Our Lady of Quito: Queen of Ecuador
Paul M. Kimball (Translator)
Paperback $5.99
   Kindle Edition  $5.49

"Our Lady of Quito" as she is known in the English speaking world is known in Ecuador as "La Dolorosa," which means "The Sorrowful Lady." She was officially crowned by order of Pope Pius XII in 1956, the fiftieth anniversary of the miracle of her picture opening and closing its eyes in front of forty children who attended a Jesuit boarding school which was then being targeted for persecution by the Masons who were throttling this Catholic country. Soon after, the miracle was also witnessed by numerous adults, including atheists who thereupon converted, when the picture was transferred to a nearby church.

  On the Just Punishment of Heretics

On the Just Punishment of Heretics
Alfonso de Castro O.F.M. (Author)
Hardcover $47.45    Kindle Edition  $9.99

The chief goal of this book is to fight for the Catholic Church, as a son for the honor of his mother, against those who teach the impunity of heretics, and defend it so that it may shown that she has decreed nothing unjust, and she has decreed nothing which is unbecoming a true mother. No one ever has discussed this subject. For even though many Catholic theologians and learned men have written against those men who teach the impunity of heretics, who argue with many and very evident reasons, in favor of the punishment of heretics, that the punishment of heretics is very just, yet none of them has proved that all those punishments, which were decreed by canon and civil law against heretics are just: nor about this matter did any of them ever discuss.

Sacerdotal Retreat
Mateo Crawley-Boevey SS.CC (Author)
Paperback  $9.99   Kindle Edition $9.99

What better way to rekindle the fire of charity in God’s Church than by preaching retreats, especially to priests? In these conferences Fr Mateo Crawley draws from his profound faith and ardent zeal. In them he instructs priests that sanctity can be attained simply through the fulfillment of their duties of state, yet only when performed with a supernatural spirit of union with Christ crucified. He also underscores the sublime dignity of the priesthood as well as the tremendous value of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which is the priest’s primary means for his own sanctification and apostolate.

  Cardinal Newman: Trojan Horse in the Church

Cardinal Newman: Trojan Horse in the Church
by Rev. Paul M. Kimball (Author)
paperback $7.99    Kindle version $7.99

The conversion of Cardinal Newman, an educated, renown Anglican, gave respectability to converting to Catholicism in England. Recusant Catholics had been treated as social outcasts and persecuted when the English monarchy outlawed the practice of the true faith. Hence the Catholic hierarchy rejoiced when Cardinal Newman broke the ice for many Anglicans to enter the Church and eloquently defended the Catholic faith. Yet, heroes are still human, and converts to the Church are practically unable to completely discard their non-Catholic mindset simply by their baptism. All this made the Catholic hierarchy both in Rome and in England both praise and fear this newly adopted son. How could his Protestant mindset be criticized and he still be used as a showpiece of Catholic respectability? Cardinal Newman’s theory of the development of doctrine, along with his other ideas that were controversial during his time, are herein analyzed by renown theologians and an equally literary Catholic, Orestes Brownson. On the other hand Newman’s famous biographer, Wilfred Ward, made the Cardinal an untouchable anti-liberal to traditionally minded Catholics, yet an avian guard liberal pioneer to liberal Catholics, including the very founders of the school of Modernism. Even if it can be argued that Newman act in good faith, what is not generally known is that he formed his own school of thought within the Church favoring a mutability of Catholic doctrine, seemingly adopted and acclaimed by the Second Vatican Council.

  The Life of Pope Pius IX The Life of Pope Pius IX: And the Great Events in the History of the Church During his Pontificate
John Gilmary Shea LL.D.
paperback   $12.99    Kindle Edition  $9.98

Blessed Pope Pius IX (13 May 1792 - 7 February 1878), born Giovanni Maria Mastai-Ferretti, was the longest-reigning elected Pope in the history of the Catholic Church, serving from 16 June 1846 until his death, a period of nearly 32 years. During his pontificate, he convened the First Vatican Council in 1869, which decreed papal infallibility. The Pope defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, meaning that Mary was conceived without original sin. Pius IX also granted the Marian title of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, a famous Byzantine icon from Crete entrusted to the Redemptorist priests. In addition to this, Pius IX was also the last Pope to rule as the Sovereign of the Papal States, which fell completely to Italian nationalist armies by 1870 and were incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy. Pius IX was also the first Pope to visit the United States. He was beatified in 2000.

  Life of the Venerable Goncalo Da Silveira

Life of the Venerable Goncalo Da Silveira:
Pioneer Missionary and Proto-Martyr of South Africa
Hubert Chadwick, S.J. (Author)
Paperback  $6.49
  

Gonçalo da Silveira was a Jesuit Priest born and educated in Portugal. He was a missionary in India, acting as provincial superior for the Jesuits, before he began his work in southern Africa. He first arrived at Sofala (Mozambique) in 1560, and proceeded to Otongwe near Cape Corrientes.During his stay of seven weeks in Cape Corrientes, he instructed and baptized the Makaranga chief, Gamba, and about 450 people of his kraal. Towards the end of the year, he began his expedition up the Zambezi River to the capital of the Monomotapa. This appears to have been the N'Pande kraal, close to the M'Zingesi River, a southern tributary of the Zambezi..He arrived in Monomotapa on 26 December 1560, and remained there until his death. During this period he baptized the chief and a large number of his subjects. However, at the same time, Arabs from Mozambique had begun to defame the missionary - a plot instigated by one of their priests. Due to this slander, da Silveira was strangled to death in his hut, by order of the chief, on 16 March 1561.
