Ong's Thought," I highlight the eight times that Pope Francis quotes the Italian-born German Catholic theologian Romano Guardini's prescient and somber 1950 book The End of the Modern World in his widely read and somber 2015 eco-encyclical. In addition, I highlight the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian Walter J. Ong's discussion of Guardini's 1950 book in German in his 1957 book Frontiers in American Catholicism: Essays on Ideology and Culture.enRomano Guardini, Pope Francis, Walter J.
