Freemasonry and the Anti-Christian Movement offers a historical and theological study of modern secular thought from the perspective of Catholic tradition. Fr. Edward J. Cahill, S.J., explores the philosophical and cultural developments that shaped post-Enlightenment Europe, paying particular attention to those movements and institutions that promoted a naturalistic understanding of man and society.
Engaging with Church teaching and historical sources, Cahill examines how certain currents of modern thought have diverged from the vision of social order grounded in Christian revelation. This work presents a careful account of how these ideas influenced the shaping of modern political and educational structures.
Serious readers interested in Catholic social teaching, the history of European thought, and the religious challenges of the modern era will find in this volume a clear and historically grounded analysis.
