Roman Catholicism

For centuries, the Roman Catholic Church has claimed to be the one true Church founded by Jesus Christ—possessing apostolic authority, infallible tradition, and salvific power. But is this claim rooted in Scripture, or has it been built on centuries of religious distortion, political domination, and doctrinal corruption? In this meticulously researched and unapologetically direct work, Roman Catholicism: A Historical and Theological Refutation of a False Religion, Edward D. Andrews exposes the true nature of Roman Catholicism using Scripture, historical documentation, and conservative ...

The papal tiara has been worn by a number of infamous men through the course of its history. Some have been accused of murder, many have had mistresses, while others sold positions in the church to their followers or gave land and wealth to their illegitimate children. E. R. Chamberlin examines the lives of eight of the most controversial popes, from the reign of Pope Stephen VI, who had his predecessor exhumed, put on trial and thrown in the Tiber, in the ninth century, through to Pope Clement VII, whose failed international policy led to the Sack of Rome in 1527.

What is Catholicism? A two-thousand-year-old living tradition? A worldview? A way of life? A relationship? A mystery?

Using exclusively official Catholic writings, O.C. Lambert compares what the Catholic Church says in public to what they admit in their writings, and frequently finds them in stark contradiction. This volume of the popular Roman Catholicism Against Itself series exposes their suppression of the Bible, the history of Mariology (the worship of Mary as greater than Christ), of praying to dead Catholics--even those who they claim are in Purgatory, the history behind infant baptism, the creation and evolution of the priesthood, deliberate mistranslations of the Bible, and the history of their "...

The first section will give a detailed history of Rome from AD 50 to the modern times. The second section will deal with some ancient prophecies about the rise and fall of papal Rome.

In the late 19th century, Father Charles Arminjon, a priest from the mountains of southeastern France, assembled his flock in the town cathedral to preach a series of conferences to help them turn their thoughts away from this life's mean material affairs - and toward the next life's glorious spiritual reward. His wise and uncompromising words deepened in them the spirit of recollection that all Christians must have: the abiding conviction that heavenly aims, not temporal enthusiasms, must guide everything we think, say, and do.

We live in a world that has become secularized, marked by ideology and partisanship. In such a world, how are we supposed to know what is right and wrong?

Two years before he died, St. Thomas Aquinas, probably the greatest teacher the Church has ever known, was asked by his assistant Brother Reginald to write a simple summary of the faith of the Catholic Church for those who lacked the time or the stamina to tackle his massive Summa Theologica. In response, the great saint quickly set down in language that non-scholars can understand his peerless insights into the major topics of theology: the Trinity, Divine Providence, the Incarnation of Christ, the Last Judgment, and much more.

The Catechism of Trent was published in 1566. It was commissioned by the Council of Trent during the period of the counter-Reformation.

The only true and unedited telling of the life of Christ - his life and times,in historical context, but not lacking the psychology behind his physical being and spirit. Unlike other books seeking to strip Jesus' story to reveal only the human being, Romano Guardini's The Lord gives the complete story of Jesus Christ - as man, Holy Ghost, and Creator. Pope Benedict XVI lauds Guardini's work as providing a full understanding of the Son of God away from the prejudice that rationality engenders.
