement with these problems offers us a prescient and indeed prophetic diagnosis of what these problems or errors, if not corrected, will lead to—consequences which have more or less come to pass—and, furthermore, an alternative way which is at once thoroughly Catholic and holds contemporary relevance. The introduction offers a survey of Newman’s life and works and e...

Que me entierren con narcocorridos
Este libro nos cuenta la historia de la música y cultura que idolotra al narco, así como las vidas trágicas de quienes se atreven a ser sus interpretes. Muertes, desapariciones, tiroteos, miedo, odio, saña. Todo eso arrastra hoy a la sociedad mexicana por una decisión desatinada del poder, y no es para menos; lo cierto es que no existe ningún rincón del país libre de tensiones ni de violencia. Todo ello viene a cuento a propósito del libro Que me entierren con narcocorridos, del colega periodista Edmundo Pérez, en el que se documenta la barbarie -no se le puede llamar de otra manera- de violencia y muerte que enfrentan algunos actores del espectáculo, cantantes y gruperos de México. En éstas y en el resto de las historias que nos cuenta Edmundo Pérez hay emociones encontradas, tristeza y enojo al mismo tiempo. Quizá estas muertes nunca se aclaren, por eso cobra valía el trabajo periodístico de mi colega, quien con su esfuerzo nos sacude el interior y nos dice a la sociedad que no permitamos caer en la desmemoria.

On the Move!
"On the Move! Spanish Grammar for Everyday Situations is accurate, engaging, and pedagogically sound. The authors provide concise explanations of complex grammar and incorporate them into chapters organized by the presentation of cultural material relevant to major cities throughout the Spanish-speaking world. This is an innovative approach to teaching grammar in context that will be far more engaging for students than the dry, abstract, and lengthy explanations that one finds in other textbooks. . . . The approach is consistent with content-based teaching and compatible with expectations for the abilities of intermediate-level learners as described by ACTFL Proficiency Standards.” —Juli...
