Wisdom from Fr. Rutler

For three decades,
Fr. George Rutler has charmed
and enlightened millions through
his eloquent considerations of culture
and politics as well as theology
and everyday life.

His wit is outshone only by
his wisdom, making him not only
one of the most popular priests of
our day, but one of our most
celebrated thinkers.

In this four-volume set
are nearly 400 of Fr. Rutler’s most
brilliant and beloved writings, carefully
organized to follow the liturgical year
of the Catholic Church.

Like a Missal or breviary,
this collection begins at the start of
the Church year, in Advent, preparing
us for the birth of Jesus, and ends in the
last days of autumn as we pray to God
for the souls of the dead.

Along the way, Fr. Rutler’s clear
mind, sharp wit, and often blunt truths
afford a sometimes quirky, but always
delightful, grand tour of Catholic
theology, philosophy, history,
and current events.

Here you’ll come to know persons,
places, and things – obscure and
famous – from the beginning of
the world to the present day.
