Why God Became Man
Why God Became Man
Cur Deus Homo
by Don Caspar Gilli

In St. Anselm of Canterbury's foundational theological work, Why God Became Man (Cur Deus Homo), delve into a profound and meticulously reasoned exploration of the Incarnation and Atonement. Written in the 11th century as a dialogue, Anselm addresses the fundamental question of why God, being omnipotent, chose to redeem humanity through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, rather than by a simple act of divine will. He masterfully articulates the satisfaction theory of atonement, arguing that humanity's sin incurred an infinite debt to God's honor, a debt only an infinite being—God Himself—could repay. This seminal text continues to be a cornerstone of Christian theology, offering timeless insights into the nature of God, sin, justice, and salvation. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the theological underpinnings of Christianity.

Quest for Happiness
Quest for Happiness
Finding the Meaning of Life Within God's Plan
by 
Venerable Louis of Grenada

What is the meaning of life? What is love? How can I be happy?

These are questions that people today often ask rhetorically, as though there were no answer. Others hunt down answers in self-help books, guides from experts, or television.

The great Dominican, Venerable Louis of Granada, best known for his work The Sinner’s Guide, penned this treatise—The Quest for Happiness—to help us see that we cannot trust in man’s own work to bring about happiness.What is the meaning of life? It is not a rhetorical question, rather, the Church has the answer! To know, love and serve almighty God. This book gives the answer of how to proceed on such a quest out of the unhappiness of the world and toward the happiness of God.

This new edition of Venerable Louis’ work, lightly edited and adjusted for the problems that modern man faces today, is a map to navigate the wasteland of modernity and discover true happiness.

Matrimonial Catechism
Matrimonial Catechism
by Roderick MacEachen, D.D.,

From the Preface by His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons:
”This little volume has a great mission: it goes forth to defend the holiness of the marriage state and the dignity of parenthood; to define the duties and mutual relations of man and wife; to warn our people against the abuses that too often surround marriage in modern society. It is concise enough for the busiest of men, erudite enough for the most scholarly, and simple enough for the humblest of our people. That it may teach many to love and respect the great Sacrament of Matrimony is our ardent wish.”

Eleven chapters to include: The Sacrament of Matrimony, The Jurisdiction of the Church over Marriage, Mixed Marriage, Conjugal Relations and 7 others.

Also included is Marriage Ceremony and Nuptial Blessing.

My Catholic Faith (paperback)
My Catholic Faith (Paperback)
A Manual of Religion, A Catechism in Pictures
by Bp. Louis LaRavoire Morrow

The classic 1954 edition of this fabulous catechism.

193 chapters in three sections: What to Believe, What to Do, and Means of Grace.

Abundant Scriptural quotations (excellent for proving Catholic Doctrine to "Bible-Believing" Protestants). It\'s also an excellent tool for dealing with liberal Catholics because two subjects of utmost importance are thoroughly treated: the true nature of the Catholic Church (today denied by false ecumenism) and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (today obscured by the New Mass).

This catechism is known and loved by Catholics because of its timeless texts, charts, lists and graphs. Profusely and beautifully illustrated!

A Brief Catechism for Adults
A Brief Catechism for Adults
A Brief Catechism for Adults is a little masterpiece designed for instructing converts. But it also serves as a useful handbook for lifelong Catholics who want to understand their faith more deeply. After the first edition of the book was used to catechize tens of thousands seeking to become Catholic, this second edition was revised in the light of notes made by numerous Catholic priests who had used the text. So it represents the fruit of extensive experience in teaching the Faith to converts, and for years it was practically the standard catechism in the U.S. and Canada for that purpose. This book is packed with facts and written in short, clear, question-and-answer format, accompanied by brief Scripture quotes. Using concise, ordinary language to explain profound theological and moral truths, it examines: \xc2\xb7 what we must believe and do to be saved \xc2\xb7 how to form a correct conscience \xc2\xb7 the duties of Catholic spouses and parents \xc2\xb7 common mortal sins \xc2\xb7 the interior design of a traditional Catholic church \xc2\xb7 how to pray the Rosary \xc2\xb7 popular saints' names for Baptism and Confirmation \xc2\xb7 familiar Catholic prayers \xc2\xb7 practical points for responding to common questions that arise in an unbelieving world. A Brief Catechism for Adults is a valuable handbook for becoming a faithful Catholic -- perfect for inquirers, but excellent for cradle Catholics as well. 191pp

The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent
Translated and Introduced by Rev. H. J. Schroeder

This Council of Trent (1545-1563) spanned the pontificates of five popes and shone as a beacon to all the world, condemning errors of the Protestant Reformation and making pronouncements on a vast number of Church doctrines and disciplines.

In this volume of The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent, originally published in 1941, Fr. H. J. Schroeder, O.P.,  provides an exact translation of the texts promulgated by the council and elucidates its momentous accomplishments.

  • Transubstantiation of the Eucharist
  • The nature of the Mass
  • Penance
  • Extreme Unction
  • Matrimony as a sacrament
  • Holy Orders
  • Original Sin
  • Veneration of saints, Relics, and Our Lady
  • And far more!

Footnotes with Scriptural references are provided throughout the text, as well as internal cross-references between different parts of the council's decrees. Lovers of Church history, the development of doctrine, and Catholic truth will not want to miss this magnificent translation of one of the greatest of the 21 ecumenical councils of the Catholic Church.

Keep Learning. Keep Growing. Keep the Faith.

Ultimate Catholic Trivia is a compilation of over 1,700 questions divided into 12 categories covering the Catholic Faith and culture.

The Four Last Things, The Supplication of Souls, A Dialogue on Conscience
3 Books in 1 - The Four Last Things, The Supplication of Souls, A Dialogue on Conscience
by St Thomas More

In The Four Last Things, St. Thomas More prescribes frequent meditation on Death, Judgment, Pain and Joy in order to combat the spiritual diseases of pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth.

The Supplication of Souls is More's vigorous, humorous, and artful defense of one of the flashpoints of the Reformation: the Catholic dogma of Purgatory. It is his devastating response to a defamatory political tract that claimed that the greed and corruption of English clergymen stemmed from their insistence on being paid to pray for the dead. 

A Dialogue on Conscience sets forth More's reasons for refusing to abjure his Catholic faith by taking the oath of allegiance to King Henry VIII as the head of the Church in England. It illustrates why More has a deserved place among the Church's greatest saints and martyrs.

The History of Heresies and Their Refutation
The History of Heresies and Their Refutation
The History of Heresies and Their Refutation
or The Triumph of the Church
by St Alphonsus M. Liguori

A history of heresies with a supplementary chapter, added by the translator, of the heresies of the 18th and 19th Centuries. In the Second Part, the Refutation of Heresies, the Holy Author comprises, in a small space, a vast amount of Theological information; in fact, there is no Heresy which cannot be refuted from it. Not alone are the usual Heresies, which we have daily to combat -- such as those opposed to the Real Presence, the Authority of the Church, the doctrine of Justification, clearly and diffusely refuted, but those abstruse heretical opinions concerning Grace, Free Will, the Procession of the Holy Ghost, the Mystery of the Incarnation, and the two Natures of Christ, and soforth, are also clearly and copiously confuted; the intricacies of Pelagianism, Calvinism, and Jansenism, are unravelled, and the true Doctrine of the Church triumphantly vindicated.

The Catechism Simply Explained
Catechism Simply Explained
by Canon Henry Taylor Cafferata

The Catechism Simply Explained is an excellent short and simple explanation of the Traditional Catholic Faith. First printed in England in 1897 by Canon Cafferata, the book was a remarkable success, such that it was reprinted many times throughout the 20th Century. This reprint is an exact copy of the 1954 New Revised Edition, available for the first time to the English-speaking world of North America.

The book is excellent for adult converts or anyone who wants to improve their knowledge of the Catechism and may not have time for a more in-depth study. The work is written in the traditional ‘penny catechism’ question and answer style, supported throughout by scriptural references. This ‘instruction manual for salvation’ should be an essential part of any spiritual first- aid kit!

A Pictorial Catechism
A Pictorial Catechism
by M.B. Coussinier

This was the first book of its kind to combine the benefits of a solid catechism and the finest artwork with an affordable price. The Apostle’s Creed, the Ten Commandments, the Commandments of the Church, Sin, Virtue, the Sacraments and Prayer are all brought to life with illustrations and quotes from Scripture pertaining to the precepts being taught.

Despite its object “to inculcate the doctrines of Romanism” and its hearty recommendation by Cardinal Wiseman, even the London Art Journal in May 1863--amidst sidehand comments that its texts “differ from those in our authorized Bible”--saw fit to recommend this Pictorial Catechism for its “One hundred and twelve wood engravings, well executed, after the original designs of a distinguished artist of the Dusseldorf school.”

We have lovingly restored these engravings and have improved the original layout of the book, grouping the subjects into clearly demarcated sections. The table of contents displays the tenets to be learned, while an index helps the reader find images in chronological order as they are found in the Bible.

Best of all, the engravings make perfect coloring pages for children.

Wonder Stories of God's People

Wonder Stories of God's People
by Rev. P. Henry Matimore

This second volume in the Madonna Series, intended for the fourth grade, follows on from the Bible stories found in its predecessor, A Child’s Garden of Religion Stories.  Where that volume focused on the early portions of the Old Testament, including the stories of Creation, of Abraham and of the Exodus, this one begins with Jacob and his son Joseph, then jumps ahead to the stories of Samson and David, Job, Daniel and Esther.  Likewise, where the first volume presented the birth and early life of Christ, here we find the stories of His Miracles as well as His Passion and Death.  Finally we end with several stories of the Saints, from St. Ignatius of Antioch to St. Bernadette and Our Lady of Lourdes.

This book has been printed in full colour with a hardcover binding because of its beautiful illustrations!

Ten Reasons
Ten Reasons
by St Edmund Campion

Father Campion, unaware of the sensation his paper caused, went about his missionary work, traveling in disguise by necessity, as a Catholic gentleman. He had opportunity to stop off at Protestant estates and unknown to the owner, administer the Sacraments to the Catholic servants, and even family members.

The "Brag" gave rise to refutations from government officials; Father Parsons had launched a counter-refutation before the end of the week. The Fathers had acquired a small printing press, but they deemed it of more benefit to souls for a larger sort of publication than a reproduction of the "Brag". Campion wrote Ten Reasons which was a well-documented, highly reasoned argumentation for Catholicism and was less easily disputed by the Protestants. Campion and Parsons were bold and daring. When the Anglican Oxfordians went to church they found copies on their seats!

Original text in Latin then followed with English translation.
