Why Should Catholics Study Literature?

by Dr. White on July 31, 2024

In this commentary, Dr. White expands his discussion of literature to include “art” in its broadest sense: painting, architecture, music, chant, drama, etc. In his view, all art is an extension of the glories of the Catholic faith, and he explains how the Church is a source of art in all its forms. White tells us art can draw souls to God and that literature does not only educate but can also delight us. He reminds us that literature provides for an interior life and that art feeds the soul.
