That Nothing May Be Lost
by Fr Paul Scalia, Ignatius, £13.99
You may think this author’s name rings a bell. If so, you are right. Fr Paul Scalia is the son of Justice Antonin Scalia, who was appointed to the US Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan.
Fr Scalia pays tribute in the introduction to his father, who died last year. He was a man who “loved the clarity and intellectual depth of the Church’s teachings, the beauty of her liturgy, and the power of her sacraments”. During what Fr Scalia calls “the confused and confusing years after the Second Vatican Council”, his father and mother “made a point of finding a parish (often at some distance) that provided authentic teaching and reverent liturgy”.
