<h3>Review:</h3>
<p>Yes, sure this is a classic, but it has aged horribly. It's a paean to reactionary, conservative "thought", the sparse plot makes no sense, and it's so deeply invested on catholicism it reeks of stale consecrated wine.<br /><br />The catholic equivalent of a rapture book.<br /><br />Would not recommend if it were the next-to-last book left in a post-apocaliptic wasteland.<br /><br />PS: the author somehow seems to feel saying something in latin makes it deep and true.</p>
