Modern man has a positive image of himself that has been shaped and very effectively propagandized since the time of the Renaissance. In the first of three conferences between November and May, the Roman Forum’s Modern Image and Catholic Truth series will explore the gap between this image and the true predicament in which the individual and contemporary society now find themselves trapped.
