The Catholic Current

Father Robert McTeigue continues his “Novel Prophecies” series with Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We, a banned novel about a society that sacrifices human freedom for the sake of order. Why do tyrannical systems fear the Church, and what does our faith offer that no government or ideology can replace? Father finishes with Weekend Readiness to help prepare you for Sunday Mass.
