Though this first book was translated evidently around 1971 by Rev. Patrick O’Connell, D.D. it was first written in Italian by St. Joseph Cafasso and first published in 1947. My copy was published in 1971 by Tan Books, Rockford IL. The title says it all: “The Priest the Man of God: His Dignity and His… Continue reading Books for traditional Catholic Priests for Inspiration and Clarity on Their Vocation

First Part of a Book Review on Joe Heschmeyers Book Pope Peter
This book in my opinion was a great defense of the papacy and the fact that Jesus Christ wanted the organized priesthood to continue to offer sacrifice, though an actual sacrifice, that in some mysterious way is exactly the one offered at Calvery but in a special identical way renewed. This mystery like the… Continue reading First Part of a Book Review on Joe Heschmeyers Book Pope Peter

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.

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

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
