In the 20th century, one of the turning points in the battle between the west and communism was the publication of Whittaker Chambers’ epic, Witness.  Chambers was an odd sort ….a journalist who turned from communism as he discovered faith …… but he was , in the end,  a giant of man . He wrote: “Economics is not the central problem of this century. It is a relative problem which can be solved in relative ways. Faith is the central problem of our age.” The famed Father C J McCloskey ……delightful as always……has written eloquently of Chambers and his epochal achievement in his recent article “A Man And A Book That Will Never Go Away.”
