5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-Opener, May 4, 2002

By

This review is from: Liberalism Is a Sin (Paperback)

Liberalism Is a Sin is a powerful book written in Spain in 1886 and its content is more relevant today than when it first appeared. Although written from a Catholic perspective, this book is an eye-opener for catholics as well as for open-minded non-catholics. The moral depravity existing in our country today is a consequence of liberalism (pervasive in television, movies, literature, public and private morals) deeply enmeshed in our society. Liberalism asserts the sovereignty of the individual and social reason and enthrones Rationalism in the seat of authority. "It knows no dogma except the dogma of self-assertion." You will learn in this book that the non-logical thinking of liberalism which infects so many people today is the rebellion of the human intellect against God. This book contains the answers to the questions that people today are almost universally asking, "What has happened to our society? What is wrong?" I highly recommend this book..

5.0 out of 5 stars The second most enlightening book- after the Bible, October 7, 2002

This review is from: Liberalism Is a Sin (Paperback)

Before reading this book, I was neoconservative (often called a "classical" liberal). That is to say, I accepted the very basic principles of Liberalism while rejecting some of the more radical elements established during the 20th century. After reading this book, however, I can now say that I am a "classical" conservative. Don Sarda reveals in an easily understood manner the errors of Liberalism, especially how even the smallest amount of it is poisonous. Neoconservatism is just the first step in the process that produces the philosophies of communism, radical feminism, and other errors of "modern" society. Liberalism is a Sin articulates the idea of a Catholic state well, and explains how human reason is not and should not be the sole arbiter of what becomes law or what opinions we should hold. Though it was written well over 100 years ago, everyone, especially conservatives, should make it one of the books at the top of his or her to-read list- if only to see what 19th century conservative theory was like.

This review is from: Liberalism Is a Sin (Paperback)

I can hardly tell you how grateful I am to my friend Mario because recommended this superb book to me. I'm a traditionalist Catholic who has always seemed theologically ultraconservative. But Fr. Slavany has proved that liberalism had tained my thought about charity, i.e., Christian love. That love requires Catholics to denounce heresy and sometimes even heretics. Blunt denunciation can be charitable becaue it protects people from a heresies and from the proponent of heresies. If it hadn't been for Father Salvany, I probably would have kept believing my misconception about charity.

Today, when false ecumenism and other evils fool Catholics into thinking that they ought to be too conciliatory and to believe that non-Catholics have a God-given right to believe heresies, Father Salvany's book is a much-needed cure for liberal opinions.
