The War of the Antichrist With the Church and Christian Civilization Catholics have always known that Satan wages a constant war against the Church. Over the last three centuries we have witnessed a far more radical onslaught than ever before, leading to a rapid and universal apostasy among formerly Christian nations. Who or what is behind this greatest of all apostasies from the Catholic Church? Though written over 130 years ago, this book remains stunningly relevant. It covers a plot to de-Christianize the world through the separation of Church and state.
The Traditional Virtues According to St. Thomas Aquinas: A Study for Men This book will challenge every Catholic man to reach the heights of holiness. To mature as a man is to grow in virtue. And yet, year after year, many of us regress in our fundamental calling for a host of reasons: poor catechesis, modernism, isolation, self-absorption, and, to sum it up, the chains of vice. But God calls us to a life of virtue—that is, a life of faith, hope, charity, prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. These theological and cardinal virtues, the “traditional virtues,” which this book walks through, are at the heart and soul of the spiritual life.
The Dogma of HellFr. F. X. Schouppe, SJ “The Dogma of Hell is the most terrible truth of our faith. There is a Hell. We are as sure of it as of the existence of God, the existence of the sun. Nothing in fact, is more clearly revealed than the Dogma of Hell.” —Fr. François Xavier Schouppe, S.J. Many people have contemplated the joys of Heaven, but few Catholics take the dogma of Hell as seriously as they should. Hell is certainly not a topic to be taken lightly, and renowned French theologian Fr. Schouppe, S.J., gives the topic the thoroughness it deserves. Detachment from sin is difficult, but his explanations of the Church’s teachings on Hell show you why it is so important. Hell, the necessary consequence of sin, demonstrates the horror of sin and what it does to our souls. If you can begin to understand the terror of Hell, then you can also begin to free yourself from sinful habits.

"Christ is risen from the dead, trampling death by death and to those in the tombs granting life!"

Witness 400 miracles from such towering figures of sanctity as: • Patrick • Elizabeth of Hungary • Catherine of Siena • Teresa of Avila • Francis Xavier • Rose of Lima • John Bosco And so many more!

The Devil and Karl Marx: Communism’s Long March of Death, Deception, and Infiltration Paul Kengor "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them…For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly place.” — Ephesians 5:11-6:12 In 1837, Karl Marx wrote: “My soul, once true to God, / is chosen for Hell.”While many think the danger of communism has passed, The Devil and Karl Marx proves otherwise. In this book, Paul Kengor describes the demonic nature of communist ideology and how it still exists in our world. Kengor covers all the things you need to know about the present danger of Marxism, including: Karl Marx’s influence historically The Bolshevik war on religion and the Church’s response The Church’s teachings on Atheism and Communism The way Marxism has infiltrated and manipulated members of the Church The way communism influences radicals today
Humility and the Elevation of the Mind to God (hardcover)This classic work from Thomas à Kempis, author of The Imitation of Christ, is now available in English for the first time. It is a simple truth that, without the virtue of humility, we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. It simply cannot be done. Just as pride is the root and source of all sin, so is humility the foundational virtue in which all other virtues must be grounded if they are to bear fruit. Ever since Lucifer’s pride prompted his rebellion from God and Heaven, it has been continuously forgotten that only humility can lead us back to Heaven and union with God. Pride, as we know, is the broad and easy road to Hell. Unfortunately, our world has lost the sense of sin because it has lost the sense of God and virtue, especially humility.

The Life and Revelations of Ann Catherine Emmerich Vol 1Fr. K. E, Schmoger, CSsRBeatified in 2004 by Saint John Paul II, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich stands as a staunch sign of contradiction to the modern world's misguided rationalism and disbelief. She lived at a time when the Church was under complete temporal assault, with impiety on the rise and political losses abounding, all of which made her life of suffering, piety, and special graces all the more potent.Recorded by Fr. Carl E. Schmoeger in the latter half of the 1800s,The Life and Revelations of Anne Catherine Emmerich shows the virtues of this pious nun, which far exceed the visions, revelations, and stigmata she received. Here is the story of a classically holy Bride of Christ: she was sickly, zealous, and extremely charitable; she lacked any self-interest, which made it all the more difficult for her when her visions and supernatural sufferings became public knowledge. Her divine favors, wondrously recounted in this biography, included visions of the lives of Our Lord and Our Lady, as well as the stigmata and other wounds of grace.

Fatima: The Apparition that Changed the WorldJean HeimannHardcover Few place-names in the Christian world conjure up such powerful images and associations as that of this humble town in Portugal.

But she also predicted world historical events, such as the rise and fall of communism, the Second World War, and the attempted assassination of Pope St. John Paul II. She promised refuge in her Immaculate Heart to all who approach her—a promise extended, and urgently needed, today.
