Marc Barnes first cared about being Catholic, “not out of any profound love for the person of Christ, but out of a profound distaste for my other options.” After exploring the options of the secular world, Barnes came to the conclusion that even the secular world isn’t secular enough. In fact, it is hopelessly Christian. Through these essays Barnes exposes the hopelessly Catholic nature of our fallen world, and the joyous news that, even for the bad Catholic or the non-Catholic, there is nowhere to hide from the Truth. The beauty of Christ’s love can be found even in the most secular of circumstances. So whether you’ve been hiding from the Good News or the world news, proclaiming “God is dead!” or “He is risen!”, you’ll find something in these essays to shout about.
