Pope Pius XI
STK# 8223
A unique
edition of Pope Pius XI's encyclical Quadragesimo Anno, On the Reconstruction
of the Social Order. Contains an introduction by Bishop Richard N.
Williamson and four color graphs and charts by Bishop Williamson to
help the reader gain a deeper understanding of the text. An invaluable
study guide.
Written partially in response to the Great Depression, the Holy Father
sets forth the principles of Catholic social order. This includes
the right of a worker to a just wage, the proper balance of capital
and labor, the principle of subsidiarity, the twin dangers of economic
individualism and collectivism, the inherent problems of Socialism,
the proper distribution of productive property and the restoration
of the guilds.
"The present state of affairs...clearly indicates the way in
which We ought to proceed. For We are now confronted, as more than
once before in the history of the Church, with a world that in large
part has almost fallen back into paganism. That these whole classes
of men may be brought back to Christ Whom they have denied, we must
recruit and train from among them, themselves, auxiliary soldiers
of the Church who know them well and their minds and wishes, and can
reach their hearts with a tender brotherly love. The first and immediate
apostles to the workers ought to be workers; the apostles to those
who follow industry and trade ought to be from among them themselves."

Guardians
of that Faith. Addressed to the Italian people warning against the
allurements and false promises of the Freemasons.
Pope Leo XIII wrote his encyclical Humanum Genus: On Freemasonry vs Christianity,
on April 20, 1884, and another, Dall'Alto Dell'Apostolico Seggio:
To the bishops, clergy and people of Italy on Freemasonry vs Christianity in Italy,
on October 15, 1890, where he discusses at length the Masonic program
and warned faithful Catholics about its incompatibility and opposition
to the Church's program of eternal salvation. But seeing that the
impious war continued to rage against the Church and particularly
in Italy, he wrote this present encyclical, addressed to the Italian
people, where again he raised a cry of alarm and protest over the
machinations of this secret sect.
Since he had already talked about the principles of Masonry in the
previous encyclicals, he limited himself this time to list its deplorable
effects and accomplishments in Italy. The good pope then exhorts the
Italian people to shake themselves loose from the allurements, false
promises, and threats of this sect; to avoid being drawn into it;
and to fight this battle offensively, opposing press to press, school
to school, organization to organization, congress to congress, action
to action.

Pope Pius XI
STK# 6725
Encyclical
on Christian Education. Principles to be followed by the Church, State,
and Family regarding education. Based on nature and revealed truth.
The inviolable principles which this document lays down regarding
the Church, family and State in the matter of education, are based
on the very nature of things and on revealed truth. They cannot be
shaken by the ebb and flow of events. As for the fundamental rules
which it prescribes, these too are not subject to the wear and tear
of time, since they are only the faithful echo of the Divine Master,
Whose "words shall not pass away."
The encyclical is a real Magna Carta of Christian education, "outside
which no education is complete and perfect." It lends itself
to study, today as it did in the past, by all those who in a spirit
of loyalty, desire to know, in this matter, the genuine and firm thought
of the Church, "to whom belongs, in a very special manner, the
mission of education." In times of difficulty, it provides, with
its clarity of doctrine, a certain guide for the courageous efforts
of Catholic parents and teachers who are desirous of assuring youth
of a formation fully in conformity with the requirements of the faith.

On Atheistic
Communism. The 1927 Soviet Secret Police's official published list
of victims whom they put to death (over a period of 10 years since
the 1917 Russian Revolution) numbered 1,744,674. Furthermore, world-wide
propaganda of unprecedented activity, well-organized and supported
by an unstinted supply of funds, went on without intermission or relaxation,
the effects of which we still suffer today.
The main aim of this campaign was to root out from the minds of the
people the Christian faith and even the belief in God, and to overthrow
the existing civilization founded upon that faith. Pope Pius XI, seeing
this, recalls previous and present solemn condemnations and solemn
protests against Communism. He then contrasts the destructive principles
and method of action of atheistic Communism vs. the clear doctrine
of the Catholic Church, in order to inculcate anew and with greater
insistence the means by which Christian civilization can be saved
from this satanic scourge.

STK# 6557
Mirari
Vos: On Religious Indifferentism.
In the early 1800s, the Church in France, infected by the Revolution
of 1789, turned to its charismatic philosopher and apologist, Abbe
Felicite-Robert de Lamennais, promoter of a movement to "catholicize
liberalism." He expounded an alien philosophy based on a new
theory of certitude claiming truth does not belong to individual reason,
but to the universal consent of mankind. According to him, certainty
of truth was not determined by evidence, but by the authority of mankind.
The true religion, he concluded, is that which can put forth on its
behalf the greatest number of witnesses.
His opinions on liberty of press, conscience, revolt, and democratization
of the Church, were receiving popularity. This caught the attention
of Pope Gregory XVI, who condemned them in Mirari Vos (15 August 1832).
De Lammenais refused to submit and renounced his priesthood and Catholicism.
He died unrepentant and unreconciled with the Church.
"From this poisoned source of indifferentism flows that false
and absurd, or rather extravagant, maxim that liberty of conscience
should be established and guaranteed to each man - a most contagious
error, ..." -Pope Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos.

STK# 6554
On True
Religious Unity
Perhaps the ecumenical dizziness spun from the first Parliament of
Religions (Chicago, 1893) and the horrific modern wars like the First
World War (and their wearying effect on society) were on the mind
of Pius XI when he wrote this encyclical (1928).
Times were hard enough all over and people were tired: who wanted
to fight about religion of all things? As a result, the cause of fostering
unity among men of all religions - among those calling themselves
Christians - was catching on fast and generating indifference, even
among Catholics, to the objective truths of the True Faith. This ecumenism
was being motivated by a false idea of "one flock" under
the guise of a falsely - understood charity.
Pius XI here denounces the dreamers, calls inconceivable a "federation
of Christians in which each member retains his own opinions ... in
matters of faith," and, proclaims that the only ecumenism is
to convert the world to Catholicism.

Satis Cognitum

Pope Leo XIII
STK# 8131
On The
Unity of the Church. "That they may be one" - "Ut unum
sint" has been the rallying cry of Churchmen since Vatican II,
and the explanation for the promotion of an ecumenical agenda that
places "unity" before everything. But what is the nature
of the unity for which the Lord prayed His heavenly Father on the
way to Gethsemane? Indeed, most Catholics cannot answer with precision
what exactly the Church is, the conditions for belonging to it, or
its necessity for salvation. If you want a clear and concise explanation
of these principles, Satis Cognitum is the place to begin. Written
when popes said what they meant and meant what they said, it is free
from the ambiguities which are so characteristic of late 20th - century
explanations of these issues. "Wherefore, in His divine wisdom,
He ordained in His Church Unity of Faith; a virtue which is the first
of those bonds which unite man to God, and whence we receive the name
of the faithful - 'one Lord, one faith, one baptism' " (Eph.
4:5). 48 pp. Softcover.

On the
Jubilee of the Immaculate Conception.
On the 50th anniversary of the solemn promulgation of the dogma of
the Immaculate Conception (1854-1904), Pope St. Pius X issued this
encyclical to encourage the whole Church to organize joyous celebrations,
and to grant a Jubilee Indulgence in honor of this event. The pope
ultimately hoped by doing this to gain that restoration of all things
in Christ which is the motto of his pontificate.
In this encyclical, he outlines the great riches and the wonderful
hidden implications behind the dogma of the Immaculate Conception:
Mary is the Reparatrix; Dispensatrix of all grace; our chief Mediatrix;
our supreme example of sanctity. She continues to labor in Heaven
in order to bring us to perfect charity of God and to eternal happiness.
The pope insists on our corresponding response in faith, hope and
charity - of keeping the commandments and fleeing from sin, of praying
for those who are fallen away. By proclaiming the dogma we combat
all the Modernist errors, proving what the Church attributes to this
august Virgin, that she has exterminated all heresies in the world.
