Europe and the Faith
by Hilaire Belloc
Category: Fiction

'Europe and the Faith' is a historical book by Catholic apologist Hilaire Belloc. Belloc argues that Catholicism is an inseparable part of European History tracing back from the inception of the Catholic Church in the days of the Roman Empire, through the Middle and Dark Ages of History, to the time of the Reformation. He labors to show that the Roman Empire never perished but was only transformed; that the Catholic Church, which, in its maturity, it accepted, caused it to survive and was, in that origin of Europe, and has since remained, the soul of one Western civilization.
