The King's Man
The King's Man
Saint Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson
“For the Name of Jesus, and the defense of the Church, I am ready to die.”—St. Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury
“St. Thomas therefore will always stand as a symbol of the unceasing conflict between the world and the Church; and the fact that some of the principles for which he contended do appear even to some Catholics to be on the very borderline between ‘dogma’ and ‘opinion,’ makes him all the more significant.”—Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson
Robert Hugh Benson’s retelling of St. Thomas Becket’s martyrdom offers a compelling portrait of an archbishop who died defending the Church’s independence from political control. This gripping narrative chronicles the tragic transformation of King Henry II and his former chancellor from intimate friends to mortal enemies, as their conflict over ecclesiastical authority escalates toward its bloody end. Benson masterfully illustrates how this twelfth-century struggle between throne and altar contained the philosophical seeds of a rupture that would reshape the Western world—prefiguring the Protestant Revolt and the conflicts between the Church and the world today. This struggle is summed up in St. Thomas’ own transformation as his allegiance shifts from an earthly king to the King of Kings.
“Catholics believe that Christ’s Kingdom is not of this world, and therefore cannot possibly, in the matter of her own constitution, be subject to secular control.”—Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson

Marcel Lefebvre
Marcel Lefebvre
The Biography
by Bishop Bernard Tissier de Mallerais
The Life of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre
With over 2,000 references and 1,500 names cited, this is the definitive biography of Archbishop Lefebvre, written by one of his closest associates, Bishop Bernard Tissier de Mallerais - a scholar in his own right.
Critics have said of the original French edition: "magisterial," "well-researched, serious, and honest," "reveals unsuspected facets. A very complete work," "a rich, important contribution to contemporary religious history," "a literary event," "a landmark." Influential French traditional Catholic publisher Jean Madiran said, "...the fruit of several years of considerable labour. The book is rich in documentation, often unpublished, and in many theological observations."
Marcel Lefebvre's (1905-91) career saw him make a meteoric rise through the Church ranks. At age 42, this missionary priest was appointed bishop in Senegal by Pope Pius XII. One year later, he was named as the Holy See's Apostolic Delegate for French-speaking Africa. In 1962 he was elected Superior General of the 5,000-member Holy Ghost Fathers. Pope John XXIII made him an Assistant to the Papal Throne and a member of the Preparatory Commission for the Second Vatican Council.
In 1968 he felt obliged to resign from his post as Superior General, and on November 1, 1970, he founded the Society of St. Pius X in Econe, Switzerland with canonical approval. He gradually became well-known throughout the world because of his adherence to the "Latin Mass," his opposition to some of the innovations of Vatican II (1962-65), and his disagreements with Pope Paul VI.
After the Vatican sanctioned him and the Society, he celebrated a "forbidden Mass" in Lille, France (1976), before 10,000 Catholics and 400 journalists, an event that brought him and his convictions international status. In 1988 he made headlines again when he consecrated four bishops without the permission of Pope John Paul II.
All Catholics, particularly those attached to the Tridentine Mass, owe a huge debt of gratitude to this man who was so extraordinarily sure of himself only because he was absolutely sure of God. We ought to know him better.

Synodality: An Attack on Papal Authority
Synodality: An Attack on Papal Authority
Acts of the 17th Theological Congress of Courrier de Rome
by Various Priests
The Crisis of Doctrine and Papal Supremacy in the Modern Church
Today’s current situation in the Church shows the same modernist goal seen in liturgical changes like the New Mass: it undermines the very purposes it claims to support. To further this point, bishops worldwide increasingly question papal authority and doctrine, working consciously or unconsciously to subvert both.
Before the recent push for Synodality, the principal challenge to papal primacy came through Collegiality, which is an attempt to democratize ecclesiastical authority. This has now evolved into something more radical: the democratization of doctrine itself.
Synodality is a democratic revolution that transforms the Catholic Church’s hierarchical structure into Protestant-style roundtable governance that undermines papal primacy while forcing doctrinal adaptation to modern political sensibilities.
This book brilliantly dissects synodality’s errors through step-by-step explanations of where it went wrong and how. It is a crucial aid to navigating the murky waters of the Synodal Way and understanding why Catholic doctrine — and the papal primacy protecting it — cannot be changed. This volume is a must-read work for all, especially those wanting to understand the current religious conflicts that beset Holy Mother Church.

Fatherhood and Family
Fatherhood and the Family
Reclaiming the Catholic Head of the Family of Our Lord Jesus Christ
The Integrity Series Volume 3
The role of Catholic fatherhood has been diminished in three ways. First, it has become smaller. Fewer things are defined as a father's distinctive work. Secondly, fatherhood has been devalued. Third, and most important, fatherhood has been decultured—stripped of any authoritative social content or definition.
The question is, What do fathers do? The tragedy of our society is that it can't answer the question and neither can most Catholics. Forward-thinking Integrity Magazine gives answers:
- Men, Mary, and Manliness
- The Family Has Lost Its Head
- Economics of the Catholic Family
- Afraid to Marry?
- Glorifying the Daily Grind
- The Heroism of the Big Family
- Bringing the Church into Work
- Forward to the Land.
- Holiness for Men
- The Confirmed Hero
- What Is a Grown-up?
- The Father in the Home
- A Man's Work
- Our Work Can Help Us to Pray
- Money, Money, Money!
- The State, Our Common Good

A Modern Martyr
The Life of St Theophane Venard
by Rev James A. Walsh, M. AP
A Martyr for Our Times
"I like Theophane Venard even more than Saint Louis de Gonzaga, because the life of Saint Louis de Gonzaga was extraordinary and Theophane Venard's was quite ordinary...my soul is like his. He is the one who has best lived my way of spiritual childhood." -St. Therese of Lisieux
Theophane Venard's example, particularly his way of accepting his martyrdom, was a valuable aid to Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, especially his words before martyrdom: "I do not rely on my own strength, but on the strength of Him who defeated the power of Hell and of the world through the Cross."

Divine Office
Divine Office
by Angelus Press
What does it gain a man to have his whole life perfectly organized but to lose his soul?
It's so easy to lose sight of God in our busy world. But the Church gave us the answer from the very beginning when she structured her official prayer around a framework of the psalms prayed eight times a day so that within one week, all 150 psalms are said.
Prayers for all hours
Here you have the most critical hours of the Divine Office for the layman in the world. Prime is the perfect Morning Prayer, Compline the perfect night prayer, and Sext is for the middle of the day.
Join your voice with the Church and Her members!
This is better than private prayer; it's the prayer of the entire Mystical Body because you pray with one heart with the millions of other clerics, religious and laymen around the world who have prayed and are praying these exact same prayers, AND because you adopt the intentions of the psalmist as you pray.
When understood correctly (this edition has a short explanation preceding each psalm), these are the intentions for which Holy Mother Church wants us to pray for ourselves, for the Church and for all the members of the Mystical Body of Christ.
Our Lord, our Lady, and the Saints prayed these psalms.
Includes
Includes everything for the Hours of Sunday Lauds, Prime, Sext, Vespers, and Compline; Prime, Sext, and Compline for each other day of the week.
Latin pronunciation guide bookmarker included.

The Ottaviani Intervention
The Ottaviani Intervention
A Brief Critical Study of the New Order of Mass
by Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani, Antonio Cardinal Bacci and a group of Roman Theologians
A RESPONSE TO ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL MOMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
"It is evident that the Novus Ordo has no intention of presenting the faith as taught by the Council of Trent, to which, nonetheless, the Catholic conscience is bound forever. With the promulgation of the Novus Ordo, the loyal Catholic is thus faced with a most tragic alternative."
This statement, made with absolute and definitive clarity, from Section VI of the Ottaviani Intervention, was made in response to what might be considered one of the most critical moments in the history of the Catholic Church since the original Pentecost Sunday, the traditional worship of the Roman Church was about to be replaced.
The issue of the ongoing litugical revolution in the Catholic Church became critical on April 28, 1969, when Paul VI announced the Novus Ordo Missae. It was the last chance for action within the traditional channels of ecclesiastical authority. Somehow the pope had to be dissuaded from implementing this substitute for the traditional Catholic Mass of the Roman Rite. This attempt, ultimately unsuccessful, was done in A Critical Study of the New Order of Mass...or what has become known as the "Ottaviani Intervention."

Tradition After Traditionis Custodes
Tradition After Traditionis Custodes
A Brief Summary of the Status of Tradition
In the aftermath of Pope Francis’s motu proprio Traditionis Custodes on July 16, 2021, there has been much confusion and consternation among Catholics regarding the future of the traditional Roman liturgy. Traditionis Custodes re-asserts the reformed liturgical books promulgated by Pope Paul VI in accordance with the decrees of the Second Vatican Council as the only legitimate expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite. In so doing, the text has marginalized the traditional liturgy, including the immemorial Latin Mass.
How should Catholics understand this turn of events? What should they expect in the future? And why is Traditionis Custodes viewed by many as a direct attack on the Church’s patrimony? These are some of the questions addressed at 16th Congress of the Courrier de Rome, held in Paris on January 15, 2022, which took this damaging document as its theme.
Through careful analysis and scholarly discussion, the talks delivered at this congress shed light on the complex and often contentious place of the traditional Latin liturgy in the modern Church.
A must read by all Catholics who wish to know the true status of Tradition.

Mother Love
Mother Love
A Manual for Christian Mothers
by a Priest of the Capuchin Order
"What on God's good earth is more glorious than this; to be a mother?"
With these words, Cardinal Mindzenty, summed up the glories of maternity, ordered toward the creation of new saints for the kingdom of God. And yet, the life of the mother is not an easy one. Between helping her husband, caring for her children, trips to school, the doctor, the grocery store, not to mention housework, cooking, and more, the life of a mother can lose it's proper focus: the glory of God. Add to this an increasingly hostile modern world who thinks little of mothers and offers little help and support and the situation is overwhelming.
To help Catholic mothers sanctify themselves in their state in life, and through that, to sanctify their homes as well, we have printed the original, unadulterated version of Mother Love, a complete prayer and devotional book, just for moms!
Originally written in the late 1800s by a priest of the Capuchin order, this "manual for Christian mothers" contains:
It contains almost everything a mother needs to nurture and grow her spiritual life, so that through their sanctification they may sanctify their husbands and children, and truly become the heart of the Catholic home.

The saints of the Church have often produced aids for those desiring to grow in devotion to Our Lord, especially to his Passion; and while the saints have employed many different genres to inform devotion to Christ, there is perhaps none greater than the devotion offered in a liturgical Office.
This little book, which presents two of these Offices by two of the great saints of the Church, is what men and women of the medieval period would have called a Book of Hours.
It is these types of shorter daily Offices which are customarily found in Books of Hours designed for lay devotional use. The most popular of these “Little Offices” was that of the Blessed Virgin Mary, but other offices were often included alongside it the Office of the Dead, the Office of the Cross, the Office of the Holy Ghost, or an Office of the Passion as we have here. St. Francis is known to have said the Church’s Office and his own Office of the Passion every day.
Offices dedicated to the Passion commemorate Christ’s suffering by connecting specific hours of prayer to the moments of His Passion: the Crucifixion, for example, was always remembered at the hour of Sext. St. Bonaventure and St. Francis of Assisi were particularly suited to produce rich texts for devotional prayer on the Passion. To the initial texts of his Office, St. Francis added more and more pieces over the course of his life, until the Office of the Passion assumed the shape it now.
In 1257, St. Bonaventure was elected Minister General of the Franciscan order. He served in this capacity into the 1270s, when he was made a Cardinal Bishop. The Franciscans at Paris had developed close ties with the royal court of St. Louis IX. St. Bonaventure preached before the royal family on many occasions. It is traditionally believed that St. Bonaventure composed the Office of the Passion at the request of St. Louis IX for the royal saint’s own use.
The two Offices presented here begin the narrative of the Passion in slightly different places: St. Bonaventure’s begins at Matins and Lauds, remembering Christ imprisoned in the early hours of the morning, while St. Francis’s Office begins at Compline the night prior by commemorating the Agony in the Garden.
These Offices invite us to enter more deeply into the memory of the Lord’s Passion, and more deeply into the devotional lives of St. Francis, St. Bonaventure, and even St. Louis IX. In St. Bonaventure’s Office we are taken by a more conventional route into the Passion of Christ. In St. Francis’s Office of the Passion, we find a more unique Office composed of texts that invite us into St. Francis’s own prayers. The Seraphic Father not only presses us to become more devoted to Christ’s suffering; he teaches us to praise God through the created world, to grow in devotion to Our Lady, and to more clearly recognize God as the source of all the goods we have, those of nature gifted to us through creation and those of grace gifted to us by God’s redeeming acts, especially Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross. Here is how we can better know these saints and, with them, take on the mind of Christ, their Lord and Master: by taking up their prayers daily.
This is a beautiful book that will delight all who use it.

Thought for the Day
Thought for the Day
by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre
"WHAT WILL THIS NEW YEAR BE FOR US? God only knows, but by our desire for sanctification we can turn for help to Our Lord’s will to save our soul and all souls. How consoling it is to think that our everyday life can be transformed into numerous graces of sanctification and Redemption! So it was throughout the life of Our Lord and of the Virgin Mary." — Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (January 3rd Feast of St. Genevieve)
This little collection of quotes, taken from the sermons and writings of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, assigns a short reading to every day of the year. It is a beautiful and simple way to practice daily recollection and elevate the mind to God. This new collection of the Archbishop’s words helps to develop the daily habits that can shape our eternal destiny.
"With the shepherds, we will go to that little Child, and despite His frail appearance we will believe in His divinity, confronting all those who, on the contrary, think of doing away with the Child as soon as He is born. Herod is already sending his troops to kill all the infant boys less than two years old, hoping that this future King will be among those children. Madman! He is opposing the One who comes to save him." — Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (December 28th Feast of the Holy Innocents)

Daily Readings and Meditations to Pray Alone or as a Family
by Fr Patrick Troadec
Christmas is the season of joy and peace with a charm all its own. Yet, If we are to receive everything that the Christ Child comes to give, a spiritual preparation is necessary.
This book offers you a daily liturgical meditation from the beginning of Advent to the Baptism of Jesus, richly supplemented with prayers, thoughts and resolutions.
The first days of Advent call to mind the return of Christ at the end of time and the long period of waiting that led up to His first coming at Christmas. The strong words of St. John the Baptist and the eloquent silence of Mary will help us open our hearts to the Infant of Bethlehem, who desires to be born anew each year in our souls. After the Nativity, the reader's glance is directed toward the manger and the Holy Family where the shepherds and the Magi invite the soul to adoration.
The reader is then led through the richness of the feasts from Advent to the Epiphany, inviting him to live each day with Jesus and for Jesus.
Each of the daily meditations covered in this book includes a:
Quote: Taken from Scripture, the Mass, or the Spiritual Fathers.
Meditation: A particular truth of the Faith and how it applies to us.
Prayer: Two short daily prayers for the reader to choose from.
Thoughts: Daily recollections that illustrate a profound point
Resolution: Three simple and practical resolutions.
Anyone looking to draw closer to God through the liturgy of His Church while developing the habit of daily spiritual reading and meditation needs to read this series!
