Is a Return to the Land utopian folly or outdated futility? Or is it rather the sine qua non for a Catholic Renaissance in every aspect of our temporal, intellectual, cultural and religious lives?

The writings in this book are unanimous in declaring that a return to the land is the Catholic solution: one that is desirable, practical and urgently needed. It is neither nostalgia nor daydreaming, but rather the necessary foundation for a society based on the life of Nazareth and nourished by the sacrifice of Calvary.

Including essays by Mgr. Richard Williamson, Dr. Peter Chojnowski, Christopher McCann, Integrity Magazine author and Catholic University sociologist Walter John Marx, Ph.D., and Willis Nutting, Ph.D., a member of the “Green Revolutionary” circle around Fr. Leo Ward of Notre Dame University, The Rural Solution offers an inspiring and uplifting sketch of the merits of rural life, and provides the motivation and impetus for everyone seeking a sane solution to the real problems of modern life to give it a try.
