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 Last Mass of Padre Pio
The Last Mass of Padre Pio
The Secret Soul of the Stigmatic Saint
by Alessandro Gnocchni and Mario Palmaro
On September 23, 1968 after having borne the stigmata for exactly 50 years, the saintly Padre Pio died. This holy mystic spent his life as a living imitation of Christ and is the only priest in history to bear the stigmata. During his life, in spite of the physical pain he endured, Fr. Pio continued to say his daily Mass. But part of his suffering was unknown. Fr. Pio wrote a petition appealing directly to Pope Paul VI so as to obtain permission, from the highest ecclesiastical authority on earth, to never be required to say the Novus Ordo Missae.
The existence of this petition was kept secret from the public . . . until now.
Things to learn about this holy friar:
- Mystical vision and calling to be an Alter Christus
- Life-long combat with the demonic spirits
- Profound physical suffering especially during the Canon of the Mass
- His loyalty to the traditions of the Church and the Mass of all times
- His pious admonitions to his spiritual children
“Later, as an aged Capuchin friar, the mere thought of the liturgical reform, which would take effect in 1969, was sufficient to raise in him a holy horror. Throughout his life the holy friar had been obedient even unto martyrdom, but at this time the only request he dared to put forth to the authorities of the Church was to be exempted from the novelties of the impending liturgical reform.”
For the first time published in English read the startling testimony and eyewitness accounts of close friends and spiritual sons of Padre Pio as they reveal his thoughts on the sanctity of the Mass, the changes occurring in the Church during his lifetime, and the chilling effects they would have on the future. Look behind the cloister wall and discover a side of Padre Pio you’ve never seen before.

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."

A voice in the wilderness
“To restore the beauty of holiness to the face of the Bride of Christ, which is terribly disfigured by so many abominable crimes, and if we truly want to free the Church from the fetid swamp into which she has fallen, we must have the courage to tear down the culture of secrecy and publicly confess the truths we have kept hidden.” These bold words from the pen of an archbishop in exile—part of a bombshell exposé published in August 2018 concerning Theodore McCarrick and his circle—catapulted the ecclesiastical diplomat Carlo Maria Viganò to international prominence. In a steady stream of interventions from that time onward, Archbishop Viganò has not only supplied further incriminating details on the current Vatican regime but has extended his critique to the neo-modernism and worldly accommodation that officially entered the Church through the Second Vatican Council. He argues, moreover, that just as there is a “deep state” of wealthy and powerful international elites who exercise enormous sway over political affairs and cultural vectors, so too there is a “deep church” that retains for its advantage the external trappings of religion while pursuing an agenda of error and moral corruption. These pseudo-sovereignties closely collaborate as they work for the same goals, which are, at this point, an open secret.
A Voice in the Wilderness collects for the first time all the major writings of Archbishop Viganò from August 2018 to January 2021, with explanatory introductions and notes by Brian M. McCall. Finally available in one place to allow for easy access, assimilation, and debate, it is the definitive edition of an extraordinary body of pronouncements that have stirred up vehement controversy on all sides. Regardless where one stands in its regard, Viganò’s arresting message cannot be ignored. Ultimately, it is one of conversion to Christ the King, the Truth in person, who sets us free from the accumulating slaveries of our time.

Joy in Suffering
Joy in Suffering
by Rose Hu
Rose Hu was born on May 4, 1933, in Shanghai, the eighth of nine children. She converted to Catholicism and was baptized on April 17, 1949 just six months prior to China officially becoming Communist.
Following her arrest in 1951, Rose spent the next 26 years in Chinese concentration camps under Mao Tse-Tung. After her release in 1982, she was able to tell this story in her own words.
This book is filled with the raw, unfiltered thoughts and experiences of a soul who endured much for Christ. What Rose suffered for her Catholic Faith defies belief, demands respect and certainly draws a clear picture of the treatment of Catholics under Communism in China.
Recently translated for an English audience, this is an inspirational story of a young woman's life in communist China, that lead her to the Catholic Faith. She gives her account of Catholics suffering in a Chinese labor camp during the communists' persecutions in the 1950's. Her story is highly recommended by Fr. Daniel Couture, SSPX, her spiritual director.

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.

The Mass of Brother Michel
The Mass of Brother Michel
by Michael Kent
The Mass of Brother Michel, set in the tranquil countryside of southern France during the Reformation, is the story of a young man who “has it all”—until a fateful series of events leads him to a monastery. As Huguenot violence mounts, the characters of the story are pushed to extremes of hatred and love. The reader is swept along by a narrative as twisting and turbulent as a mountain stream, which culminates in a sovereign sacrifice as unforgettable as it was unforeseen. This is a story that shows with utter vividness the power of romantic love to cripple and deform, the power of suffering to undermine illusions and induce the labor of self-discovery, the power of prayer to reassemble the shards of the shattered image of God in the soul, and the power of the priest as the divine Physician’s privileged instrument.
At the center of the novel is the awesome mystery, scandal, consolation, and provocation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. To it some of the characters are irresistibly drawn; against it, others are violently arrayed. Here is a passionately told tale of their inner struggle and outward confrontation. No reader will fail to be astonished at its outcome and touched by its inspiring and miraculous climax.

Saint Athanasius
Saint Athanasius
Defender of the Faith
by Michael Davies
"The whole world groaned and was amazed to find itself Arian." So cried Saint Jerome. Athanasius was in exile (again), a compromised Pope occupied the Chair of Peter, hardly a bishop had the courage to confront Constantius. Twelve different creeds were competing for the allegiance of Christians; the Nicean Creed was forbidden.
The true Faith was being upheld by laymen, inspired by Athanasius, who held fast to what their bishops had taught them even though those same bishops had abandoned it by now.
Are there modern-day parallels in the Church and Her Churchmen?
Michael Davies' book provides a fascinating insight into one of the most troubled periods in the history of the Church and the life of one of Her greatest saints. Documents the facts on the "Fall of Pope Liberius," who confirmed the excommunication of Saint Athanasius, and signed an ambiguous formula of doubtful orthodoxy.
Mr. Davies reminds us that the Faith is not served by explaining away historical facts, but in understanding them in the light of Catholic teaching. The fact that the Church survives every crisis with the integrity of Her doctrinal teaching intact is a dramatic testimony to Her divine origin and the necessity of Athanasian perseverance.

Harry Potter and the Paganization of Culture
Harry Potter and the Paganization of Culture
by Michael O'Brien
Master storyteller, best-selling novelist and artist Michael O'Brien - the man to whom CNN went for comment on Harry Potter - has penned the definitive work assessing the Potter phenomenon. This book is essential reading for all parents whose children have read or are considering reading the wildly popular offerings by J.K.Rowling and similar works such as Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. Although this is an analytical work, the reader will be captivated from the beginning, from the must-read preface onward.
O'Brien's earlier work, A Landscape with Dragons, delineated authentic Christian fantasy literature from its counterfeits. Now in Harry Potter and the Paganization of Culture, he contrasts Potter-world with C.S. Lewis's Narnia and with Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and specifically Harry with Frodo. For those whose children have consumed Potter, O'Brien's analysis will enable parents to comprehend the messages which have been fed their children and give them the points and arguments which will hopefully be the antidote to properly reset their moral order.
The book goes beyond Potter, however, to address other bestselling series such as Twilight by Stephenie Meyer and Phillip Pullman's The Golden Compass. In addition to these and other fantasy books, O'Brien reviews the films which they spawned.
In all, O'Brien's new book teaches Christians how to discern harmless fantasy literature and film from that which is destructive to heart, mind and soul.
"The corruption of Christian civilization's symbols is a centuries-old phenomenon, yet until the modern age the mutations and inversions, along with the making of new diabolic symbologies, remained on the fringes of society in secret societies and small esoteric cults. Now the culture of the cults is visible everywhere, and with the Harry Potter series is entering (and captivating) the mainstream. Through it, the corruption of symbols has moved to a new level of influence, and it has done so on a scale that is unprecedented in the history of literature. If we lose the language of true symbolism, we lose at a basic level of consciousness our way of knowing things as they are. Symbols are not items in some storage room or attic of the psyche that we can take up and discard at will, or rearrange without consequences. To tamper with them is to destabilize the very foundations of the house. While most Christians would never knowingly exchange symbols of evil for symbols of good, many have accepted a new realm of eclectic symbology that allows a mixture of good and evil symbols to influence their thoughts and feelings. But two contradictory symbol worlds cannot long remain in a state of peaceful co-existence within us. Either one or the other will come to dominate and will eventually demand the expulsion of the other." - Michael O'Brien

The Order of Melchisidech
The Order of Melchisedech
A Defense of the Catholic Priesthood
by Michael Davies
On 30 June 1968, pope Paul VI pronounced his Credo in which the doctrine of the Sacrifice of the Mass "celebrated by the priest in the Person of Christ in virtue of the power he received in the Sacrament of Order" was very clearly, unambiguously, and correctly expressed. Twelve days earlier, Pope Paul VI had signed the Apostolic Constitution in which he approved and imposed the new ritual of the ordination of deacon, priest, and bishop. In this book the author examines the new rite of ordination to the priesthood and exposes its differences with the former one used in the Roman rite for a number of centuries, enjoying the highest authority.
There can be no doubt of the validity of the New Rite but there are certain features which the author deplores. A number of prayers and ceremonies have been suppressed which, in the Old Rite, served clearly to express the most essential character and duty of priesthood: to offer the Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Mass. This is a sign of a tendency which can be observed in other official liturgical innovations (not to mention illegal ones). It is a matter of great concern for many Catholics that this and similar things are done at a time when the sacrificial character of what is now commonly called the "celebration of the Eucharist" is questioned or even denied by many who do not leave the Catholic Church.
Mr. Davies gives an impressive exposition of the facts and the meaning he attaches to them in the light of Trent, the Pontifical letter Apostolicae Curae of Pope Leo XIII, other official documents, and also the Canterbury Declaration on Ministry and Ordination in the Anglican and Catholic Churches. He rightly rejects the latter completely as a totally ambiguous document.
This is a rich and scholarly book which should be in the hands of all who study post-conciliar developments in the official Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Christ.

A Defense of the Catholic Priesthood
by Michael Davies
On 30 June 1968, pope Paul VI pronounced his Credo in which the doctrine of the Sacrifice of the Mass "celebrated by the priest in the Person of Christ in virtue of the power he received in the Sacrament of Order" was very clearly, unambiguously, and correctly expressed. Twelve days earlier, Pope Paul VI had signed the Apostolic Constitution in which he approved and imposed the new ritual of the ordination of deacon, priest, and bishop. In this book the author examines the new rite of ordination to the priesthood and exposes its differences with the former one used in the Roman rite for a number of centuries, enjoying the highest authority.
There can be no doubt of the validity of the New Rite but there are certain features which the author deplores. A number of prayers and ceremonies have been suppressed which, in the Old Rite, served clearly to express the most essential character and duty of priesthood: to offer the Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Mass. This is a sign of a tendency which can be observed in other official liturgical innovations (not to mention illegal ones). It is a matter of great concern for many Catholics that this and similar things are done at a time when the sacrificial character of what is now commonly called the "celebration of the Eucharist" is questioned or even denied by many who do not leave the Catholic Church.
Mr. Davies gives an impressive exposition of the facts and the meaning he attaches to them in the light of Trent, the Pontifical letter Apostolicae Curae of Pope Leo XIII, other official documents, and also the Canterbury Declaration on Ministry and Ordination in the Anglican and Catholic Churches.

The Roman Rite Destroyed
The Roman Rite Destroyed
by Michael Davies
Twenty-five years ago when this work first was published, its purpose was to prove to the skeptic that the Roman Rite of Mass was in fact being dismantled. Its advertising copy asked, "The Roman Rite destroyed?" as though to surprise its reader. Over a generation later, the first-time readers of The Roman Rite Destroyed, who most probably have known only the New Order of Mass (i.e., the Novus Ordo Missae), have little or no memory of the Tridentine Latin Mass of the Roman rite which predated it. They are living proof that the Roman rite of the Latin Mass has been destroyed.
The newest readers of this small work are perhaps faintly aware of the Mass of their parents and grandparents. What was the Latin Mass? How was it destroyed? Why was it destroyed? Who led its destruction? Can the Novus Ordo Mass that replaced the Tridentine Mass be both similar and superior to it at the same time?
Learn why the Old and New Masses are not similar, and why the New Mass can only be superior to the Old in its consistency with the movement of the Conciliar Church towards a common liturgy with non-Catholics, which is the reason why, says the author, the Old was disposed of, and the New proposed and then imposed.

From Ecumenism to Silent Apostasy
From Ecumenism to Silent Apostasy
An analysis compiled by the Society of Saint Pius X
In 2004, The SSPX sent a letter to all the Cardinals of the Church. This letter was accompanied by a hard hitting, but short and concise, analysis of Ecumenism. Recently, the SSPX has sent this same study to EVERY Catholic bishop in the world. We have put the letter and study together for our customers in this booklet and included a short interview with Bishop Fellay and two appendices: one, a not-so-Catholic (to say the least!) speech by Cardinal Kasper on Ecumenism and, two, a pertinent excerpt from the writings of the great Cardainl Pie (1815-80), "On the Duties of Priests," which stands in stark contrast to the ecumenical-babble of Cardinal Kasper!
The Study itself, entitled "From Ecumenism to Silent Apostasy" is masterful and is divided into three main parts with the following subdivisions:
Analysis of Ecumenical Thought:
The Doctrinal Problems Posed by Ecumenism:
The Pastoral Problems Posed by Ecumenism:

Satis Cognitum
Satis Cognitum
On The Unity of the Church
by Pope Leo XIII
"That they may be one" - "Ut unum sint" has been the rallying cry of Churchmen since Vatican II, and the explanation for the promotion of an ecumenical agenda that places "unity" before everything. But what is the nature of the unity for which the Lord prayed His heavenly Father on the way to Gethsemane? Indeed, most Catholics cannot answer with precision what exactly the Church is, the conditions for belonging to it, or its necessity for salvation. If you want a clear and concise explanation of these principles, Satis Cognitum is the place to begin.
Written when popes said what they meant and meant what they said, it is free from the ambiguities which are so characteristic of late 20th century explanations of these issues. "Wherefore, in His divine wisdom, He ordained in His Church Unity of Faith; a virtue which is the first of those bonds which unite man to God, and whence we receive the name of the faithful - 'one Lord, one faith, one baptism' " (Eph. 4:5).

Prometheus: The Religion of Man
Prometheus: The Religion of Man
Can you interpret Vatican II correctly?
by Fr Alvaro Calderon
"The Second Vatican Council is Prometheus in his act of larceny. It was a manoeuvre of all too human prudence carried out by a divinely constituted hierarchy, which burned for men the incense that belongs to God alone. As in the parable of the unfaithful steward, the Council cancelled man’s debts to God, promising salvation to all; and in the worship of its New Mass gave man the better part. "
While the fruits of Vatican II have been evident for decades many Catholics still lack the ability to articulate why the humanist principles that underlie Vatican II are so egregious. This book summarizes the main tenets of Vatican II, explains the correct theological and philosophical principles and exposes the fallacious thinking of the Council.
THIS BOOK WILL BE KNOWN AS THE DEFINITIVE EXPLANATION OF VATICAN II.

"Pandora’s box has poured its evils on the whole Church, while the Catholic hierarchy has been chained, with its own incoherence. And who will be the Hercules capable of liberating her? We believe it can only be the return of Thomism to Rome." - Fr. Alvaro Calderon, SSPX

A Catechism of Errors
Catechism of Errors
by Michael Haynes with an Introduction by Archbishop Viganò
Sixty years after the Pastoral Council, that the promotional advertising told us was to usher in a new springtime for the Church, is sufficient time for the faithful to stand back and calmly observe the glorious fruits of the work of that Council. The historical facts appear to us to belie the promises made by Pope John XXIII and others.
As Pope John Paul II said, three of the most important fruits of the Council are: the New Liturgy and sacramental rites, the New Code of Canon Law and the New Catechism. With all of these brand new and very modern(ist?) post-Conciliar alterations in the laws and teachings of the hierarchy forced upon the faithful having had its trial of sixty years, it is now time to judge these fruits objectively. Surely, even those who have collaborated, either wholeheartedly or with reservations, in the advancement of these changes must agree that a just and prudent accounting should now be made of the blessings or curses upon the Church and the world resulting from the work of the Council.

Iota Unum
Iota Unum
A Study of Changes in the Catholic Church in the XXth Century
by Professor Romano Amerio
Romano Amerio, Italian by nationality, was a man of broad and classical erudition, who taught philosophy, Greek and Latin at the Academy of Lugano, Switzerland from 1928 to 1970. He was an episcopal consultant to the Central Preparatory Commission of Vatican II and was a peritus for the Bishop of Lugano during the Council. A true insider to the Council's activities. He was a friend of the late Cardinal Siri of Genoa and died in 1997.
Archbishop Lefebvre had this to say of Iota Unum: "A book has just appeared, Iota Unum, written by Professor Romano Amerio, who lives in the north of Italy. In my opinion, it is the most perfect book that has been written since the Council on the Council, its consequences, and everything that has been happening in the Church since. He examines every subject with a truly remarkable perfection. I was stupefied to see with what serenity he discusses everything, without the passion of polemics, but with untouchable arguments. I do not see how the current attitudes of Rome can still persist after the appearance of such a book. They are radically, definitively condemned, and with such precision, for he only uses their own texts, citations from Osservatore Romano. The whole is absolutely magnificent.
"One could base an entire course on this book, on the pre-Council, the Council, and post-Council. I assure you that not much is left standing. The Popes take a licking; he is not at all soft on the Popes, but he recounts their deeds, their words, everything. They stand condemned. In his epilogue he shows how the consequence is the dissolution of the Catholic religion. Nothing is left. But he says that since the Church is not going to perish ... there must be a remnant; after all, the good God said that the Church will not perish, therefore there must be a witness or the witness of a remnant that will keep the faith and tradition."
"You must read. You must nourish your souls. You must enlighten your spirit. You must enkindle your hearts, your charity. You must inform yourselves! There is a .. book, a very thick book, which was published relatively recently [in English]. It would not be for everybody - Iota Unum. It is not an easy book, but it is a very informative book. Excellent! Archbishop Lefebvre wished ... that it would be the book every seminarian had in his hands" - Fr. Franz Schmidberger
334 topic-sections in forty-two chapters covering, among many other things:
The Crisis, The Crises of the Church, The Council: Before, During and After, Paul VI, The Priesthood, Youth, Women, Somatolatry, Penance, Religious and Social Movements, Schools, Catechetics, Religious Orders, Pyrrhonism, Dialogue, Mobilism, Faith, Hope and Charity, Natural Law, Divorce, Sodomy, Abortion, Suicide, Death Penalty, War, Situation Ethics, Globality and Graduality, The Autonomy of Values, Work, Technology and Contemplation, Civilization and Secondary Christianity, Democracy in the Church, Theology and Philosophy, Ecumenism, Baptism, Eucharist, Liturgical Reform, Matrimony, Theodicy, Eschatology, and MUCH MUCH more!

Apologia for Tradition is a powerful, well-documented defense of sacred Tradition as a solution for the modern crisis in the Church. This book demonstrates how the Catholics of history and today are united in a timeless battle to defend Tradition. A battle that stretches from the sands of the Colosseum to the cultural arena of today's post-Christian era. The book shows:
- The triumph of Tradition over persecution and heresy
- Historical examples of the Church's method of adherence to Tradition
- How in every era, Christ raised up saints to defend the Tradition of Holy Mother Church
- How evil has attempted to eradicate Tradition, especially today
In the unhappy event of a conflict between the "living Magisterium" and Tradition, the primacy can be attributed to Tradition alone, for one simple reason: Tradition, which is the "living" Magisterium considered in its universality and continuity, is infallible in itself, whereas the so-called "living" Magisterium, understood as the current preaching of the ecclesiastical hierarchy, is infallible only under certain conditions. - Roberto de Mattei

A History of the Protestant Reformation in England & Ireland
A History of the Protestant Reformation in England & Ireland
by William Cobbett
William Cobbett stunned the Protestant world of 19th century England with his publication in 1824 of his groundbreaking work The History of the Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland.
Not only was the book deeply researched and footnoted, but it presented a historical picture that was profoundly contrary to the “official history” that had been drummed into the minds of countless Englishmen for three hundred years. In addition, the fact that it was so well written, so sympathetic to the Catholic cause, AND written by a fellow Church of England Protestant made this book an overnight bestseller running into many editions and reprints over the next thirty years.
Theological issues are not treated directly, but the illogic of the Protestant positions is clearly seen in the practical results of the break from Rome. For those who wish an objective history of this critical period of English and American history there is no better book available. The power of Cobbett’s prose and his convincing logic and sardonic wit make for a delightful reading experience as well.
This is one of the best books ever written on the EFFECTS in both the Church and in society of the English Reformation.

The Second Vatican Council
The Second Vatican Council
An Unwritten Story
by Roberto de Mattei
No event of the 20th century produced a greater effect upon the Catholic Church than Vatican II, the 21st Ecumenical Council. To many it might seem to have been simply a meeting of important churchmen gathered to discuss church matters, but because the Catholic Church is the only church founded on this earth by God himself to guide men to salvation, the reality is that centuries from now historians will likely consider it, (as well as the message to the world delivered by the Mother of God during her personal visit at Fatima in 1917), as one of the two pivotal events of world history for the recently ended century.
Vatican II opened fifty years ago on October 11, 1962. Since it ended in 1965, the council has been written of in countless books, articles, scholarly journals, magazines, and newspapers all over the world. Things said and done since the council, in the name of the council and in opposition to it, have affected the lives of everyone living since that time.
As with any significant historical event, it is only after considerable time has elapsed that a fuller story of exactly what happened in those years before, during, and after “the event” can be engagingly told and wisely summarized. Professor de Mattei’s genius lies in the application of a lucid, literate, and philosophical mind to thorough scholarly research and mountains of documentation. From this framework he has presented us with a story; a story of an event, a previously unwritten story that has been begging to be told for many years. This book will unfold for you the answer to the question, What happened at the Council?”

The Family Under Attack
The Family Under Attack
A Philosophical and Theological Defense of Human Society
By Don Pietro Leone
In our days the war against God and His Church has become deeper and broader than at any time in history. No longer are the powers of darkness content to attack only the institutional Church that God founded. The truth is that the human nature that God the Father created is now the subject of the adversary’s most violent persecution, and through the undermining of the very concept of human nature and the natural law enshrined in it the enemies of God hope to make any consideration of the concept of ‘super-nature’ and super-natural life disappear from the minds of men.
The Church has always been the true guardian of not only supernatural life, but of the natural law as well. Since the natural law is the law that God put into our nature and it is discernible in the light of reason, the Church, speaking for God, is the champion of sound reasoning. With the natural law as well as supernatural law governing human sexuality and family life under attack, Don Pietro Leone has risen to defend (and to properly distinguish) those areas, so that those who wish to defend the Church and human society in our age may have sound teaching upon which to base their actions.
In the course of this treatment of these topics he makes a detailed critique of certain novel presentations of themes found in the Magisterium from the time of the Second Vatican Council onwards. Amongst these doctrines is one he terms ‘Magisterial Personalism’ and another called the ‘Theology of the Body.’ Drawing upon scholastic philosophy and the perennial teaching of the Church, Don Pietro brings light to a subject recently plunged into obscurity and darkness that is not currently being dispelled successfully, even by the guardians of Truth themselves.
Don Pietro Leone holds degrees in humanities and philosophy, which he has taught at seminaries and universities in Europe and America. He lives in Italy where he currently divides his time between his pastoral and academic duties.

Why do some scientists believe that universes pop into existence from nothing, that aliens seeded life on earth, or that fish turn into reptiles by chance processes? The answer, for both, is the same: the abandonment of realism, the human way for knowing reality.
In The Realist Guide to Religion and Science, Fr Robinson explains what realism is all about, then undertakes an historical exploration to show how religion and science become irrational when they abandon realism and how they are intellectually fruitful when they embrace it.

Pope John Paul II
Pope John Paul II - Doubts About a Beatification
by Fr Patrick La Rocque
"Santo subito!" "Sainthood now!" exclaimed the people assembled in St. Peter's Square on the very day Pope John Paul II passed away. The crowd called for the canonization of the deceased pope.
To many, John Paul II was a hero. He traveled the world and inspired the multitudes. He caused the fall of the Berlin Wall. He invited Catholics to "be not afraid!" He pardoned Ali Ağca for the attempt on his life of May 13, 1981. He was an intrepid defender of life, especially against abortion. But the reality is not so simple.
An in-depth study of the requirements for beatification and the examination of John Paul II's pontificate in light of those requirements leads to amazement. Gray areas, sometimes extensive, come to light. The greatest of the Christian virtues—faith, hope, and charity—are not unscathed. Many of the Pope's teachings and initiatives which for the wide public seem to be titles of glory prove to be in fact matters of grave reproach. Benedict's beatification of his predecessor on May 1, 2011, may indeed have been a serious mistake.
Fr. La Rocque provides an in-depth study of the requirements for beatification and the examination of John Paul II's pontificate in light of those requirements.

Sedevacantism
Sedevacantism
A False Solution to a Real Problem
by Priests of the Italian District of the Society of St Pius X
This short study presents the position of the Society of Saint Pius X regarding the pope, and the objections others have made to this position. Sedevacantism presents the origin and history of the sedevacantist movement and its various schools as well as a demonstration of the ultimately absurd consequences of its principles. It follows the prudential attitude of Archbishop Lefebvre by avoiding vain and futile polemics yet simultaneously refusing to shift the problem so far into the theoretical realm that no practical conclusions can be drawn.

A Justification of Our Position Within the Church
A Summary Defense of Catholic Tradition
by the Priests of Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer
The priests of The Mouth of the Lion defend Catholic Tradition.
"Schismatics," "excommunicated," "rebels," "disobedient," "Lefebvrists," "Fundamentalists." With these epithets it is attempted to manipulate the collective imagination so as to create a void around those Catholics faithful to the Tradition of the Catholic Church. Only through the mercy of God have we received the grace to number amongst them, we priests of the diocese of Campos who make up the Priestly Fraternity of Saint John the Baptist-Mary Vianney.
In examining, by contrast, with serenity and with no ulterior motive, our position in the current crisis of the Church, it will be recognized that we are simply Roman Catholics in the Apostolic tradition. We make up no sect, nor a "traditionalist" party. We have no doctrine of our own, nor any peculiar liturgy, nor any parallel hierarchy. Our doctrine, our liturgy, our hierarchy are those of Holy Church, Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman.

The Kingship of Christ and Organised Naturalism
The Kingship of Christ and Organised Naturalism
by Fr Denis Fahey, S.S.Sp
One of the most important books you could read! Fr. Fahey masterfully details the contrast between the Church's social teachings and organized naturalism, which is nothing more than Freemasonry and the work of other groups which are always striving to make what is now called "Secular Humanism" the dominant ideology ruling the world. They have succeeded to a large degree; but, by reading this book you will not only be better able to recognize their errors, you will be inspired to reverse the gains they have made and help advance the Social Reign of Christ the King!

The Tragedy of James Connolly
The Tragedy of James Connolly
by Fr Denis Fahey, C.S.Sp.
Father Denis Fahey’s pamphlet, The Tragedy of James Connolly, which is now, I am glad to observe, going the rounds among those who study the social problem seriously, is pre-eminently a popular, if scholarly work. Connolly can be and is being gravely misused. The fact that he died within the bosom of the church makes his social heresies all the more a dangerous weapon in the hands of subversivists. Young and earnest trade unionists speak of him in awe, as if, from the Catholic standpoint, he were the complement of Pearse. Father Fahey’s pamphlet will disabuse them of this idea . . .. For all that Connolly was, excepting that he was a social subversivist, we honor him—for his self-sacrifice, his courage, his patriotism.
- Pat Murphy (In The Standard, Jan. 23, 1948)
“Communism is intrinsically wrong, and no one who would save Christian civilization may give it assistance in any undertaking whatsoever”
“In the beginning, Communism showed itself for what it was in all its perversity; but very soon it realized that it was thus alienating the people. It has, therefore, changed its tactics, and strives to entice the multitudes by trickery of various forms, hiding its real designs.” Encyclical Letter of Pope Pius XI, Divini Redemptoris, on Atheistic Communism
Editor’s Notes
James Connolly (1868–1916) was an Irish Patriot and a Socialist labor leader. As a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood he was appointed to be the Commandant of the Dublin Division of the Army of the Irish Republic and was the officer in charge of the occupation of the GPO (General Post Office) in Dublin during the Easter Rising of 1916.
Connnolly was one of the seven signers of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic and one of the sixteen leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising who were executed by the British in Kilmainham Jail. He was the last to be executed there, as he had been seriously wounded in the fighting and had to be brought to the execution on a stretcher and strapped to a chair so that the firing squad would not have to shoot a man lying on the ground in order to execute him.
James Connolly was also a Catholic. The contradiction between his socialist beliefs and his Catholic faith was a problem that he apparently did not understand fully during his active years. As he approached his death he asked for and received the sacraments but his ‘socialist’ legacy has been a problem for Irish patriots ever since. Father Fahey sheds some light on this problem in this treatise that he describes as The Tragedy of James Connolly.

A Landscape with Dragons
A Landscape with Dragons
The Battle for Your Child's Mind
by Michael D. O'Brien
The Harry Potter series of books and movies are wildly popular. Many Christians see the books as largely if not entirely harmless. Others regard them as dangerous and misleading. In his book A Landscape with Dragons, Harry Potter critic Michael O'Brien examines contemporary children's literature and finds it spiritually and morally wanting. His analysis, written before the rise of the popular Potter books and films, anticipates many of the problems Harry Potter critics point to. A Landscape with Dragons is a controversial, yet thoughtful study of what millions of young people are reading and the possible impact such reading may have on them.
In this study of the pagan invasion of children's culture, O'Brien, the father of six, describes his own coming to terms with the effect it has had on his family and on most families in Western society. His analysis of the degeneration of books, films, and videos for the young is incisive and detailed. Yet his approach is not simply critical, for he suggests a number of remedies, including several tools of discernment for parents and teachers in assessing the moral content and spiritual impact of this insidious revolution. In doing so, he points the way to rediscovery of time-tested sources, and to new developments in Christian culture.

Freemasonry - Mankind's Hidden Enemy
Freemasonry - Mankind's Hidden Enemy
With Current Official Catholic Statements
by Br. Charles Madden OFM, Conv.
The Church has faced many threats in her lifetime, from both within and without. In the last two hundred plus years, however, one threat in particular has posed the most insidious trials for Holy Mother Church: Freemasonry. This shadowy, secretive organization appears in modern times to be little more than a country club, and yet in fact it has been the spearhead of a diabolical policy of secularism, irreligion, and atheism for generations now, exerting great influence in politics and civil society.
This book covers the hidden, divisive, and profoundly deicidal and anti-Christic agenda of the Freemasons and masonic movements throughout the past centuries. Quoting Leo XIII's encyclical Humanum Genus (1884), this book proves that Freemasonry remains a significant danger to Catholicism today. Also provided are current magisterial statements affirming the condemnation of Freemasonry and all it stands for, as well as forbidding all entry into this dangerous and diabolical cult.
This second edition includes chapters on the relationship between the Masons and the mafia and a ceremony of the "30th degree" of Freemasonry that involves trampling on the papal tiara. All Catholics need to know the evils of this ideology and how deeply, utterly it despises Our Lord and His Holy Church.

'This book compares the texts of the Traditional rites and the Novus Ordo rites for the seven sacraments, so we can offer substantial reasons for choosing one rite over the other. The plan of the book is simple. For each sacrament, we describe patterns of changes in the texts; then, we lay the texts side by side with comments so you can see particular changes and see the patterns. Finally, we end the comparison of each sacrament by offering some conclusions. Throughout this book, we use the term Traditional to distinguish the Roman Catholic rites before 1962. The authors of the rites promulgated after 1968 use the term Novus Ordo, translated New Order, to describe their new rites. An objective comparison of the texts clearly shows the differences. As St. Thomas Aquinas observed, "What is objectively real is objectively true." The differences in the two rites are objectively real. 220pp'
