The Catholicism of The Lord of the Rings - Joseph Pearce

Pilgrims thronged the Shrine Crypt on Sunday, October 23, for Joseph Pearce’s 11 A.M. presentation on “The Catholicism of The Lord of the Rings.” The audience included over 300 people from near and far, including one couple from Houston, TX. All these visitors gathered to share in Pearce’s exploration of J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved classic work, and consider with him how the author’s Catholic Faith subtly but powerfully informs that work.

This is great. Some of his pronunciations of Tolkien's character names, however, are way wrong. Ilúvatar should be pronounced "il-LOO-vuh-tar."

Sauron does not have a mouth?
"Sauron should be thought of as very terrible. The form that he took was that of a man of more than human stature, but not gigantic."
