\nHilaire Belloc:
\nHow the Word Made Flesh
\nVanquishes Barbarism, Servility, and Despair
\nDr. Michael Matriotti
\nSeattle University
\nFor Hilaire Belloc, the doctrine of the Incarnation was not an abstraction but a palpable historical event affecting the reality of all things. The Incarnation is the inspiration of the romanticism of the real so characteristic of Christian civilization. The loss of the sense of the reality of this historical event is destroying inevitably the ability to make traditions live anew, is bargaining away economic freedom, and is sapping the zest for life.
\nDr. Michael Matriotti is an Assistant Professor in Matteo Ricci College at Seattle University and Head Cantor at St. John Chrysostom Catholic Church here in Seattle. Prof. Matriotti took his B.A. degree from St. Thomas Seminary in Kenmore, Washington, and his Doctorate in Theology degree from the Graduate Theological Union, at the University of California, Berkeley. His dissertation was a study of \u201cThe Relation between Science and Religion Viewed in the Light of the Evolutionary Notions of Julian Huxley, Carl Jung, and Friedrick Wilhelm von Schelling.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
