∙ VANDAL CATHOLIC INTELLECT ∙

WHO IS DR. GRACJAN?

If you don't want to know how the seminal event of the past 500 years, the Great War, created our current world and so many of its attendant issues, from crises in faith, art, and architecture, to the role of men and women in society, the definitive transition from Empire to popular democracy, and the connection between the Apparitions at Fatima to the Bolshevik Revolution and the Second World War, do not take the class. If you do want to know these things, and so much more, especially what it means for you, a Catholic man and woman living in 2021, take this class, and begin the journey towards seeing what the problems of today are and how we might begin to solve them.
