A New Catholic St Louis Blog...

Rome of the West

A weblog about Catholicism in Saint Louis, Missouri, which was called the "Rome of the West". Topics of interest are the historical Catholic patrimony of our City, the restoration of Catholic culture, manners, and morals, increasing public and private piety, and fostering interest in the fine liturgical arts.

Here is something posted there that I did not know (It's great to learn so many different things):

The famous Serenity Prayer was written by the liberal Lutheran Pastor and theologian, Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr, who was born in Wright City, Missouri. This prayer gained notice by its inclusion in 1944 in an army chaplins' field book, and later became nearly synonomous with AA....
Dr. Niebuhr was a pacifist during the First World War, a Socialist, and a theologian of the Social Gospel, but became alarmed by the rise of the Nazis.
