The Catholic and the Fine Arts

The Integrity of the Catholic scholar was again discussed, by Mr. Michael Bowles in the final lecture when he said that the Catholic artist has the advantage of having behind him a philosophy of life, "Today, in our grey society, the fine arts, which bring an enrichment of personality, are more important than ever. There is no such thing as single and intensive cultural effort—we can only develop ourselves individually to the best of our capacity.

"Culture is a cultivation, a two-way process in which the individual gives something to society, and society gives back to the individual."
