We live in apocalyptic times: secularization, persecution, and atheism abound. In the history of the Church, the faithful relied on councils to unify and help them weather life’s fierce trials. But what recourse do we have when the synods themselves begin sparking confusion and discord?

Cardinal Joseph Zen of Hong Kong was formed during the “wind of Pentecost” surrounding the Second Vatican Council and taught theology and philosophy in seminaries for more than fifty years. In these pages, collected from His Eminence’s homilies, pastoral letters, and addresses, Cardinal Zen breaks open the Gospels and Sacred Tradition to help you remain steadfast in the true Faith and enliven your personal relationship with our Lord.

These wise teachings will safeguard you and provide the spiritual medicine and “rich nutrition” need for fruitful daily living. Cardinal Zen reveals how to transmit the Faith with vitality and love to every generation — even from your own home. Through his insights, drawn from extraordinary real-life experience, you will also glean.

If there is to be real renewal in Christian life, a culture steeped in the blood of the Lamb, saints must rise up to seed it. Only the witness of sanctity can save us now. More than ever, we need heroic men of God like St. Ignatius of Antioch, bishop and martyr of the early Church, whose life and letters Dr. Regis Martin illuminates in these stirring pages.

No other writer of the Apostolic Age has expressed with such passion, such blazing intensity, an ardent thirst for God as St. Ignatius, traveling in chains across Asia Minor toward the Colosseum. In his fervor, St. Ignatius wrote, “I am God’s wheat, and I am being ground by the teeth of wild beats to make a pure loaf for Christ.” He urgently dispatched poignant letters to the faithful along the way from Antioch to Rome, a journey marked by travail but ending in triumph.

Flee from Heresy
A Catholic Guide to Ancient and Modern Errors
by Bishop Athanasius Schneider

ISBN or UPC
979-8-88911-318-8

$24.95 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION

Society is lost and confused about God, morality, and eternity. Catholics face persecution, from outside and inside the Church, for living their Faith. Priests speak out against errors and corruption in their own hierarchy, only to be marginalized and punished by their superiors. The few bishops who remain faithful to the changeless teaching of Christ are rebuked and “canceled,” even by the pope himself, and sent into exile. Catholics longing for reverent worship are forced out of their parishes and into makeshift venues.

This is a description of the Catholic Church in the fourth century.

With similar patterns recurring in our time, one Catholic bishop is calling out to souls:

“Know the errors and embrace the truth!”

In Flee from Heresy, Bishop Athanasius Schneider — raised among persecuted Catholics in the Soviet Union — offers a systematic treatment of more than 130 doctrinal errors, from ancient times down to our own day, along with English translations of the Church’s major anti-heresy documents of the past two centuries.

One Lord, One Faith, One Church
An Inconvenient Truth
by Jesse Romero, Paul Zucarelli

$19.95 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION

It’s no secret that there is an abundance of so-called Christian sects populating a wide range of churches, with different worship services and teachings regarding the salvation of your soul. But how can one intelligently make sense of this if there is one God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever?

This book will take you on a fact-based journey from the earliest days of Christianity to now. Wherever your personal faith and belief system currently reside, this book will test that faith and challenge you to believe in the real Jesus, the Jesus of the Gospels, and embrace the fullness of the truth found in the one Church that He established.

In these incisive pages, Jesse Romero and Paul Zucarelli present hard evidence and challenge you to disprove the facts. They present proof as to why Jesus Christ established the Church and what we are supposed to do while we await the inevitable — the death of our bodies.

They will help you answer questions such as:

What is a “church,” and does man define the term differently from how God defines it?
Did God intend to create an unlimited number of churches with differing beliefs and practices?
If Jesus Himself created the Church, by what authority does man invent his own churches? By what process did so many and varying churches develop?

Getting Your Child Out of the Gender Cult

$21.95 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION

In this actionable analysis of one of the most damaging movements of the modern age, renowned author Maria Keffler makes a compelling case that what lies at the core of the transgender phenomenon is a crisis of identity, and that only a loving but firm reality check can staunch the hysteria.

Keffler makes unassailable arguments: Maleness and femaleness are immutable biological facts. Masculinity and femininity are personality constructs, conditioned by societal norms.

But “gender,” the term favored by activists, has no solid definition. The language introduced by gender ideology is entirely subjective, which allows emotions to redefine reality. The very premise of the ideology is flawed and requires mental gymnastics of its adherents.

Keffler outlines the disturbing parallels between cults and gender ideology: recruitment tactics that prey upon insecurities, indoctrination in nonsensical beliefs that must never be questioned, requirements to shun nonbelievers, and in-group newspeak which cultivates a sense of belonging.

She exposes the cult of gender ideology with journalistic detail, digging into aspects the mainstream media chooses to ignore. She investigates:

The origins of modern gender ideology in the 1960s
How the obsession to “affirm” gender identity leads to medical negligence in overlooking mental health issues
The role of bullying and peer pressure in the gender cult
The rapidly growing community of detransitioners and their insightful firsthand testimonies

How Scripture was written and why the Bible is infallible and reliable
What is meant by “divine inspiration”
Why revelation is dynamic and why authentic scriptural interpretation cannot contradict doctrine
How our approach to reading the Old Testament differs from that of reading the New
The spiritual senses of Scripture and how the Old Testament is fulfilled in Christ

Handbook of Moral Theology
by Dominic Prümmer

978-1-64413-610-2

$24.95 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION

First published in 1921, Fr. Prummer's Handbook of Moral Theology was immediately regarded as an international classic. The author's clarity of vision, precision of expression, and humble fidelity to the traditional Catholic moral framework during a period of social upheaval and increasing doctrinal deviation made his manual the standard reference text for generations of clergy, seminarians, and laity. For those seeking answers to moral questions, the Catholic advice was often "Look it up in Prummer!"

At long last, this centenary edition restores the superb English translation of 1956 in a fresh new typesetting, making Fr. Prummer's original text much easier to navigate and more pleasant to read. The many citation errors that plagued earlier editions have been painstakingly corrected, and scores of additional citations have been added from Aquinas's Summa Theologiae, Denzinger's Enchiridion, and the Roman Catechism - three of the author's favorite sources. The topical index has likewise been expanded and now includes technical moral terms of more recent use (such as "double effect") to allow for more rapid contemporary reference.

Heresies, schisms, culture of death, persecutions, excommunications … While reflective of headlines from today, these difficulties roiled Christians of the early Church as well. In fact, the earliest Church manual, the Didache,brought clarity to a range of moral issues that our culture continues to grapple with to this day.

Here is one of the most lucid and comprehensive overviews of the Patristic period ever written. With simplicity and clarity, Dr. James Papandrea introduces you to all the major theologians, philosophers, and martyrs of the early Christian church and explains the theological principles that guided the Church from the New Testament era through the apologists, and, ultimately, to the development of the major doctrines. Best of all, he uniquely situates the teachings of the early Church Fathers against the social and cultural context of the Roman Empire and its relationship to the Church.

Dr. Papandrea will introduce you to the gnostics and their influence on the early Church, as well as explain how Church mothers, such as Macrina the Younger, laid a foundation for the monastic life to come. You’ll learn how our understanding of the sacraments developed and when devotion to Our Lady and the saints emerged. You’ll also explore how the New Testament canon was formed as well as the criteria used to interpret early Christian writings.

A must-have resource, Reading the Church Fathers offers helpful charts, recommended texts, and summaries of important theological concepts and doctrines. It also reveals:

How the early Church refuted heresies

How catechesis was taught and shared

The order of the liturgy in early Christianity

The marks of the early Church and the role of tradition

How apostolic succession was defined

What is meant by the development of doctrine

Grace Explained
How to Receive - and Retain - God's Most Potent Gift
by Brian Thomas Becket Mullady, O.P.

$14.95 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION

Grace is one of the most enigmatic concepts of our Faith. Yet it is uniquely and wonderfully woven into all that we do and believe as Catholics. In these pages, Fr. Brian Mullady provides one of the clearest and most luminous explanations of grace ever written, employing the same “everyday Catholic” language that has made him so popular as an EWTN guest and retreat master.

God created Adam and Even to walk and talk in intimacy with Him in the garden. Our highest calling is to return to that state of perfect holiness, which we can achieve only by relying on God's sanctifying grace.

Perfect holiness is not only possible but essential if we wish to achieve eternal life. That's why Fr. Mullady has written this accessible and practical guide — to help you understand how grace is working in your life presently and to teach you how to seize all the unclaimed graces God is offering you throughout each day.

You'll learn how the action of the Holy Spirit comes from within the very character of your being and how to improve your openness to each of the three types of grace. You'll explore the time-tested methods for practicing the three counsels of perfection and how to employ remedies against the three great weaknesses of our nature.

You'll also learn:

How grace perfects — and does not destroy nature

Precisely what you must do to make yourself more open to grace

The three types of grace and how to magnify them

Why God uses mediators of grace even though He is the source of grace

Why God expanded the Israelites' knowledge of right and wrong (and thus their culpability) but did not communicate grace to them

Two theological errors that most people of good will mistakenly believe

The three states of nature on which even the workings of God depend

How grace operates in our daily lives to bring us closer to each person of the Trinity

Here you’ll come to understand how the Commandments are not just ten individual rules; they are an entire plan of life that draws you ever more into God and brings you enduring peace with others—and with yourself.

With the help of the wise Fr. Mullady, you’ll soon come to see how the Commandments not only distill the teachings of Christ in the Beatitudes but are themselves fulfilled when you live in accordance with those Beatitudes.

You’re sure to close the pages of this book with renewed gratitude for the incredible divine gift of the Commandments and with a greater resolve to believe in them, to meditate on them, and to strive ever to live in accordance with them.

$18.95 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION

Many of us fail to recognize that obtaining the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential to getting to heaven. We often block their reception through our own faults. We fail to see how they are passed on or strengthened in the sacraments. And, sadly, we forget to petition God in prayer to bestow these gifts upon us.

In these pages, Dr. Kevin Vost — best-selling author of The One-Minute Aquinas — provides us with a substantive yet readable introduction to the seven gifts and how we can humbly submit our wills to the stirrings of the Holy Spirit.

As Dr. Vost explains, these God-given gifts help us to conform our lives to His image, intellect and will. They prevent us from being drawn into frustration – and possibly self-destruction – by following our own sensual appetites. Indeed, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are the only path to being fully happy on earth and in the life to come.

With St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Bonaventure as his guides, Dr. Vost introduces you to the special charism of the Holy Spirit before explaining each gift one by one. You'll discover the special meaning behind each of the natural and theological virtues, and you'll learn the indispensible link between the seven gifts and the Beatitudes. You'll also learn:

How the seven gifts differ from the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
The three ways to perfect fear of the Lord.
The one sacrament that helps you fortify fortitude – it's not the one you think.
How the gift of knowledge differs from the gift of understanding.
The seven steps to unwrapping – and sharing – each of the Holy Spirit's gifts.
The greatest of the seven gifts – and why you must possess it to attain heaven.
Are the seven gifts habits we must develop, or does the Holy Spirit instill the habits in us?
Don't let another year go by without unwrapping and enjoying the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Read this book, and then accept the seven gifts the Holy Spirit so desperately wants to give you.

BY KEVIN VOST

The seven deadly sins are generals leading a vast and deadly army. The soldiers are a variety of sins and misdeeds, and the capital sins are the officers who sent them on their nefarious tasks.

With the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas as his guide, best-selling author Kevin Vost tackles the deadly sins one-by-one, showing how they take root in our soul and give birth to offspring - other sinful thoughts and deeds that help it reach its sinful goals.

You'll learn how they attacks us, and how they become ingrained habits that prevent virtue from raising us to heaven. Indeed, these sins hold us down to earth - and possibly, ultimately, even much lower.

The deadly sins can be conquered, and in these pages you'll learn the methods employed by saints to vanquish vicious habits and replace them with virtuous ones.

Follow the advice in this book, and you'll soon strike at the head of sin and walk more positively in the light and love of Christ.

You'll also learn:

Which sin can truly be called the deadliest in the world.
Why there are only seven deadly sins.
What takes place within our souls when we grapple with sin.
The relationship between vices and sins - and how to sever their bonds.
How each and every deadly sin is outnumbered by several opposite virtues.
Six deadly dominoes: Do you know the sins that almost always cause us to commit additional sins?
How "the mother of the virtues" dethrones "the queen of the vices."
Seven sacramental and saint-sanctioned strategies to call forth God's graces to grapple with each deadly sin.

Essays of a Catholic

$23.50 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION

With a brand new foreword written by the author of Old Thunder: A Life of Hilaire Belloc, Joseph Pearce, The Cenacle Press is pleased to present this republication of the essays of the renowned author, Hilaire Belloc.

While many Catholics the world over have heard of the great Catholic literary lights of the last century, the great mythical creature of the "Chesterbelloc" stands out among the rest for wit, wisdom, and an unwearied defense of the Catholic Faith. However, while Chesterton has remained widely read and well-known, much less known is his dear friend, Hilaire Belloc. While Belloc was known in the early part of his life as a polemicist and, the present volume, published later in his writing career, shows Belloc at his finest as an essayist and apologist for the Catholic Faith.

Despite being written in the 1930s, the essays contained in this volume are no less pertinent today than they were when they were written. A brief glance at the table of contents is enough to see how Belloc's genius is on full display as he tackles issues from a vast array of subjects. His words are indeed a salutary antidote to the unreality that invades our lives. In this volume you can read about his thoughts on:

The New Paganism
Usury
Science as the Enemy of Truth
The Revival of Latin
The Catholic Church and the Modern State
And many more topics...
As a part of The Cenacle Press' Kells Collection, the volume is printed as a cloth back with sewn binding, and silk screen and gold foil stamping finish on the cover. It is a volume that all true book lovers will want to have in their library!
