Catholicism inspired and then shaped all the figures of Western imagination. We owe it our ethics, our metaphysics, our aesthetics, our conception of the erotic, our views on democracy and femininity, and our ideal aspirations. The cloister, stained glass, Don Rodrigo, Don Camillo, art from the Romanesque to the Baroque, monarchism, the splendors of the Vatican, the religious fanatics of Avila, the doctors of the great universities, Holy Week at Seville, the angels, Gregorian chants and political utopia. The spiritual and cultural heritage of Catholicism is one of extraordinary variety and fertility. But many ignore it, seeing only the frozen appearance of an institution whose historical ups and downs read like a novel. With tenderness, humor, and gratitude, this primer picks out the most unusual aspects of Catholic religiosity. Denis Tillinac has a solid faith and respect for his Church, but he is also gifted with the irony of a moralist and a strong penchant for dissidence. His Dictionary, very loving, is neither beatific, nor holier-than-thou, nor clerical. It will surprise, inspire emotions, and provoke controversies.
