Today we continue our series, sponsored by the University of Dallas: "A Knight for Truth," examining the life and thought of Dietrich von Hildebrand.

She explains his concepts of “actual” and “superactual”—the immediate and deeper spiritual realities in one's life—and how Hildebrand’s profound faith and love for the Church sustained him amid the turmoil.

Today we continue our series, sponsored by the University of Dallas: "A Knight for Truth," examining the life and thought of Dietrich von Hildebrand.
