Founder and President
Over 100 years ago, G.K. Chesterton observed, “We have come up with the greatest forms of communication in all of history precisely at the moment when we have nothing to say.” What was true then is more astonishingly true now. And while many good people have understandably given up on modern media altogether, we as faithful Catholics have a duty to rescue these powerful methods of communication by filling them with the Truth. As Chesterton says in his book on St. Thomas Aquinas, “There are no bad things, only bad uses of things.” Film, television, internet, and flashy new devices of transmission have all been used for bad things. Eternal Christendom is an especially good use of these things. It represents hope.
