Holy mother of God! Catholic Swedes exist?!

Anyway, I don’t know if there are any great Catholic writings for Swedes, but I do know one. Particularly from Spain. It’s translated in English, if you want it. It’s called “Don Quixote”. The tale of a man who wants to be a knight. It’s funny and heart-warming. I’ve read a bit and I found it a magnificent story. Not so much the new writings.

But that’s most of what I can come up with. If I find anything, I’ll be sure to let you know.

St. Ignatius, Spiritual Exercizes (this one not to read but to practice),
St Theresa of Avila (a must)
St. John of the Cross (a must)
St. Thomas Moore (a must)

Saint Thomas More is a renaissance author sure, but Utopia is written in Latin.
And why is it a must?

There are tranlations in all languages.
You are right in the book Utopia that I did not mention.
I was interested in His Life as a personality than in His Work.
Utopia is boring.
