Archbishop Chaput’s book to be discussed

The Catholic Book Club is inviting the public to discuss “Render Unto Caesar” by Archbishop Charles J. Chaput O.F.M. Cap.  The book, in which the prelate asserts that the most powerful political act a Catholic can make is to live their faith not just in word but in all of their choices decisions and actions, is currently ranked No. 27 on the New York Times’ Non-fiction Best Sellers list.

The club will gather at 5 p.m. on Oct. 15 in the Cardinal Stafford Library in the John Paul II Center, 1300 S. Steele St.  The discussion will last approximately 90 minutes.

The Catholic Book Club gets together once a month to talk about some of the latest publications, according to Michael Woodward, director of the Cardinal Stafford Library.

“One of our first orders of business is to decide on what we want to talk about at future meetings,” he said.  “On the 15th we’ll talk about ‘Render Unto Caesar’ and on Oct. 22 we’ll discuss ‘Secret Scripture’ by Sebastian Barry. We hope a lot of people will want to be a part of those discussions.”
