a landmark for all Christians,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Crisis of Saints: The Real Danger to Society is Not Merely a Lack of Virtue But a Lack of Heroism (Paperback)
I've read this 3 times so far. I will continue to read to fully absorb all that there is in this most intensely written and serious commentary on the state of Christianity today. Fr.Rutler nails it!

Bravo, Father Rutler!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Crisis of Saints: The Real Danger to Society is Not Merely a Lack of Virtue But a Lack of Heroism (Paperback)
It is not breathless hyperbole, but rather a genuine and deeply felt sincerity that leads me to say that "A Crisis of Saints" is one of the best books it's ever been my pleasure to read. Father Rutler addresses the most important issue facing man -- the Church (and, by inevitable extension, Western Civilization) in crisis, and how to reverse this trend, which, if left unchecked, will soon result in absolute calamity. In addition to the inherent interest of his chosen topic, Father Rutler's erudition and elegance of expression are breathtaking. He's also delightfully charming and witty.Highly, highly recommended. 20 of 24 people found the following review helpful:

Vatican II deconstructed,
By John V. Ryff "Caveat emptor" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Crisis of Saints: The Real Danger to Society is Not Merely a Lack of Virtue But a Lack of Heroism (Paperback)
Do-it-yourself Catholics will not appreciate this book. It sets the record straight regarding the Roman Catholic Church in modern times and the many specious interpretations foisted on Catholics. Using historical example, writings of intellectuals (including himself) and sound reasoning, Father Rutler skewers he post-Vatican II free-spirits with disciplined dialectic. To those who wonder how so many Catholics have lost their way in pursuit of some feel-good comaraderie, this book will provide insight. The writing is not for the beautiful people. Some passages must be read several times and checked against one's own reality. Those who make the effort will, perhaps, gain some peace of mind and even hope. Looking over the collection of what passes for leaders and thinkers of the world today, we see that the assured restoration of the Catholic Church requires a severe shock, A Crisis of Saints. It will come, but the spiritual price will be high.
