Errors

Disputed Questions About Redemption
The Theological Notion of the Paschal Mystery
by Fr. Alvaro Calderon

Before the Second Vatican Council, neo-Modernists developed a new theology on Redemption. It characterized Redemption as a paschal mystery centered on Easter rather than as a payment of sin on the Cross. In this critical volume, Fr. Calderon masterfully distills the problems of post-Vatican II ecclesiastical and liturgical theology into four key questions. By doing so, he guides readers through the necessarily dense but important issues concerning the Mass while correcting and refuting modernist errors. His use of Thomistic reasoning demonstrates powerfully how philosophically and theologically flawed the contemporary Catholic Church’s ecclesiastical worldview remains and why its tenets cannot stand up to serious scrutiny.

“The fundamental question of the reform of the Mass is discussed here under three aspects: theological, liturgical, and pastoral. Combining rigorous thought with forceful expression, these essays propose a lucid vision of the current crisis.”—Fr. Álvaro Calderón

The Theory Evolution Judged By Reason and Faith
by Cardinal Ernesto  Ruffini

Though published in 1959, this work is more important than ever in our times since the question of evolution is central to the errors of Modernism. In a scholarly study, Cardinal Ruffini (1888-1967) expounds what the Catholic Church teaches on the subject, and then ably demonstrates how modern science contradicts the theories of evolutionists. He also shows how evolution applied to living beings has no scientific basis and as applied to man cannot be admitted.

The Roots of Violence
by Fr Vincent Miceli S.J.

“We are living in an era whose atmosphere is saturated with the flames of hatred. It is an age of violence whose tempo of disruption is so rapidly escalating that there is scarcely a city anywhere in the world where humans can be assured of normal, physical security.”

So wrote visionary bestselling author Fr. Vincent Miceli, S.J., whose classic book Roots of Violence breaks open the philosophical roots of violence from a Christian perspective. What is the taproot that is causing the metastasizing delirium for violence we’re seeing today? It is the attack against God. It is hatred of truth.

The refusal to serve God was the rallying cry Satan used to incite violence and rebellion among the angels as they stood trial in the vestibule of Heaven. Miceli explains that Christ Himself testified that this “father of lies was a murderer from the beginning,” thus making the connection between hatred of truth and lust for violence. Christ warned the Pharisees that men who reject God’s plan for their salvation are destined to imitate Satan’s deeds.

In these gripping pages, Fr. Miceli reveals:

• How we are living in the Age of the Persistent Lie
• The fundamental aspect of violence that must be identified to conquer its plague
• The greatest lie of all — and how you can refute it
• Five elements that constitute the nature of violence per St. Thomas Aquinas
• What is really behind the metaphysics of murder (Can you guess?)
• Two ways modern violence is different from historical violence
• The connection between avarice, which causes other vices, and violence
• Two crimes that warrant God’s vengeance against individuals and groups

Fr. Miceli further lays out for you how Nietzsche was the prophet who foresaw and foretold the coming of the beast of violence. Indeed, he heralded its greatest commandment, whose faithful practice would create a society of savages. “The time has come,” he wrote, “to oppose morality with immorality, to call what priests call good, evil, and what they call evil, good. The time has come for the transvaluation of all values.”

Drawing from shocking examples of violence from biblical to recent times, Fr. Miceli describes the significance of these events in light of truth and reason and explains how Christians should respond. You will find the seven conditions for a just war, the difference between violence and terrorism, an appendix with excerpts from St. John Paul II’s writings on violence, and more.

The Twenty Ecumenical Councils
by Fr. Clement Raab, O.F.M. 

The Church is essentially conservative. Her conservatism is not merely a measure of prudence and good judgment; it is an intrinsic necessity. No matter what she may consider, decide, or undertake, she always harks back to the beginning.After twenty [one] centuries the “pillar and ground of truth” has not moved a whit from her primitive position, while all other human foundations have either crumbled to dust or have been driven headlong by the maelstrom of this fast changing world. To these, the ideal looms hazily in the distant future; to the Church, it stands firmly in the distant past. The closer she aligns herself with Christ, the surer she is of ultimate success and victory, being “built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone” (Eph. II:20).

The present volume is designed to serve as a ready survey and reference book on the history of the councils. It is to serve as an aid, primarily to the cleric or lay student who has neither the time nor the opportunity to delve into, and analyze sources and controversies, but who is satisfied to learn the outstanding facts and findings concerning which Church historians generally agree. This brief and positive sketch of the twenty great events in history, so vibrant with life and so far-reaching in their consequences, will afford him, we trust, a very definite and appreciable knowledge of the nature and history of Holy Mother Church.

Originally published in 1937, this re-issue of Fr. Raab’s classic work on the history of the Ecumenical Councils did not include anything about Vatican II, because its convocation still lay in the future. We have not added to his work since so much has already been written of the newest Council elsewhere.

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 Unity of the Human Race and Interreligious Dialogue
• The Church of Christ and Ecumenism
• The Recomposition of the Visible Unity

The Doctrinal Problems Posed by Ecumenism:

• The Church of Christ is the Catholic Church
• Belonging to the Church by a Triple Unity
• Outside of the Church There is No Salvation

The Pastoral Problems Posed by Ecumenism:

• Ecumenism Begets Doctrinal Relativism
• Ecumenism Turns Souls Away from the Church.

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!

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.

Topics defined, explained, and refuted by this book:

• Inversion of the Common Good, Anthropocentrism, Catholic Humanism
• Reinvention of Authority, Conciliar False Optimism
• Humanistic Naturalism, Conciliar Naturalism 
• The Church and the Kingdom of God according to Lumen Gentium
• The New Church, Humanism, Inclusivity, and Innovation in the Council 
• How Humanism Eventually Becomes Liberalism  
• Humanism needs Subjectivism and Autonomy of Conscience 
• Church and World Religions the Opening of the Ecumenical Pathways
• And Many More Topics . . .

While this book is not an easy read, it is certainly a must read for any serious Catholic looking to understand the difference between what the Church has always taught and the philosophical mutation that has eroded the hearts and minds of Catholic prelates, priests, and faithful since the Renaissance till our modern day.

"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

The Realist Guide to Religion and Science
by Fr Paul Robinson

Why do some religious believers slaughter those who refuse to convert to their faith, refuse scientific evidence for an ancient universe, or hold God to be an utterly arbitrary being? 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.

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.

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.

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.

Catholic Apostolic and Roman
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 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.

What Vatican II Should Have Done
In 1959, a Bishop in Brazil wrote this letter of advice and warning
by Bishop Gerald de Proenca Sigaud

In 1959, in preparation for Vatican Council II, Domenico Cardinal Tardini sent out a letter requesting suggestions from all the world's bishops. Bishop Gerald de Proenca Sigaud, Bishop of Jacarezinho in Brazil sent back this reply on August 22, 1959 to the Cardinal. This response is remarkable for its clarity and foresight. One can only imagine that these issues would have been taken up by the council if the work of the Preparatory Council (of which Archbishop Lefebvre was a member) was not disgarded in the first session.

Natural Family Planning and Christian Moral Code
by Jeanne Dvorak

This book was written by a Catholic mother of 14 and grandmother of 50 and counting…. It reiterates the constant and never-changing Catholic teaching on Natural Family Planning (NFP).

The Catholic faithful have been mislead into thinking that NFP (it is ANYTHING but natural and does not produce families - it damages them) is not contrary to the Catholic faith. Acceptance of this fatal error has afflicted many Catholics for the last 70 years, and the acceptance of that practice has caused untold suffering and the decay and destruction of countless Catholic marriages and families.

This short and powerful book will demolish any notions you may entertain that one can live a faithful and holy life while practicing “Catholic birth control.” There is no such thing!NFP is contrary to Nature and to God's will. God plans families—not us.

Natural Family Planning and the Christian Moral Code by Jeanne Dvorak, is in its fourth printing. This book reaffirms that NFP was just a novel and sinful introduction to the modern Catholic world. This compact treatise now includes a 1940 letter from the Archbishop of St. Paul, MN, in which NFP is condemned. Natural Family Planning and the Christian Moral Code does more than just examine the negative. It allays fears and bolsters confidence through its many stories and examples of obedient Catholic parents living their family life with faith and trust in God. Children are the first purpose of marriage – better to have them on your lap than on your conscience!
