Satire in Contemporary Catholic Authors

Satire might be defined as the whip with which the literary minded lashed the social, economic, and religious follies of the age In which they lived with a view not only to denounce the evil but to effect a reform. "Great evils create their own scourge," and as long as human nature exists, evil, too, will exist; and satire will continue to be the logical antidote, for "satire is born to scourge the persistent and ever-recurrent follies of the human creature as such."
