He confronts the humanism, rationalism, utilitarianism, and modernism so prevalent in the liturgical reform, assesses the prospects and limitations of a “Reform of the Reform,” and reflects on the great gift of Summorum Pontificum.

A liturgical reform, meant to usher in a new age of full churches and ecumenical rapprochement, delivered neither; instead, churches are emptying and closing at an unprecedented rate. Meanwhile, an ancient old rite, grown to maturity in the Middle Ages, encrusted with Baroque pearls, and officially pronounced dead in the 1960s, has made an astonishing return around the world. Tolerated by Paul VI, permitted worldwide by John Paul II, declared free for everyone by Benedict XVI, and most recently put under ban once more by Francis, the Tridentine Mass remains a powerful and polarizing reality in the Church of Rome—an ark of holiness and beauty to the priests and faithful who love it, a belligerent “backwardism” to those who seek its abolition.

While it is typically understood today as the practice of charging \u003cem\u003eexcessive \u003c\/em\u003einterest, this is a far cry from the meaning given to it by ancient and medieval authors, who considered the charging of \u003cem\u003eany \u003c\/em\u003einterest on a \u003cem\u003emutuum \u003c\/em\u003e(a loan of such things as are estimated by weight, number, or measure) to be usury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinding a thorough, coherent, and believable explanation for so monumental a difference in outlook has been nearly impossible—until now. In this provocative work, David Hunt explains and defends the traditional view that usury is a charge for something that does not exist and is therefore a form of theft. Indeed, usury begets a form of chattel slavery, since charging interest on a \u003cem\u003emutuum \u003c\/em\u003eis an attempt to profit by treating the borrower as the lender’s property.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only does Hunt present and clarify the classic arguments (as seen above all in St. Thomas Aquinas), he also carefully distinguishes usury from morally legitimate ways in which rent and fees may be charged.

Noonan that usury is a “dead issue” to which only to “a few inveterate haters of the present order” pay heed. In reality, a clear grasp of usury is crucial to understanding why many modern Westerners live in a state of financial slavery—and why this was not the inevitable result of “progress” but a direct consequence of subordinating moral reasoning to economic analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePRAISE FOR THE BOOK\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“There are few books of which one can say that they are required reading for both theologians and economists, but Something for Nothing? is surely one of them.”—\u003cstrong\u003eFr.

This teaching is founded upon her understanding of the human person within God’s gracious plan of salvation. Created by God in His image and likeness, man has an immortal, immaterial soul, an intellect and will for freely apprehending and choosing the good, and an innate desire to seek happiness as his ultimate good and final end. Though wounded by original sin and our own personal sin, by divine grace we can live as true disciples of Jesus Christ and, through virtuous living, obtain some measure of happiness in this life and eternal bliss in the life to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn order to understand the moral universe in which we live, it is necessary to grasp what freedom really consists in and how it matures to its full stature through the virtues, particularly the mighty seven—faith, hope, charity, prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. One must also examine the contrary vices in order to recognize and avoid them. This book’s specific descriptions of venial and grave sins in various spheres of life will be welcome to those looking to form their consciences rightly, without veering into either laxity or scrupulosity. The “template” of the Beatitudes, most perfectly lived by Jesus Christ, and the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit, guide the Christian through the tempest of this world along the secure path of salvation.

Whether taking aim at the cult of the “inner god,” the rise of “recreational Catholicism,” or the eclipse of Thomistic wisdom, these writings are both a battle cry and a balm, awakening slumbering souls and summoning the faithful to heroic fidelity.

However, indecency is just one symptom of the ravaging disease that has made our world a sartorial wasteland. This disease is a hatred of beauty and a glorification of ugliness. It comes in many subtle forms, but its rotten fruits are all around us. The ugliness of our clothing has a devastating effect on our souls. It is time for Catholics to demand something better. In this book, Anna Kalinowska draws on Church teachings, the Catholic philosophical tradition, and fundamental principles of art to diagnose insidious and far-reaching problems with today's fashions. She argues that the quest for normalcy in a world where normal is ugly leads to the loss of souls, and she provides an alternative to the losing strategy that would have us \"just fit in.\" Written for anyone interested in cultivating beauty in everyday life, \u003cem\u003eClothed With Beauty\u003c\/em\u003e provides concrete artistic instruction along with answers to such perplexing questions as:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• What exactly does it take for clothing to be beautiful?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Why are many of today's modest options actually so unattractive?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Can clothing be both modest and beautiful?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Is the quest for beautiful clothing a kind of vanity or waste of time?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• How do we begin a restoration of the art of dress?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat Readers Are Saying\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Miss Kalinowska has stitched together a magnificent standard on beauty in dress that is ready to be raised aloft by its readers.
