Faith and Culture
John Paul II’s Core Teaching on Culture (1979–1980)
John P. Hittinger“This deep aspiration of the human spirit for God and the meaning of existence, as well as the expression of this quest in various ways, is the heart of culture.”
Joseph Ratzinger’s Trinitarian Theology of Culture
Tracey Rowland“The idea of jettisoning ‘the speech of Christian centuries’ and ‘the language of the angels’ for a language ‘as contemporary as the Beatles’ affects all dimensions of culture.”
