The Great Facade: Vatican II and the Regime of Novelty in
the Roman Catholic Church
by Christopher A. Ferrara and Thomas A. Woods, Jr.
Price: $21.95
Paperback, 400 pp.
Publisher: Remnant Press, 2002
All about the errors committed by the post-Vatican II hierarchy, papolatry,
the ridiculousness of post-conciliar "ecumenism," the errors of the new
collegiality, etc. While "Iota Unum" at left is a more comprehensive, almost
encyclopedic look at the post-conciliar Church, "The Great Facade" is a
no-punches-pulled, easier to read book that cuts to the chase and is more
suited for those who are new to the issues and just want the facts without
too much in-depth analysis. "Iota Unum" is the book you'd want to give to
your neo-con theologian; "The Great Facade" is the book you want to give
to your confused Mom. It's a MUST read! See
"The Great Facade" website
here. |

We Resist You To The Face
by Atila Sinke Guimarães, Michael J. Matt, John Vennari, Marian T.
Horvat, Ph.D.
Price: $10.00
Paperback, 168 pp.
Pub Date: April 2000
The Statement of Resistance, an open letter to John Paul II, intends to be
an invitation for a respectful dialogue. The work lays out 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. |

Close-ups of the Charismatic Movement
by John Vennari
Price: $12
Format: Paperback, 175 pp.
Pub Date: April 2002
Review: "In an eminently readable fashion, John Vennari has documented the
most bizarre and dangerous phenomenon that has penetrated the post-Vatican
II Church. The charismatic movement has injected into the Mystical Body of
Christ a virulent strain of Protestantism that threatens the very structure
of Catholicism. Vennari combines eyewitness reporting with in-depth research,
and the result is a crucial contribution to the history of this lamentable
epoch." |
The Rhine Flows Into the Tiber
by Ralph M. Wiltgen
Price: $16.50
Format: Paperback, 304 pp.
Tan Books & Publishers, Inc.
ISBN: 0895551861
(December 1991)
Customer Review: This is an unparalleled eyewitness account of just what
transpired at the Second Vatican Council. The author's integrity and objectivity
won him exclusive interviews with a great number of the Cardinal and Bishops,
whatever their allegiance within the Council. The title neatly sums up the
fact that Vatican II, and the documents of Vatican II, were shaped largely
by the liberal ideas of the Fathers from the Rhine lands. In The Rhine Flows
into the Tiber, the strategies of the liberals in promoting their ideas come
through on every page. Father Wiltgen's journalistic masterpiece shows clearly
the two main theological forces that were at work in the church before the
Council, during the Council, and after the Council, and which remain very
much at work in the Church today. Here are the actions and actual words of
the famous personalities of the Council, including Cardinals Ottaviani, Frings,
and Suenens; Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre; Fathers Karl Rahner, Joseph Rarringer,
and Hans Kung - and of course, Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI. This book
is essential for anyone who would understand the new orientations which came
to the fore with Vatican Council II - including the famous "Spirit of Vatican
II" orientations which have led to momentous destruction and unprecedented
changes in the entire Roman Catholic Church. Important reading! |

Pope John's Council
by Michael Treharne Davies
Hardcover
Publisher: Arlington House Pub (August 1977)
ASIN: 0870003968
Customer review:
Pope John's Council is an unbiased examination of the procedure, work, documents,
and friuts of the Second Vatican Council by the President of the International
Una Voce Federation. Its fair, even-handed approach is to use large quotations
from Popes, bishops, theologians, and Protestant observers who participated
in the council.
Mr. Davies cogently argues that it is the ambiguity in the conciliar documents
themselves, not the "Spirit of Vatican II" alone, that has lead to so much
confusion. Pope John's Council goes a long way towards explaining causes
of the devastation in the Catholic Church that Cardinal Ratziger has commented
on extensively the last few years. |
Trojan Horse in the City of God: How Godlessness Crept into
the Sanctuary-And How to Thrust It Out Again
by Dietrich Von Hildebrand
Paperback: 272
pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.00 x 9.25 x 6.25
Publisher: Sophia Inst Pr; (November 1, 1999)
ASIN: 0918477603
"...a pull-no-punches
analysis of the causes of the continuing Catholic chaos. ...You'll find here
an arsenal of defenses for the unchanging, eternal Faith. Von Hildebrand
shows again and again that ideas that many modern Catholics take for granted
are actually subtle but potent threats to the integrity of the Church. He
exposes the secularization that threatens to rot away the Church's very sources
of strength. And he demolishes a great deal of the woolly thinking that is
found today even in the highest reaches of the Church."

"Devastated Vineyard." |

Judaism's Strange Gods
by Michael A. Hoffman
Price: $12.95
Paperback:
144 pages
Publisher: Independent History; (August 30, 2000)
ISBN: 0970378408
In this scholarly and deeply considered work, the author documents his
provocative thesis that Judaism is not the religion of the Old Testament,
but the newly formalized belief system of the Pharisees, which arose in Babylon
with the commitment of the formerly oral “tradition of the elders”
to writing, in the wake of the crucifixion of Israel’s Messiah and the
destruction of the Temple. |

The Stripping of the Altars
by Eamon Duffy
Price: $12.92
Paperback
- 700 pages
Paperback: 700 pages
Publisher: Yale University Press; 2nd edition (May 10, 2005) Language: English
ISBN: 0300108281
Product Dimensions: 9.3 x 6.3 x 1.7 inches
This prize-winning
account of the pre-Reformation church recreates lay people’s experience
of religion in fifteenth-century England. Eamon Duffy shows that late medieval
Catholicism was neither decadent nor decayed, but was a strong and vigorous
tradition, and that the Reformation represented a violent rupture from a
popular and theologically respectable religious system. For this edition,
Duffy has written a new Preface reflecting on recent developments in our
understanding of the period.

Reform of the Roman Liturgy: Its Problems and
Background
by Monsignor Klaus Gamber
Price: New and Used from $35.00
Paperback:
Publisher: Roman Catholic Books; (September 1993)
ASIN: 0912141050
"As we have already
observed, the liturgical reform welcomed with so much idealism and hope by
many priest and lay people alike has turned out to be a liturgical destruction
of startling proportions--a debacle worsening with each passing year. Instead
of the hoped-for renewal of the Church and of Catholic life, we are now
witnessing a-dismantling of the traditional values and piety on which our
faith rests. Instead of a fruitful renewal of the liturgy, what we see is
a destruction of the forms of the Mass which had developed organically during
the course of many centuries." (page 9) |
