Why Apologize for the Spanish Inquisition Very Rev Fr Alphonsus Maria Duran, Rev Fr Paul Mary Vota This is a very handy reference booklet for all Catholics zealous to defend our holy religion and the one true Church instituted by Jesus Christ. Co-authors, Father Duran, M.J., founder of Miles Jesu, and Father Vota, M.J., have done a great service in providing historical facts, many provided by Protestant writers, which amply vindicate the Catholic Church from all the calumnious lies commonly propagated by the unscrupulous as portraying the facts about the Spanish Inquisition. Astounding enough, in 1994 the British Broadcasting Company came out with an unbiased documentary entitled: The Myth of the Spanish Inquisition. The admissions, coming across the air waves of this apostate nation, astounded viewers, and the priests from Miles Jesu make good use of them in their monogram. Totally obliterated is the notion that thousands of innocent people were being cruelly tortured and killed by sadistic ecclesiastical inquisitors. Other anti-Catholic fabrications are confronted and buried with an abundance of documented information of which Catholics can be proud and bigots confounded. This monogram is an excellent reference source for Catholics (and open-minded Protestants) who want to know the truth about the Spanish Inquisition. The two priests from Miles Jesus who collected such invaluable information about this and other commonly accepted misrepresentations of Catholic history have done a great service in providing such finger-tip data with irrefutable rebuttals that will overturn the tables on propagandists of misinformation. That is, if we do our part as propagandists for truth. [more details...] Code: B1756 £4.50 Add To Order
Scruples and Sainthood Trent Beattie Are you deeply concerned about religion, not simply as a devout soul, but to the point of being frantic? Are little, inconsequential things the occasion of losing your peace of mind? Do you feel as though you need to repeat what has already been sufficiently done, such as a confession? If so, you’re likely suffering from scrupulosity. What is scrupulosity? In psychological terminology, it is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (O.C.D.) directed toward religious matters. To use religious terminology, it can be defined as an uneasy and persistent concern that things might be sinful when in fact they are not. Some of the greatest saints of the Church suffered at times from bouts of scrupulosity, saints such as Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), Francis de Sales (1567-1622), Jane de Chantal (1572-1641), Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787), Thérèse of Lisieux (1873-1897), and Katharine Drexel (1858-1955). Far from being taken as insurmountable obstacles, these saints emerged from their scruples into the clarity of God’s truth and merciful love in His Catholic Church. This book is meant to help scrupulous souls better understand and effectively battle their spiritual difficulties by uniting themselves with Our Lord, through the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Catholic Church. This is done by presenting the clear and simple teachings of the Church on matters relevant to the scrupulous, with emphasis on the writings of great saints. No obstacle is too difficult to overcome for one who prayerfully trusts in God, and this includes the problem of scrupulosity. [more details...] Code: B1757 £11.95 Add To Order
Counsels to Confessors Saint Leonard of Port Maurice A discourse addressed to an assembly of missionary priests. This book is exactly what the title implies, sound advice for the healing of souls in the confessional. Saint Leonard was one of the great confessors of all time. He was a Franciscan and a missionary preacher. Jesus is the physician of our souls, and it is through his priests that he exercises this healing power in our ailing world. Our hope is that priests and laymen may, through the study of this small volume from one of the great Franciscan confessors of the 18th century, arrive at a more thorough understanding of, and a greater love for, the healing sacrament which reconciles the sinner to the all powerful, all just, all seeing, and all merciful God.

The Valiant Woman Monseigneur Landriot The Valiant Woman, Conferences for Women, by Msgr. Landriot, Archbishop of Rheims. The most valiant of all women is the Blessed Virgin Mary. The word valiant derives from the Latin verb "valere", meaning 'to be strong.' True valiance is exhibited by courage in battle, which is the fruit of the cardinal virtue of fortitude. Although the habitual virtue of fortitude is most manifest under its higher aspect as a gift of the Holy Ghost--that is, when its possessor (guided by prudence and justice) is engaged in a confession of faith wherein the danger of death is imminent (as with the martyrs)--it is also manifest in the daily trials of the soldier of Christ who conquers inordinate self-love with God's grace. The valiant Christian woman does not have to exhibit the heroism of a St. Joan of Arc, but she must rule well the kingdom of her home in prudence, mercy, justice and truth. In figurative parables, the Holy Ghost Himself describes "le femme forte" in the last twenty verses of the "Book of Proverbs." This magnificent book, written by Monseigneur Jean Francois Landriot, Bishop of La Rochelle, is an extended version of domestic oriented discourses each of which he delivered for 16 consecutive months in the mid 1800's to the married ladies of the Society of Charity. The eloquent prelate begins the addresses with a theme drawn from the final verses of the inspired similitudes of Solomon. Landriot (later, Archbishop of Rheims) then proceeds to expound upon the moral of the passage with a practical brilliance that could only have come from a confessor whose heart was well seasoned in discerning the particular characteristics and maternal predispositions of the feminine soul. What emerges from these 213 pages is an achievable ideal for every daughter of Eve who possesses a wounded nature elevated by sanctifying grace. Not one page fails to demonstrate what grace, what beauty, and what joy supernature can bring forth in the life of a woman called to the vocation of Christian motherhood.

Communion under Both Kinds Michael Davies An Ecumenical Surrender. In November of 1978, in defiance of Pope John Paul II, the Bishops of the U.S.A. authorized the distribution of Holy communion under both kinds to the laity at Sunday Mass. This rebellion resulted in a partial surrender by the Vatican in 1984—giving permission for limited and regulated usage of Communion under both kinds. These developments, everything between 1978 and 1984 and up to the present, are documented by Davies in this edition. The history of Communion under one kind in the Latin Church and the resultant complaints of Protestants is also well documented. [more details...] Code: B1703 £7.95 Add To Order
Communion in the Hand Most Rev. Juan Rodolfo Laise Documents & History.

Seeking an answer to this question and to defend my decision – which was very controversial with some ecclesiastical sectors that spoke out in the media – I encouraged a deeper investigation of the history of this usage.

Saint Pius X: Restorer of the Church Yves Chiron Saint Pius X is the first pope in modern history to be canonized since Saint Pius V in 1712. The Church canonized him because of the heroic virtues he practiced in his private life and also in the performance of his ecclesiastical duties: Assistant Priest, Pastor, Canon, Episcopal Chancellor, seminary spiritual director, Bishop, Cardinal Patriarch of Venice, and Pope from 1903 to 1914. Yves Chiron's fresh biography breaks new ground by establishing an exact, fair portrait of Saint Pius X, who is often portrayed as a pious pope of great Faith, but "retrograde, simplistic and close minded to modern aspirations and new ideas." The work accomplished by Saint Pius X was monumental. He was not a pietistic simpleton, but a powerful and brilliant defender of the True Faith in the face of the Modernism that was invading the Church even in those days - the beginnings of the Liberalism that resurfaced at Vatican II. Mr. Chiron demonstrates that he was a tireless defender of the rights of the Church against secularism. He was a great reforming pope; restoring Gregorian chant as the sacred music of the Church; reforming the Curia; initiating the codification of Canon Law, and devoting himself especially to reforming the seminaries in order to form pious, zealous young priests, on guard against the creeping infection of Modernism. In researching this book, Yves Chiron draws from many sources, especially from Italy, where this great man, so beloved by his countrymen, rose from being a poor country farm boy to being the Vicar of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The author was also able to research the Secret Vatican Archives. There is no better "rags - to - riches" story, for he came from a poor but hardworking family and rose to the heights of spiritual riches. This book not only relates the historical events of the Pope's life but offers many personal stories that are like windows into his soul and clearly show his saintly personality. Includes 24 pages of photographs. [more details...] Code: B1667 £18.50 Add To Order
Lead Kindly Light: The Life of John Henry Newman Michael Davies The author refutes the myth of Cardinal Newman’s Liberalism and supports what Newman himself said “For thirty, forty, fifty years I have resisted to the best of my powers the spirit of Liberalism in religion.” St. Pius X came to Newman’s defense against those accusing Newman of Liberalism and said “. . . they should follow Newman the author faithfully by studying his books . . . let them understand his pure and whole principles, his lessons and inspiration. . . .” Pope Pius XII described him as “the pride of Britain and the Universal Church.” The reason that Newman can be so easily misrepresented is because relatively few Catholics are familiar with his writing. The object of this book is not simply to recount the life of England’s greatest convert but to provide the reader with sufficient selections of Newman’s writing to make it clear that St. Pius X was fully justified in exonerating him from the charge of Modernism. John Henry Newman was declared venerable on January 22, 1991. Fully illustrated, 60 lb. cream paper, sewn signatures, gold embossed hardcover. [more details...] Code: B1615 £18.95 Add To Order

The booklet notes the great pastoral insensitivity and ignorance of liturgical history regularly inflicted upon church members, but it also gives the documentation to resist—especially as it affects the celebration of the Traditional Mass.

Cranmers Godly Order: Liturgical Revolution: Vol. I Michael Davies Michael Davies shows that Henry VIII and Thomas Cranmer understood that if you change the way people pray, then you will change what they believe. Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer (1549) began a process that changed the Catholic Church in England to the Anglican sect. Davies compares these changes to the modern liturgical "reforms" and the similarities are shocking. Cranmer's Godly Order is a classic...revised and expanded by Mr. Davies during his final years. Drawing upon the best of Catholic and Protestant scholarship and on primary sources, Davies traces the steps by which the ancient Catholic Mass became the Lord's Supper in the Church of England. And these steps were changes - as Popes and Reformers alike were at pains to stress. Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury under Henry VIII and Edward VI and architect of the new liturgy, was a master of the theology of the Mass, and hated it. The parallels between the Anglican liturgy and the New Mass of the 1960s will be uncomfortably obvious! This book forms volume one of Davies's Liturgical Revolution series with volumes two and three due out by the end of 2008. Nowhere will you find a more thorough example of the axiom Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi est - "As you pray, so will you believe." Cranmer's Godly Order sets the stage for the next two books of the Liturgical Revolution trilogy: Volume Two (Pope John's Council) and Volume Three (Pope Paul's New Mass). Illustrated.

Pope Pauls New Mass: Liturgical Revolution: Vol. III Michael Davies Pope Paul’s New Mass is the third and final book of the Liturgical Revolution trilogy. It is the unparalleled history of how the New Mass was devised, created, and implemented. Beyond this, a list of the manifold liturgical problems of the past generation is documented: from Mass facing the people and revolutionary legislation to Communion in the hand and the problem of the Offertory. For over thirty years this book has been considered the most thorough critique of the New Mass in the English language. Michael Davies, former president of Una Voce, was one of the earliest critics of the liturgical changes in the Mass after Vatican II. “By the mid-1970s the crisis within the Church was deepening. In his general research on the various novelties that were being introduced he had amassed a huge amount of data on the Council and how the great majority of the Fathers had been deceived by the well-orchestrated plan of a clique of European bishops and their liturgical advisers. Michael Davies argued that the Church’s attempted headlong rush into unity with other Christian bodies would, in fact, have the adverse effect to that being proclaimed and was leading swiftly to its decline. Thus was born his great trilogy, Liturgical Revolution. His first volume, Cranmer’s Godly Order (1976), examined the Protestant Reformation, what happened and why. His second work, Pope John’s Council (1977), was written ‘to provide an objective and documented explanation of the fact that the Church in the West is disintegrating and that the responsibility for this disintegration must be laid at the door of the Second Vatican Council.’ His third volume, Pope Paul’s New Mass (1980), provided a detailed examination of the development of the Roman rite, the liturgical legislation pouring out from the Vatican during and after the Council, the prayers and rubrics of the new rite of Mass, and the devastating impact of the changes on the Church throughout the world.”–Leo Darroch, President of Una Voce International. Benedict XVI, on the Death of Michael Davies “I have been profoundly touched by the news of the death of Michael Davies.

The Sources of Catholic Dogma Fr Heinrich Denzinger Translated by Roy Defferrari Ph.D. In this age of doctrinal latitude and speculative innovation there is a pressing need for a comprehensive source book on authentic Catholic dogma that is magisterially anchored while at the same time both practical and non-voluminous. You have such a book in this English translation of Father Heinrich Denzinger’s Enchiridion Symbolorum et Definitionum. Since it was first published a century and a half ago, this handbook or collection (enchiridion) of articles (symbols) of faith and morals has enjoyed universal appeal and approbation since the pontificate of Blessed Pope Pius IX. The Enchiridion has been updated periodically; the edition being offered here by Loreto is that issued in 1957. The collection includes all articles and creeds of the Catholic Faith beginning with that of the twelve apostles, all dogmatic definitions stamped with the Petrine authority of the apostolic See (ex cathedra), decrees of the solemn magisterium, papal bulls, encyclicals and letters, as well as some of the more weighty decisions of the Holy Office prior to 1957. Although not every entry in this 653 page compendium of Church teaching is definitional (i.e. ex cathedra) it still should be considered the "locutus est" for every wayfaring Catholic whose patria, this side of heaven, is Roma. In addition to a general index there is a scriptural index plus an invaluable systematic or topical index making for very easy reference. Note, too, this edition comes with a one page Corrigenda which is a list of sixteen corrections that must be applied to errors (usually omissions) that escaped the eyes of editors in previous editions.

Television: The Soul at Risk Isabelle Dore Television. There are few technological inventions that have had such universal impact in the past century. But what should we think about this phenomenon, especially from a Catholic perspective? A brief study such as this helps demonstrate that, indeed, it is something which puts "the soul at risk." Sooner or later, we all have to make choices: Television in the home or not? Moderate use or not? Grudging toleration or opposition with all one’s might? The best thing to do in making a choice is to consider all the aspects of television and audiovisual media in general. Movies, videos, and DVDs are in various ways both alike and different from TV.

Letters to an Altar Boy This is a book of letters for all altar boys who, from the smallest one up, are the most important people in their parishes. God’s Minutemen is what the author affectionately calls them, for he knows that they are always ready for duty as altar boys, no matter what the personal cost. The author writes this book with the hope that in these letters all acolytes may find encouragement to continue being loyal and faithful in their service of our Lord. Father Rosage shows them that while serving Mass is the greatest honor and the biggest job in the parish, it does demand sacrifice. He knows that being on call for duty isn’t always easy, and he aims at convincing the boys who have to get up on cold winter mornings to serve early Mass of the great privilege that is theirs. Written in an easy flowing style intelligible to even the very young boys, the book is full of helpful pointers about the correct manner of serving, the necessity of being on time, and many other details on which a boy may slip. It offers inspiration and high motivation for living up to the ideals that a Mass server is committed to follow. An extremely practical book, it leaves not one phase of the altar boy’s life untouched... With Colour Photographs. [more details...] Code: B1849 £6.95 Add To Order

Liturgy the Life of the Church, without doubt one of the Movement’s seminal works, provides a solid foundation for those who accept the challenge and the urgency of reviving and of realising this vision in the twenty-first century.

Our Glorious Popes Sr. Catherine M.I.C.M. “I could not put it down.” Such enthusiastic responses as this are typical upon reading this powerfully written history of the Church as illustrated in the challenging pontificates of ten of her more illustrious champions of orthodoxy. As one reads through the first forty-two pages, one is virtually taken on a journey through some four hundred years of tempus ecclesiae, from the momentous entrance of Saint Peter into the fearsome capitol of Satan’s doomed empire, to the triumph of the last Christological Council, Chalcedon, held under the pastoral eye of Leo I, the first Pope that Catholic posterity dared to call “the Great.” Sister Catherine vividly brings to life the painful and virile maturation of the Church Militant from its infancy in Jerusalem to its full manhood as expressed by the Toma of Leo solemnly read at Chalcedon in 451. The remaining bulk of information dovetails into the major periods of religious crises and tells of those heroic Popes who steered the Church through these gravest trials. For example, see how the little known Greek Pope Saint Zachary fought the Moslem influence which generated eastern Iconoclasm; see the Gregorys form the temporal city of God into the vibrant and monolithic power that Jesus intended; and see how the two Pius’s re-establish orthodoxy with one sword and humiliate the brazenly open anti-Christian forces with the other — burying them — for a time.
