Catholicism

The Bible plays a vital role in the life of the Catholic Church. In fact, we are called to immerse ourselves daily in the Scriptures. But many of us get lost when we actually dive into the Bible, and our time spent can be more frustrating than fruitful.

Rather than turning away from death, great saints such as Robert Bellarmine, the author of this book, use it as a lens through which to view life from the right perspective — God's perspective.

It has been famously pointed out that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, but it was also not an empire in the sense people expect when hearing the term, but it is clear that church clergy occupied a privileged place in medieval society. Europe had inherited Christianity from the Roman Empire, and the concept of a united Christendom and empire were practically synonymous. Indeed, there was no real consciousness of the Roman Empire ever having ended.

The Radical Mind is a groundbreaking analysis of the origins of the Christian Right, whose political victories are radically reshaping the landscape of American society.

In How Catholics Encounter the Bible, award-winning biblical scholar and historian Michael Peppard explores the paradoxical role of the Bible for Catholics—a book central to their tradition, but not usually in the form of a book. Biblical ideas and beliefs are more often mediated through diverse modes of storytelling, artistic imagination, and ritual.

No word in our language is more misunderstood than the word “heart.’ And almost no word is more important, for it refers to what is at the very center of our soul. We have mapped the outer world, in fact the whole universe, with amazing exactness . . . but we have neglected the world within. This new book by venerable Catholic thinker Peter Kreeft offers a map of that inner world, of the self. In it, he takes up the mantle of Dietrich von Hildebrand and plumbs the depths of that most misunderstood (by the world) and overlooked (by philosophers and theologians) part of the human being.

There is no doubt that evil exists and that the devil’s potency has increased in our modern culture of death. The rise in demonic afflictions — from harassment and obsession to oppression and possession — is an alarming testament to the reign of the prince of this world. For decades, Vatican exorcist Fr. Gabriele Amorth has been the leading voice on the demonic, spiritual warfare, and spiritual protection. Even after his death, newly published writings from his extensive archives remain as relevant as ever in our fallen world. In this fresh work, Fr.

In the depths of every human heart lies a longing for something more—a desire that only God can fulfill. Yet our desires are often disordered, leading us away from rather than toward our Creator. How do we align our deepest yearnings with God's perfect will? In this profound spiritual work, you will discover the Lord’s Prayer as more than a formula of words—it is a divine pathway of transformation, a school that reshapes our desires according to the heart of God. Drawing from the rich insights of Saints Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, this meditation guides readers through each petition...

Surveys show that the leading cause of Catholics leaving the Church is not receiving solid, timely answers to questions about their Faith. Heightening this problem is a hostile secular culture that perceives faith as being at odds with science and the modern world. In this incisive book, David Bonagura directly answers one hundred hot-button questions about the supernatural life and Catholicism today. The questions, which were submitted anonymously by young adults in New York City, leave no controversial issue unaddressed.

Belief is not just a vague, feel-good concept. It’s the force that moves mountains, the unseen spark behind every breakthrough, and the invisible architect of the life we live. Every invention, revolution, healing, or transformation that has ever occurred started with someone who dared to believe it was possible—before anyone else could see it. In this book, we’ll explore belief not just from a motivational perspective, but through the lens of ancient wisdom, scriptural truth, and cutting-edge science. We’ll dig into what sacred texts, including the Bible, say about the power of ...

Te quiero, eres importante para mí, cuento contigo: amistad, afecto, aprecio, atención, cuidado, son deseos imprescindibles que nos unen y por los que el corazón siente una sed innata. El ser humano necesita amar y ser amado. De todos es sabido que compartir la bondad reduce las penas y contagia la alegría. El mandamiento del amor que nos dejó Jesús solo nos pide que amemos a los demás y a nosotros mismos de un modo auténtico, porque solo así nuestras vidas serán plenas, ricas y satisfactorias.

This is not a textbook. It’s a conversation. A fresh, reverent, and revealing look into what has been called the greatest mystery of faith. If you've ever wondered what ...

The Sexual Revolution—and the breakdown of the Family—has brought misery to millions. In The Sexual State, Jennifer Roback Morse shows that the Sexual Revolution did not just “happen” like a force of nature. Rather, it was deliberately created by “elites,” harnessing the power of the State, allowing them inflict three false and calamitous ideologies—contraception, divorce, and gender—that have led to widespread and profound unhappiness, and worse.

Rather than turning away from death, great saints such as Robert Bellarmine, the author of this book, use it as a lens through which to view life from the right perspective — God's perspective. Seen this way, death becomes for them — and can become for you — a source of spiritual liberation rather than a reason for fear, enabling you to love the world as it ought to be loved and to answer your final summons with joy. St. Robert Bellarmine makes it simple for you.

This book delves into the true story of Y'shua and Mary Magdalene, challenging the traditional religious narrative. It reveals the hidden truths behind biblical texts, uncovering the suppressed feminine divine and the authentic teachings of Y'shua. The book encourages listeners to question the established religious doctrines and seek their own spiritual path, emphasizing the importance of love, compassion, and inner connection.

Throughout the modern era, Galileo Galilei has been presented as a victim of cruel torture of conscience, theological narrow-mindedness, and ecclesiastical harassment typical of a dark, closed-minded Church. Frequently portrayed as such in theaters due to prevailing political ideologies, the story of Galileo points to the long-held tension between “science and faith,” “technology and ethics,” and “progress and the Church.” The story of the real Galileo, however, which has not been told—until now—is sure to rock the established narrative.

If there is to be real renewal in Christian life, a culture steeped in the blood of the Lamb, saints must rise up to seed it. Only the witness of sanctity can save us now. More than ever, we need heroic men of God like St. Ignatius of Antioch, bishop and martyr of the early Church, whose life and letters Dr. Regis Martin illuminates in these stirring pages. No other writer of the Apostolic Age has expressed with such passion, such blazing intensity, an ardent thirst for God as St. Ignatius, traveling in chains across Asia Minor toward the Colosseum.

When St. Jane Francis de Chantal encouraged St. Francis de Sales to be a bit angrier over the opposition they were facing in starting their religious order, he replied, "Would you have me lose in a quarter hour what has taken me twenty years' hard work to acquire? St. Francis de Sales had quite a temper when he was young. But over time he learned to convert his angry feelings into virtuous action. He knew that anger never leads to happiness. Worse, it causes tremendous harm to our relationship with God.

Obras de Salvación: Fe, Redención y Justicia Social Una exploración bíblica, teológica y práctica del papel de las obras en el camino hacia la salvación ¿Es la salvación un regalo gratuito o una responsabilidad vivida? ¿Cómo se relacionan la fe, las obras y la redención en la historia de la salvación cristiana? ¿Y qué implicaciones tiene esto para nuestra acción en el mundo, especialmente frente a la injusticia social?

LA BIOGRAFIA COMPLETA E PIÙ AGGIORNATA DEL NUOVO PAPA DELLA CHIESA CATTOLICA Nel tardo pomeriggio dell'8 maggio, dopo solo quattro scrutini, la fumata bianca ha annunciato l'elezione del nuovo papa della Chiesa cattolica, Robert Francis Prevost, Leone XIV . Nelle previsioni che si rincorrevano frenetiche nei giorni precedenti, il suo non era certo tra i nomi più gettonati: per molti è stata una sorpresa vederlo affacciarsi dal balcone di San Pietro. Un pontefice già destinato a fare storia, primo statunitense e primo appartenente all'ordine di sant'Agostino a salire al soglio di Pietro.

Blessed, Broken, and Scared. What does that mean? We know that Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it, and shared it with His friends saying, “This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.” The Last Supper challenges us to live in such a way that we actually become the sacred food of Jesus Christ for others as we share our lives with them. And that can be scary! Blessed, Broken, and Scared calls the listener to a conversion from living a scared life to living a shared life. It is in sharing our life with others that we find the healing and peace we truly seek.

Shakespeare and the Catholic Faith is not only a biography of William Shakespeare, but more importantly, it’s about William Shakespeare’s faith and how his faith is reflected, not only in his poems and plays but in all the mysterious parts of his life that nobody could make sense of until now.. For example, why did Shakespeare leave Stratford shortly after the birth of twins Judith and Hamnet and live most of his adult life in London when he could’ve just written his plays from the comfort of his own home in Stratford?
