BOOKS

NEW! What courtesy is - and how to establish it in the Catholic home
The Family Collection	COURTESY CALLS AGAIN Another book on etiquette? No, Courtesy Calls Again is much more than that. It presents the virtues essential to the practice of an authentic courtesy. It examines and debunks myths that have shaped our modern culture – the cowboy, the pioneer woman, the big boy, the spontaneous man and the natural man. It offers practical advice on how to establish courteous relationships in the home. How should a husband and wife treat each other and give correct example for their children? Why should a father treat his sons and daughters differently? What does a mother do to train her children well? How do parents avoid a child-centered home? The essential elements of sound Catholic relationships in the family unit are presented here. A new American home becomes possible – serious, hierarchical, harmonic, and joyful. Judith Fife Mead and Marian Therese Horvat present models and customs from the rich treasury of Catholic tradition – and challenge us to respond to the urgent call to courtesy. 154 pp. $16 MORE on this book


NEW! Volume XI of the Collection Eli, Eli, Lamma Sabacthani? by Atila S. Guimarăes
Volume Eleven of The Collection	ECCLESIA - The Church The foundation of the new thinking of Vatican II is the concept of the Church as Mystery. To capture this elusive mystery is as difficult as to padlock a ghost. Nonetheless, Guimaraes manages to do so. In *Ecclesia, he analyzes every possible orthodox mystery regarding the Church's doctrine, constitution and mission. Based on this, he easily shows that 'mystery' used by Vatican II is something very different. The Catholic Church becomes the leaven to unite all false confessions in a Pan-religion that fosters a Universal Republic. Other new concepts of Vatican II - People of God, Poor Church, Sinning Church, Servant Church, Church of Love and Church Tolerant - are also analyzed. Each title targets one aspect of the Catholic Church to be destroyed. In this last volume of the Collection, the author arrives at this simple and decisive conclusion: A tree that gives such bad fruits must be cut down. Vatican II is a null and void Council that should be set aside by History. A lucid and encompassing study!* 320 pp. $20 MORE on this book

Third edition, updated, re-edited, improved! Volume I of the Collection on Vatican II
Volume One of The Collection	IN THE MURKY WATERS OF VATICAN II A book that broke the myth of Vatican II. In 1997 when it was first published, no one dared to disagree publicly with the Council. Today everyone dicusses its ambiguity and progressivist influence. Know how ambiguity in the official texts of Vatican II opened the door for progressivist interpretations.

*Volume VI of the Collection Eli, Eli, Lamma Sabacthani?* by Atila S. Guimarăes**
Volume Six of The Collection	WILL HE FIND FAITH? - Inveniet Fidem? Don't miss this important volume by Guimarăes of his collection on Vatican II. After studying the letter and spirit of the Council, he now starts with its fruits. The first fruit is the systematic attack against the Catholic Faith: Until the Council, Faith was an objective ensemble of truths. Now it is subjective. It was absolute, now it is relative. It was universal, valid for all men, everywhere and always. Today it is valid only for particular situations. It was expressed in immutable dogmas. Now it is adaptable to history. And much, much more. This volume shows how after Vatican II the Church adopted Modern Philosophy and applied it to theology. The result is a total inversion made in our Holy Faith. Powerful! 384 pp. $20


A devastating work by A. S. Guimarăes - Special Edition to the Collection
Special Edition to The Collection	VATICAN II, HOMOSEXUALITY, AND PEDOPHILIA Until now, the scandal of homosexuality and pedophilia in the Church has hit priests, Bishops and Cardinals. In this book, Guimarăes shoots higher and denounces the present day Vatican as an accomplice, and raises serious suspicions about the moral behavior of a post-conciliar Pope. Why is all this immorality flooding the Church? Because Vatican II opened the dike, Guimarăes answers, and gives the evidence. The work also sets out Catholic tradition regarding homosexuality, quoting Scriptures, Popes, Saints, and Church law. It analyzes post-conciliar documents that assumed a new tolerant moral approach conflicting with the prior Magisterium. "This book is dynamite!" - A Reader Courageous, frank, thorough.

Two important Statements on crucial issues facing the Church today
The Resistance - "A shot heard around the world !"
The Resistance Statement	WE RESIST YOU TO THE FACE Following the example of St. Paul, four Catholic journalists (Atila Sinke Guimarăes, Michael J. Matt, John Vennari, Marian T. Horvat, Ph.D.) make a public statement of Catholic resistance to the teachings of the Council and of the Popes that are objectively opposed to the Magisterium. The Statement of Resistance is an objective analysis of the consequences of ecumenism and the adaptation of the Church to the modern world, as applied since the Council. The authors affirm that this position implies neither the desire to judge the Pope or to declare the Apostolic See vacant. They base their action on Doctors of the Church, among them St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Robert Bellarmine. A new point of reference in the Catholic panorama A must-read for all Catholics. 168 pp. $10 MORE on this book

In an open letter to the Roman Pontiff they beg him to not change the Papacy. They also suggest opening a dialogue to discuss this crucial topic. Many pictures illustrate and heighten the message. A timely issue. 96 pp. $7 MORE on this book

Volume One by Fr. Manuel Pereira	THE ADMIRABLE LIFE OF MOTHER MARIANA - Volume 1 Now you can know everything about Our Lady of Good Success from the 1790 original manuscript by Fr. Manuel Sousa Pereira. The story and prophecies of Our Lady of Good Success are inseparable from the person of Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres (1563-1635), a Conceptionist religious in Quito, Ecuador. Our Lady asked her to become an expiatory victim for the impurity, heresies, and blasphemies that would be unleashed on the Church in the 20th century. She agreed, thus linking herself to our times in a special way. Her extraordinary life and the revelations she received were written in 1790 by Fr. Pereira, a Franciscan priest she appeared to 150 years after her death. This is Volume I of his work, presented for the first time in English.

Pius XII said he died "the death of a martyr ... a victim for his Faith and Catholic charity."

The powerful influence of Karl Rahner's flawed theology in Vatican II and the post-Conciliar Church
	A Critical Examination of THE THEOLOGY of KARL RAHNER, S.J. by Robert C. McCarthy The German theologian, Karl Rahner, skillfully undermined Catholic theology for years before Vatican Council II. Rahner not only invented a new theology, he invented a new language to describe it! It became, in effect, a "coded" language, understandable only to initiates. This book in many points helps to break the code and lays bare the true meaning of Rahner's bizarre theories, showing how they permeated Vatican II and its aftermath. The thinking of Karl Rahner is especially important today, because he was the mentor of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, today Benedict XVI. Don't miss this one! 62 pp. $7 MORE on this book

	THE BIBLICAL COMMISSION ON THE JEWS: CHANGES IN DOCTRINE & NEW ANATHEMAS A. S.
