Survivals and New Arrivals: The Old and New Enemies of the Catholic Church (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Catholic Apologetics Against Heresy, Secularism, and Modern IdeologiesBy Hilaire Belloc
Length7h 43m
About this audiobook
In Survivals and New Arrivals: The Old and New Enemies of the Catholic Church, Hilaire Belloc offers a polemical yet historically informed survey of the forces he believed opposed Catholic civilization. Distinguishing between "survivals" of older heresies and "new arrivals" such as modern skepticism, materialism, and ideological secularism, Belloc writes in his characteristically lucid, combative prose. The book belongs to the interwar Catholic apologetic tradition, where history, theology, and cultural criticism converge in defense of the Church's intellectual and social claims. Belloc, a Franco-English Catholic writer, historian, parliamentarian, and controversialist, brought to this work a lifelong conviction that European history was unintelligible apart from the Catholic faith. His experience of modern politics, anti-clerical currents in France, and the fragmentation of post-Reformation Europe shaped his sense that the Church faced not merely doctrinal disputes but rival visions of civilization itself. This book is recommended for readers interested in Catholic apologetics, intellectual history, and the religious controversies of modern Europe. Though some judgments reflect Belloc's era and temperament, the work remains stimulating for its breadth, confidence, and insistence that ideas have historical consequences.
