From then until his death, for a span of forty-five years, Merry del Val lived essentially in the Vatican, at the service of four popes (Leo XIII, Pius X, Benedict XV, and Pius XI). Secretary of the conclave that elected Pope St. Pius X, he was appointed by him, at just thirty-eight years old, secretary of state and cardinal. For eleven years, he stood by Pius X, through all the difficult trials of his pontificate, beginning with the battle against Modernism. Under Benedict XV, he was secretary of the Holy Office, a role he continued to hold under Pius XI.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the conclaves of 1914 and 1922, he himself came close to being elected pope. A veil of mystery still surrounds his death, which occurred in Rome on February 26, 1930. His beatification process was opened on February 26, 1953, by the will of Pius XII, and he was proclaimed Servant of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this sweeping life story, you will see how, through it all, Cardinal del Val remained a model of virtue, leading by example in obedience, fidelity, and devotion. The book describes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•How he became a monsignor even before being ordained a priest\u003cbr\u003e•His determined efforts to revive Catholicism in England\u003cbr\u003e•His rich spiritual life and his composing of the renowned Litany of Humility\u003cbr\u003e•His holiness, which led numerous souls to conversion, sometimes through the celebration of one Mass\u003cbr\u003e•How he escaped an ambush at the hands of the Freemasons\u003cbr\u003e•Theories on his possible assassination\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven in turbulent times, amid anticlerical violence, war, and personal attacks, Cardinal del Val remained the epitome of humility. Whether drafting papal documents, mediating tense religious and political situations, sending consequential encoded telegrams, or defending the teachings of the Church, he lived a life of asceticism and mysticism and steadfastly preserved the truth.",

Mullady offers a readable and rock-solidly reliable treatment of what is surely the most important — and debated — subject in contemporary Catholic theology. His approach to Church doctrine (ecclesiology) demonstrates the profound consistency and coherence of the Magisterium’s teaching as it draws from biblical and patristic sources and develops from the medieval to the modern period, culminating in Vatican II’s Dogmatic Constitution on the Church (Lumen Gentium). In the process, Fr. Mullady applies a ‘hermeneutic of continuity’ to show the deep convergence of Vatican I and Vatican II (no small feat!). Along the way, readers gain a renewed sense of the indispensable role of classical Thomism for doing Catholic theology — with precision, fidelity and flexibility.” — Dr. Scott Hahn\u003cbr\u003eFor decades, we have heard the phrase “the spirit of the council.” Here is the book that will elevate your understanding of the Church by helping you unpack what one of the central documents of the Second Vatican Council — Lumen Gentium — really taught and understand it through the lens of traditional Church teachings, history, and philosophy. \u003cbr\u003eAs Fr. Mullady explains the supernatural character of the Church and our universal call to holiness, you will discover the authentic character and purpose of the People of God and the unique vocations to which we are called. You will also learn about:\u003cbr\u003e• The trinitarian life of the Church and its role as mystery and sacrament \u003cbr\u003e• Ecumenism and the necessity of the Church for salvation \u003cbr\u003e• Sensus Fidelium and discernment of truth in matters of faith \u003cbr\u003e• Papal and episcopal infallibility and types of doctrine \u003cbr\u003e• Marriage, family, and the mission of the laity in the Church \u003cbr\u003e• The indispensability of the sacramental life for sanctification\u003cbr\u003eAs you learn about the role of the Church on earth, you will see how it is the channel through which we receive God’s grace to attain Heaven. By growing in understanding of the continuity of teaching, you will be empowered to give a more fervent witness to Christ and the life-giving hope and joy to which we are called.",

No matter his pursuit, he was always haunted by the reality that booking the part, winning the award, or catching the perfect wave (you name it) would never quite satisfy him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Aching for Greatness: Discover God’s Love in the Restless Search for More, Kalina shares how his restless search for more led him to the realization that God is the only one who can ever truly fulfill the longings in his heart. Kalina didn’t change everything about his life overnight, but he did commit to giving Jesus a real chance, going all in and no longer walking with one foot in and one foot out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by the early Christians after Pentecost, the men and women who “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers” (Acts 2:42), Kalina shares how these four spiritual practices became a model for developing intimacy with Jesus:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e.• Learning about faith\u003cbr\u003e• Finding healthy fellowship\u003cbr\u003e• Embracing the sacraments\u003cbr\u003e• Spending time in prayer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChances are, this restless search for more is something you can relate to, something you’ve experienced in your own life. When those empty feelings lead you to ask, “Why do I feel so alone? Why don’t I feel fulfilled?,” Kalina encourages you not to feel ashamed or defeated but to realize that acknowledging how you feel is the first step to a life filled with greater joy, connection, and peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, what’s your next step? Are you ready to find what you’ve been looking for?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAching for Greatness will inspire you to set out on the adventure that only a deep, personal knowledge of God can offer. With a two-thousand-year-old roadmap to follow and the conviction that nothing aside from an intimate relationship with God will bring lasting peace, you’re sure to discover God’s powerful love.",

"description":"We are living through the greatest catastrophe since the fall of the Roman Empire. Western civilization isn’t dying: it’s already dead. Christendom is no more. What we see around us now isn’t Christian. It’s not even a civilization. It’s a walking corpse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat’s the bad news. The good news is that the West can be reborn someday. We know this because it died once before. Who brought it back? The mystics, the martyrs, and the missionaries. Now they must save the West once again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this prescient work, Michael Warren Davis examines just how bad the situation is and how much worse it’s going to get. He weaves together examples from history and literature to illustrate how societies fell and how various saints helped them rise again. Throughout, he reflects on the transformative power and benefits of persecution and suffering to show how Christians can survive - and indeed flourish - in the new Dark Age that’s descending.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese penetrating pages will help you move from a “Culture War” mindset to one of answering the Great Commission. You will learn how to form intentional Christian communities to ward off spiritual isolation and come to understand what St. Augustine, the chief architect of Christendom’s first renaissance, taught about why God allows the City of Man to fall in the first place. Additionally, you will discover:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• The only weapon in your arsenal (can you guess?)\u003cbr\u003e• What role laughter played in the early Church’s victory\u003cbr\u003e• How to attain xenitia, the first stage of spiritual development\u003cbr\u003e• Methods to grow in union with Christ through meditative prayer\u003cbr\u003e• The fruits of street evangelization and your call to go into the vineyard\u003cbr\u003e• How drawing from Eastern Christianity can help renew our culture again\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbove all, you will find out how you can respond to the crisis of the early twenty-first century with the wisdom of the ages — to testify to your Faith, help restore beauty, and cultivate authentic love in the modern world. For, according to Davis, every Christian has a role to play. All are called to share their faith person-to-person to help rebuild the Church, and once again the tears of mystics, the sweat of missionaries, and the blood of martyrs will become the seed of the Church. Despite the darkness, by imitating their witness, you will find unshakable peace and joy in the face of what is to come.",

Through his thought, wit, and compassion, many thousands of people likely entered the Church, from all walks of life. Among them were jazz legend Ada “Bricktop” Smith, journalist Heywood Broun, Communist activist Louis Budenz, U.S. Congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce, spy Elizabeth Bentley, composer Fritz Kreisler, Communist Bella Dodd, and Hollywood starlet Virginia Mayo. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis in-depth work by historian Cheryl C. D. Hughes lets readers inhabit the postwar America where Bishop Fulton Sheen thrived, in order to reveal what made him such a magnetic figure in his own era. It peers into the complex lives of the celebrities and fallen stars who saw in the warm, brilliant bishop a sign of God’s grace, and it offers a study in the inner dynamics of conversion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSheen was far more than a speaker and a scholar. A priest and shepherd foremost, he firmly believed that the Church needed to be poor to serve the poor, personally donating all the money he ever earned—over $200 million—to mission services. He was also an active participant at the Second Vatican Council, where he befriended the young bishop of Kraków, Karol Wojtyla, who had learned English, at least partially, from listening to recordings of Sheen. Pope John Paul II would later embrace Archbishop Sheen and say, “You have written and spoken well of the Lord Jesus. You are a loyal son of the Church.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Sheen influenced countless conversions, he was always clear that it was the Holy Spirit, not the man, who makes the convert. By examining this bishop’s ministry in action, we can catch a glimpse of how God works in the human heart, and in a fallen world.",
