Paul J. Glenn (1893–1957)

Monsignor Glenn was a staunch defender of the Catholic Faith, often using his genius writing talents to do so. He was a witty teacher at St. Charles Preparatory School and Seminary, and served as the rector and principal from 1945-1957.


He authored what is arguably the best series of undergraduate philosophy textbooks ever written. The most popular of his writings would be the Tour of the Summa. This book is a clear road map, guiding one on a journey through the genius of "The Dumb Ox" also known as St. Thomas Aquinas.
