SUMMARY:Pope Peter

SUMMARY:Communism to Catholicism
DESCRIPTION:Price: $20 \nDescription: Join us for an evening with Sohrab Ahmari as he shares the remarkable story of his intellectual and spiritual journey in a talk titled From Marxism to Catholicism. Raised in a secular home in Tehran\, Ahmari came of age amid political upheaval before embracing atheism and later becoming a Marxist journalist in the West. In this candid and compelling lecture\, he traces the philosophical cracks he discovered within Marxism and Communism—systems that promise liberation but often deliver spiritual and political bondage. With clarity and conviction\, Ahmari recounts how his search for truth ultimately led him to the Catholic faith. This is a powerful exploration of ideology\, disillusionment\, and the surprising path to belief. Speaker: Sohrab Ahmari is the US editor of UnHerd. Before that\, he co-founded Compact magazine\, and spent nearly a decade at News Corp.\, as the op-ed editor of the New York Post and a columnist and editor with The Wall Street Journal opinion pages in New York and London. In addition to those publications\, his writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, The New Statesman\, The Spectator\, The New Republic\, First things\, Commonweal\, and Dissent\, among many others. His books include Tyranny\, Inc.: How Private Power Crushed American Liberty—and What To Do About It and The Unbroken Thread: Discovering the Wisdom of Tradition in an Age of Chaos\, both published by Penguin Random House. His next book\, on The Triumph of Normal\, is forthcoming from HarperCollins. \nRegistration: Registration not required at this time.
