New Course: World History from A Catholic Perspective

Unlike virtually all other history courses which undermine or omit the contributions of the Catholic Church, World History from A Catholic Perspective launched today by CatechismClass.com seeks to teach the truths of world history which are intricately tied to the Church's own history.

This course does three things which most courses never do:

1. Mention the Church's contributions which are often ignored.
2. Combat modern errors like evolution which are touted as "fact" in public school.
3. Address the areas where the Church is falsely accused (e.g., Spanish inquisition, Conquest of the World, Crusades, etc).

This 10-part self-study course for high school students or adults is based on the following segments:

1. Introduction to World History and Developing a Catholic Worldview
2. In the Beginning: From Creation to Abraham
3. God's Chosen People: From Isaac to the Division of the Kingdom
4. The Struggle for Restoration: From the Division to the Roman Empire
5. The Incarnation & Redemption: From 27 BC to the Ascension
6. The Empire's "Small" Problem: From 33 AD to 400 AD
7. The Middle Ages: From 400 AD to 1500 AD
8. The Early Modern Period: From 1500 AD to the Mid 1700s AD
9. The Late Modern Period: From the Mid 1700s to Vatican I
10. Contemporary Period: From Vatican I to World War II

Drawing on the various catechisms of the Church, the Scriptures, the writings of numerous historians, the work of Fr. John Laux, and the writings of Fr. D.I. Lanslot, students of Catholic History from a World Perspective will be armed with a more holistic knowledge of history that does not fail to mention the greatest institution the world has ever known: The Catholic Church. We have a responsibility to learn our history and to share what we know. In so doing, can we correct the errors that people are taught regarding Christopher Columbus, the Crusades, the Inquisition, Evolution, and many other topics. The course provides not only history but actionable ideas to live out our Catholicity given our heritage in light of the lesson's readings. Thus, far from being a mere intellectual exercise, this new course will empower and help transform our students into better Catholic apologists.
