Description

Belloc’s thesis: Europe is the Faith, and the Faith is Europe. From Rome to the modern fracture, a Catholic reading of the West’s spine. Europe and the Faith is history as argument — culture, Christendom, the cost of forgetting the altar. Belloc will not let the Reformation be a mere chapter. The thesis is partisan and clear: take away the Faith and you do not keep the same Europe. History as a Catholic dare. Rome to the fracture, written as a Catholic dare, not a textbook.

Author

He was known as a writer, orator, poet, sailor, satirist, man of letters, soldier and political activist. His Catholic faith had a strong impact on his works.
