"To publish Catholic journals and place them in the hands of honest men is not enough. It is necessary to spread them as far as possible that they may be read by all, and especially by those whom Christian charity demands we should tear away from the poisonous sources of evil literature." –Pope St. Pius X

Hi, everyone

What do you think of the English historian Christopher Dawson?

I know he wasn't exactly a Thomist but did he wrote from the perspective of the Catholic orthodoxy and the Church's perennial philosophy?

I heard he was an "ecumenist" and that he was sometimes sympathetic to humanism, for example. Was his ecumenism contrary to pre-Vatican II Church doctrine?

Thank you!
Pedro

Dawson, Christopher 1889-1970? I'm not familiar with him.

Timothy Flanders of The Meaning of Catholic would recommend Christopher Dawson's writing as a source of history.
