Story
It took nearly two millennia for the enemies of the Catholic Church to realize they could not successfully attack the Church from the outside. Indeed, countless nemeses from Nero to Napoleon succeeded only in creating sympathy and martyrs for our Catholic Faith. That all changed in the mid-19th century, when clandestine societies populated by Modernists and Marxists hatched a plan to subvert the Catholic Church from within. Their goal: to change Her doctrine, Her liturgy, and Her mission.

What is a retrograde? In the words of Shakespeare, a retrograde is one of God’s spies. The retrograde has the unique capacity for understanding the stark chasm between the degenerate, socialist-infiltrated world of decay on one side and the well-meaning, good-hearted, but clueless Christian world on the other. Our aim is to reverse the deliberate, deuced machinations of “radicals” like Saul Alinsky. Rules for Retrogrades is the audiobook men of good will need to win the culture war!

Somehow, this long-discredited economic philosophy is making a comeback, not only on college campuses and political talk shows, but among sincere Catholics. Some think that it could be the answer to greed and globalism. Others even argue that it’s the best way to obey Christ’s command to help the poor. Let’s give socialism a fresh chance, they say. A democratic socialism, this time, friendly to religion and ordered to the common good like the church says the economy should be.

The modern world generates so much noise, he says, that seeking moments of silence has become both harder and more necessary than ever before. Silence is the indispensable doorway to the divine, explains the cardinal in this profound conversation with Nicolas Diat, and he seeks to restore to silence its place of honor and importance.

Throughout much of the 19th century, both secular and Catholic leaders assumed that the Church and the modern world were locked in a battle to the death. The triumph of modernity would not only finish the Church as a consequential player in world history; it would also lead to the death of religious conviction. But today, the Catholic Church is far more vital and consequential than it was 150 years ago.

In The Bible Is a Catholic Book, Jimmy Akin shows how the Bible cannot exist apart from the church. In its origins and its formulation, in the truths it contains, in its careful preservation over the centuries, and in the prayerful study and elucidation of its mysteries, Scripture is inseparable from Catholicism. This is fitting, since both come from God for our salvation. If you're a Catholic who sometimes gets intimidated by the Bible, The Bible Is a Catholic Book will help you better understand and take pride in this gift that God gave the world through the church.

The Summa Theologica, by Thomas Aquinas, is a fundamental text in Catholic doctrine, a compendium of theology that has been studied and debated since its first publication in the 13th century. Furthermore, it has been widely regarded as one of the classics of Western philosophy, not least because, perhaps for the first time in such a systematic manner, it set out to consider the views of non-Christian figures such as Aristotle, Boethius, Muslim writers including Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and Avicenna (Ibn Sina) and the Sephardic Jewish scholar Maimonides.

In this precious short work, Uniformity with God's Will, St. Alphonsus Liguori explains the importance of conforming one’s will to God’s and how to do so; how God is glorified by our resignation to his will even more than by our acts; how to gain peace of mind and serenity by trusting in God, accepting what he wills for our lives, and following his commands.

Publisher's Summary
Some Christians decry the deism of our Founding Fathers, claiming that outright anti-Christian principles lie at the heart of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, crippling from birth our beloved republic.
Here philosopher Timothy Gordon forcefully disagrees, arguing that while anti-Catholic bias kept them from admitting their reliance on Aristotle, Aquinas, and the early Jesuits, our Protestant and Enlightenment Founding Fathers secretly held Catholic views about politics and nature.
Had they fully adhered to Catholic principles, argues Gordon, the "Catholic republic" that is America from its birth would not today be on the verge of social collapse. The instinctive Catholicism of our Founders would have prevented the cancerous growth of the state, our subsequent loss of liberties, the destruction of families, abortion on demand, the death of free markets, and the horrors of today's pervasive pagan culture.
In Catholic Republic, Gordon recounts our nation's clandestine history of publicly repudiating, yet privately relying on, Catholic ideas about politics and nature. At this late hour in the life of the Church and the world, America still can be saved, claims Gordon, if only we soon return to the Catholic principles that are the indispensable foundation of all successful republics.

articulate defense of Catholic Society.
there are several debates in the Catholic world as to whether or not a Catholic Society can exist outside of a simple monarchy, as to whether or not the blueprint of American society is flawed, as to whether real Catholicism is somehow either socialist or beholden to the central authority of a state. Timothy Gordon identifies the answers to these questions very clearly with a thorough explanation of reason. he argues that the Republic requires the basis of Catholic natural-law, and therefore requires Catholicism. He identifies the difference between Thomastic/Aristotelian natural law, with its Catholic understanding, and a later very limited form of natural law found in Enlightenment and Protestant circles. the book goes through a very convincing process of reasoning to make the case that a republic requires a Catholic understanding of natural law in order to function. the book goes through a fairly detailed explanation of the intellectual and ideological underpinnings of the American founding fathers. this shows that the American founding fathers lean heavily on Catholic natural law. unfortunately, the reader is a professional reader with no background in what he's reading. There were several mispronunciations and certain spots where the tone or stress do not seem to fit with the author's writing. having listened to many interviews and discussions with the author, it is strange hearing somebody else's voice expressing the concepts with odd pronunciations and somewhat inaccurate tone. I rated the performance four out of five none the less however. as I referred to the reader as professional above, he absolutely was. The Voice had an energy, was generally likeable, and was not cloying in any sort of way. all things considered, the book is excellent and a must-read for people but care about the intellectual underpinnings of Catholic culture, society, and the well-being of the United States. as an interesting aside, there's a chapter that deals with the concept of "Distributism". this is considered by many to be a third way between capitalism and socialism. Where it is not a third way, the author gives an excellent discussion as to what it is or if it is compliant with Catholic Society.

Lost interest
I am really interested in the subject matter of this book, and was very eager to listen. I got through the introduction and a few minutes into the first chapter when I completely zoned out. The narration does not lend itself to the material. I could not pay attention to what he was saying, and had to rewind several times just to catch the gist of it.I’m going to have to buy the hardcopy. I don’t know why they choose narrators who put you to sleep.

For those American Patriots with a philosophical and theological bent this book will be eliminating and revolutionary. This book should be required reading in every American University. To a trained and Disciplined mind, this book is irrefutable.

Worth a read
If you know who Tim Gordon is, and you appreciate his podcasts, then you will enjoy his book. The subject and arguments are well presented and supported. I think he has a tendency to be wordy at times, but it may not bother you. What SHOULD bother all listeners is the performing reader’s frequent mispronunciation of words. Don’t they give this guy pointers before he starts to record? It’s really grating on the ear. Again, if you are accustomed to Gordon’s butchered pronunciation of Latin (haha), it may not bother you.

Everyone Catholic, Protestant, and Atheist should have an understanding of the content of this book. Tim Gordon does a great job of breaking down Natural Law, Aristotle's virtue ethics, and the historical element each played in the founding of our Republic as well as how it all plays out today. I highly recommend it.

Tim Gordon’s Catholic Republic is without a doubt the best book I have listened to. I was less then half way through before I bought a hard copy. He makes and wonderfully articulates all the arguments that I personally attempted to have with my liberal professors. He is a much better man then I. Though he was way to nice to protestants in this book.

Wake up America. The topics being discussed in this book should be brought up front and center. One of the easiest books I've ever read, it contains some of the greatest and most crucial topics that I've ever seen. A discussion of this nature should be paramount.
