"May the Holy Spirit make you creative in charity, preserving in your commitments, and brave in your initiatives, so that you will be able to offer your contribution to the building up of the 'civilization of love.'"-POPÉ BENEDICT XVI, World Youth Day 2007 "Anderson performs somé intellectual heavy lifting in these pages, but at its core his message is utterly simple: Christians will make America into a culture of life and love more by their personal example than by political muscle.

Give this book to friends who say there's nothing to be done to heal a wounded culture." -GEORGE WEIGEL, distinguished senior fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center "Few elements of Catholic social teaching have been more forcefully stated, or more regularly ignored, than our calling to bring Christian teachings to bear on social, political, and economic issues. Carl Anderson, the dynamic leader of the largest Catholic laymen's organization in the United States, seeks to bring that message home." -MARY ANN GLENDON, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard University "Anderson has written a book brimming with insights into the transforming power of Christian faith. A Civilization of Love is both a call to personal holiness and a handbook for Catholics who are prepared to take seriously Christ's command to his disciples to be 'salt and light' in the world." -RÓBERT P. GEORGE, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Princeton University Vissza
