Top Vatican Official Praises Scott Hahn

Scott Hahn was recently praised in an address given by Cardinal William Levada, the Prefect for the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith. For those who don’t know, the man who formerly held that position was Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI.

Levada gave an address in which he spoke of the need to respond to those such as the so-called “New Atheists”, who have attacked the credibility of the Christian faith and the Gospel. Here’s how the story read over atCatholicCulture.org:

In a wide-ranging talk that paid tribute to the writings of Msgr. Ronald Knox, Cardinal Francis George, C. S. Lewis, Scott Hahn, and others, Cardinal William Levada called for a “new apologetics” to counter “the likes of Richard Dawkins and his fellow apostles of the so-called ‘new’ atheism.”
