Audiobook: The Cristeros and the Martyrs of the Mexican Revolution

Prepare yourself for one of the greatest Catholic war stories of all time.

The average American's understanding of Mexican history is incomplete. American Catholics, however, should know Mexican history, because unlike our own history, much of Mexican history is Catholic history. In the early part of the 20th Century, Masonic, Marxist revolutionaries, who were nothing less than the enemies of Jesus Christ, seized control of the government of Mexico and attempted to destroy the Church. They very nearly succeeded. In the midst of the terror, courageous priests clandestinely made their way through the countryside dispensing the sacraments and ministering to the Mexican faithful. Many received the crown of martyrdom; the most famous is Blessed Miguel Pro. As these holy priests fulfilled the duties of their divine vocations, an army of laymen rose up and challenged the godless government. They were the Cristeros. Their battle cry was Viva Cristo Rey! Their tale is one of the great Catholic war stories of all time.

Audiobook: Henry VIII and the Anglican Schism

"THE DECADENT KING WHO DIVIDED THE CHURCH."

What brought Saint Thomas More to the scaffold?
What tore England from Catholic Europe?

A woman. Lady Anne Boleyn. Yet even today, Anglican apologists for Henry's cruel treatment of his wife, Catherine of Aragon, argue that the king's motives, while perhaps not admirable, were merely political: the stability of the Tudor line and of the whole realm demanded a male heir. This lecture, as told by Christopher Check, exposes that dishonest defense, lays bare Henry's true motives in divorcing Catherine, identifies the sinister operators behind the scenes, unwinds the convoluted legal arguments Henry attempted to justify his actions, and names the painful and widespread effects of the divorce we feel yet today. Henry VII's divorce is among mankind's most consequential tragedies.

Audio Lecture: The War of the Vendee

NEW AUDIO LECTURE!
FOR GOD AND KING

The Catholic Uprising in the Vendee

The Revolution in France is the defining event of modern times. It is when the impossible dreams of the Enlightenment became the horrifying nightmare of the Terror. The Revolution was a deliberate war against tradition, against the crown, against marriage and the family, and most of all, against Jesus Christ and His Holy Church.
In the west of France, however, the fiercely devout Catholic peasants, nobles, and priests of the Vendee refused to obey the edicts of the Revolution. Instead they formed a courageous army of farmers and craftsmen. Armed at first with little more than clubs, pitchforks, and hunting rifles, they rose up in defense of the Cross and Crown and faced down the Revolutionary Army of France. Led by their nobles, telling their rosaries on the march, and wearing Sacred Heart badges on their chests, the heroic men of the Catholic Army of the Vendee drove the Rovolutionary Army of France from their soil and, as Nepoleon would later admit, might well have marched on Paris to restore the Church and the Monarchy.

Audio Lecture: St. Joan of Arc

Introducing our brand new audio lecture from renowned Catholic speaker, Mr. Christohper Check!

THE INSPIRED GENERALSHIP OF THE PEASANT GIRL OF LORRAINE

England and France had long been fighting over the domination of much of the French countryside by the time that St. Joan of Arc was born to a devout peasant family in the northeastern part of France. Despite her humble beginnings, this young girl was destined to change the course of history, and ultimately act to prevent France from falling into Henry VIII's schism less than 100 years after her death.

This magnificent recording by Mr. Check will bring to life this fascinating, but often complex story of the Hundred Years War, the checkered political map of France, the visions and sanctity of St. Joan, and most importantly, a deep understanding of the effect of Providence upon the lives of men. This is one story you will not want to miss!

Audio Lecture: The Inquisition

In the annals of history, perhaps no story sets itself so violently against the Catholic Church, and Catholic Spain as the black legend of the Inquisition. From claims of the most grotesque tortures, secretive and unjust legal proceedings, and tens of thousands of brutal executions, the Inquisition in the modern world is almost a byword for tyranny.

And yet, the truth of the matter is quite different. In this lecture, Mr. Christopher Check, examines the origins of the Roman, and later Spanish Inquisition, its purposes and procedures, and some of the most persistent myths surrounding it. Point-by-point, he shows that heresy was not merely a religious oddity, or a difference of opinion, but a dangerous and violent thing that tore asunder the political and cultural life of a Christian kingdom.

This talk presents the Inquisition's true foundation in the Sacred Scriptures, its use of the best of Roman jurisprudence and the relatively benign and merciful practices of the Inquisition's courts. While denying none of the abused and periodic cruelty employed by Spain's inquisitors, the Inquisition saved untold souls, and in Spain, at least, preserved the social fabric of the country, far after most of Europe's countries were riddled with the Protestant heresy.

Audio Lecture: The Knights Templar

To believe Dan Brown and Ron Howard, the Knights of the Temple of Jerusalem guarded some secret and shocking knowledge the cardinals of the Catholic Church have long conspired to conceal. The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons are utter fabrication, to say nothing of blasphemy. The true story of this first Military Religious Order, born in the heroic age of the Crusades and suppressed by treachery and greed, is far more compelling.The Crusades gave birth to something new in both Church and military history, the soldier monks of the Military Religious Orders. The first of these orders was the Poor Fellow Soldiers of Jesus Christ also known as the Knights of the Temple of Jerusalem or, simply, the Templars. This lecture reviews the arguments for, and the objections to, this new hybrid, considers Saint Bernard of Clairvaux's eloquent and powerful justification for the Templars, explains their life in garrison and in the field, reviews their influence in the politics of Outremer, and looks at the tragic tale of their suppression at the hands of Pope Clement V and Philip IV of France.
