Just a Matter of Faith?
by Harley Berger, Vice-President
Christianity, form its earliest days, has played an integral part in
shaping western civilization. Consider its impact on the Roman Empire, the
Crusades, the exploration of the new world and the conversion (some would
say conquest) of its native peoples. From its beginnings two millennia ago
through the present, the church has been a major influence in the course
of history and the lives of countless millions. Let's face it, regardless
of your personal religious beliefs, the history of Christianity has in one
way or another impacted every one of us.
Join us on Sat, July 16 when our guest speaker will be Father Francisco
Radecki of St Joseph's Church in Wayne. Father Radecki has recently
co-authored, along with his identical twin brother Father Dominic Radecki
"Tumultuous Times," a highly researched and detailed history of the
Catholic Church, from the first Ecumenical Council in the year 325 to the
Second Vatican Council (Vatican II), in 1964.
Father Radecki will touch on many relevant topics including Sources of the
Scriptures and what was left out of the bible and why, Popes and
Antipopes, Councils and "Pseudo" Councils, and other critical events in
the history of the church. |
