The Catholic World, Vol. 14, October 1871-March 1872 A Monthly Magazine of General Literature and Science

"The Catholic World, Vol. 14, October 1871-March 1872" by Various is a magazine from the late 1800s that explores literature and science from a Catholic viewpoint. Inside, you'll find different writings that show what Catholics thought about important topics, arguments in society, and religious talks back then. One important piece is an essay called "Christianity and Positivism," which looks closely at a series of lectures by Dr. James McCosh and argues the Catholic view in response to Positivism. The essay looks at the ways faith and reason are different and pushes Catholic ideas as a way to stand against non-religious beliefs that were becoming more popular.
