Confession--It's Fruitful Practice By The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration This wonderful and practical little book explains clearly and thoroughly how to make a good ConfessionÑbut in much greater detail than covered in most catechisms. It includes an examination of conscience (plus a discussion of lax, scrupulous and doubtful conscience); contrition and its necessary qualities; the purpose of amendment and its necessary qualities; avoiding the near occassion of sin; the actual Confession of sins to the priest; and the penance given by the priest. The booklet also explains perfect and imperfect contrition and how to make acts of perfect contrition; it then considers |
sacriligious Confession, how to rectify a bad Confession, and General Confession. Confession of venial sins is also discussed, and the many benefits of frequent Confession are explained. After these beautiful, clear explanations, the booklet then guides the reader through prepar- ation for a good Confession, including an examination of conscience based on the Ten Commandments of God and Six Precepts of the Church, worthy reception of the Sacraments, the Seven Capital Sins, duties of specific states of life, and the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. Also included are considerations to excite contrition and prayers before and after Confession. This is truly a most valuable little handbook about Confession, packed with the traditional teachings of the Church on the Sacrament of Penance--a Sacrament which is both the salvation of those in mortal sin and a much-neglected key to growth in holiness for all Catholics. |

Creation Rediscovered By Gerard Keane |
There are two fundamental but contradictory understandings of life and all physical reality from the point of view of their origins: Creation and Evolution. Creation Rediscovered is primarily a study of Evolution, which carefully considers all basic aspects of that belief system - both "Natural |
Evolution" and "Theistic Evolution." The author covers the basic question, the two basic Evolution theories, the concept of "Special Creation," the discoveries of science, the fossil record, genetics, entropy (the conservation of energy, etc.) the age of the universe, pointers to a Creator, the problems with "Theistic Evolution" and "Progressive Creation," and a number of other questions. The upshot is that there is not only no proof for Evolution, but that the proof from DNA shows that Evolution cannot occur! One of the great hallmarks of this important book is the author's discussion of the influence of Evolution on belief systems. He shows in the first part of the book that Evolution as a belief system is not only unfounded, but is contradicted at every turn by the scientific facts. and yet Evolution forms the underlying belief structure of Nazism, Communism, Socialism, Existentialism, Humanism, and Modernism (the formally condemned heretical belief that is rife among today's Catholic clergy and hierarchy). Thus, many of the leading "isms" in today's Church and world are based upon fundamental belief assumptions that are positively wrong! Creation Rediscovered is a pivotal book for all Catholics today because it puts to rest once and for all the possibility for Evolution and it shows that we face the erroneous deductions and false policies of a host of deluded minds in both our Church and in our society. Not enough can be said for the importance of this book . . . to get the fundamentals right regarding our Origins, in order that the rest of our thought and all our actions are based upon the truth. |

The Creator and the Creature By Fr. Faber Fr. Faber's key book, which stands at the "source and origin" of all his others, for it contains the fundamental insight which leads to a proper understanding about all other aspects of our religion. Says men in the modern era accept God's existence, but deny His sovereignty in practice, and he explores the ramifications of this. Though composed in mid-19th century, this book is absolutely on target today, for man's tendency to arrogate to himself the prerogatives of God'--strong in Fr. Faber's time--is epidemic today and cannot but influence Catholics. This book is a powerful awakener! |

THE CRISIS OF CIVILIZATION By Hilaire Belloc Here the great Belloc shows that ever since the disaster of the Protestant Reformation, Western civilization (which was formed by the Catholic Faith) has been coming apart--since Calvinism opened the door to usury, unbridled competition, the domination of the mind by money, and ultimately the return of slavery. Belloc says our 2 choices are a return to Catholicism or chaos! Essential for anyone who would understand our world today! |
