Books for and About Children

First and foremost is a good children’s bible. Children love stories and there is no better way to ignite a love of God than to read them the stories of his goodness and salvation throughout history. The best children’s bible I’ve seen with not only good accurate catholic biblical story telling but beautiful illustrations is… Continue reading Books for and About Children

Part One of the book Review on The Social Rights of the Divine Lord Jesus Christ the King by Denis Fahey and some Passages in the Book Regarding Religious Indifferentism and Spiritual Blindness in Societies

In the book he speaks of how other “deficient” [my wording not Father Fahey’s] typical civil societies are as opposed to the one Body of Christ – The Catholic Church, and since they only exist on earth, their chastisement will be earthly. What he says is: “ Leo XIII and Pius X spoke In… Continue reading Part One of the book Review on The Social Rights of the Divine Lord Jesus Christ the King by Denis Fahey and some Passages in the Book Regarding Religious Indifferentism and Spiritual Blindness in Societies

Catholic Reference Books

In my opinion, every Catholic needs a go to reference when it comes to the faith. They don’t necessarily need to own it but they should be able to access it at a local library, usually available somewhere in a big city or in a well-built parish that has a library with a good reference… Continue reading Catholic Reference Books

Part 1 of a of 3 part book review Contraception and the Natural Law by Germain G. Grisez

The next 2 parts of this book review will carry quotes that contained adult content and a warning in the title.

Books that are in Catechism Series

There have been two series which almost everyone is aware of and they are the Baltimore Catechism and the New St. Joseph’s Baltimore catechism and you have merely to type them into amazon or a search engine to find them.

Review Of the 4 books in the Religion Essentials Series by way of a quote from the Preface of “Service”

I have not read the series in its entirety, but from what I have read it is quite technically complete and as the “Catholic Faith: A Catechism,” I think, is the best question and answer type 3 book catechism I have seen, the Religious Essentials Series for high school is the best readable prose… Continue reading Review Of the 4 books in the Religion Essentials Series by way of a quote from the Preface of “Service”

[Warning: Adult content] Pride and Modern Western Cultural Practices Especially Concerning Sexual Morality

Pride will always be the thing that brings thinking, sentient beings, which include both men and women as well as organizations, away from the truth, away from happiness and, in the case of religion, toward heresy. To quote Pope Frances from the second paragraph of his first encyclical – The Light of Faith: Lumen… Continue reading [Warning: Adult content] Pride and Modern Western Cultural Practices Especially Concerning Sexual Morality

Books on Happiness

If you google Aristotle on happiness you find: “according to Aristotle, the purpose and ultimate goal in life is to achieve eudaimonia (‘happiness’). He believed that eudaimonia was not simply virtue, nor pleasure, but rather it was the exercise of virtue.” As I understand St. Thomas Aquinas also agreed that the ultimate goal of life… Continue reading Books on Happiness

Part two of the Book review of “Wisdom Shall Enter” and arguments against Pre-destination

This is the second part of a review of the book Wisdom shall enter by Leo Trese, Imprimatur 1957, published by the Fides Publishers Association Chicago in the USA and by Geoffrey Chapman, Ltd. In London. It makes an unusually clear, in my mind at least, explanation of why God’s knowledge of the… Continue reading Part two of the Book review of “Wisdom Shall Enter” and arguments against Pre-destination

Readings or Again Actually Just One Book on “The Real Presence”

The Real Presence is a reality (which we as Catholics must believe) that is unique to ours the True Religion. We believe that a validly ordained priest or bishop can actually change what looks like, and will continue to look like, bread and wine into the actual the body, blood, soul and divinity of God… Continue reading Readings or Again Actually Just One Book on “The Real Presence”
