you have a lot to learn.

Best Catholic writers...

Poet: Dante
Playwright: Shakespeare
Novelist: Cervantes
Philosopher: Aquinas

Anyone else I'm missing? Anyone disputing this list? Who is the greatest French writer with a strong Catholic influence? I love French literature, but most of their greatest poets and novelists aren't overtly Catholic in my opinion (same for England for that matter).

OP, I read Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh and loved it. Also, Joseph Pearce's biography on Shakespeare as a devout Catholic involved with subversive activity was fascinating and convincing. I wholly recommend it.

Morning upon waking up: Rosary, followed by prayers based on Blessed Cardinal Newman's writings

Daytime: Prayers for travel and grace for food.

Evening: Examination of conscience and an Act of Contrition composed by Blessed Cardinal Newman.

I feel as if I am in need of another great prayer to do in the afternoon. Perhaps I should pray the Divine Mercy at 3pm?
