William J. Slattery, Ph.D., S.T.L., was ordained to the priesthood by Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Basilica in 1991. He has given Ignatian retreats in English and French in North America and has written a work on the formation of priests, soon to be published, while residing at the Pontifical North American College in Rome.
I am happy to recommend Fr. William Slattery's book . . . [about]
the ethos of heroism and genius that inspirited the builders of
Christian civilization-and that can inspire the builders of another
Christian culture in the future, whether in Africa, Asia, Europe or
the Americas.
-- Cardinal Robert Sarah, Author, God or Nothing and The Power of
SilenceThis book is the excellent fruit of Fr. Slattery's years of
serious scholarly study of the great men who have made history
because they loved the Catholic faith and gave witness to it in
every aspect of their lives. His work not only permits us to know
them in depth but also inspires us to follow in their footsteps for
the transformation of our times.
-- Cardinal Raymond Burke, Author, Hope for the World: To Unite All
Things in ChristFr. Slattery's book is the final blow to the
Enlightenment's version of Western history, in which the Church was
nothing but an obstacle to progress. I heartily recommend it.
-- Thomas Woods, Ph.D., New York Times Best-Selling Author, The
Politically Incorrect Guide to American History and How the
Catholic Church Built Western CivilizationThis extraordinary book
is an essential read for anyone desiring to understand where we
have come from and where we presently are, what we were saved from
and what we are in grave danger of losing.
-- Michael D. O'Brien, Author, Father Elijah: An ApocalypseFr.
Slattery's insightful depictions of the chaos within the collapsing
Roman society and the brutality of the invading barbarians
highlight the awe-inspiring gifts, generosity, and courage of those
priests of Jesus Christ who invented Western civilization. The
light of Christ they brought into the darkness of the early Middle
Ages became the blazing fire of Christendom, and priests stoked and
guided that fire into the modern age.
--Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J., Author and Host, EWTN LiveFr. Slattery's
book on true heroism shows us that holy courage and love is what
made countless clerics so pivotal in the Western world.
-- Fr. David Meconi, S.J., Professor of Patristics, St. Louis
University; Editor, Homiletic & Pastoral ReviewHeroism and Genius
will open windows to unknown vistas of history--and in a delightful
way. As one travels through the chapters there is a sensation of
climbing a mountain and being exposed to ever vaster panoramas of
thrilling landscapes.
-- Cardinal Walter Brandmüller, President Emeritus of the Vatican
Committee for Historical Sciences
