These pages summarize much of the material needed to study for the Catholic Education unit review questions and are derived from public domain sources.
The primary book and video series recommended as a reference for the Catholic Education unit is How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization by Thomas Woods.
How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization by Thomas Woods
No institution has done more to shape Western civilization than the two-thousand-year-old
Catholic Church—and in ways that many of us have forgotten or never known.
In this book Professor Thomas E. Woods explain the Church's profound role in shaping
Western civilization and goes far beyond the familiar
tale of monks copying manuscripts and preserving the wisdom of classical antiquity. Gifts such
as modern science, free-market economics, science, music, and the idea of human rights come from the
Catholic Church.
