Apologia: A Memoir. By Fr. Aidan Nichols. Gracewing, 2023. Paperback, 150 pages
By Edward Short, Catholic World Report, March 31, 2024
Edward Short is the author of Newman and his Contemporaries, Newman and his Family, and Newman and History, as well as Adventure in the Book Pages: Essays and Reviews. His latest book, What the Bells Sang, includes essays on poets, moralists, novelists, historians, and Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman. He lives in New York with his wife and two young children.
In several ways, Fr. Aidan’s Nichols’ Apologia is a keeping faith with positions he has held for many years. He remains full of hope about the conversion of Anglo-Catholics, even though he laments the unreadiness of the Church to admit more of what he regards as good and faithful Anglican tradition. He remains fond of the traditional French, even though he realizes that his Thomism might not be entirely theirs. He remains full of hope about the ability of the Church to reclaim her ancient essence.Related posts
