Hilaire Belloc stands as one of the most important Catholic writers in English of the twentieth century. Going toe-to-toe against purveyors of modernist, irreligious, scientistic, and secularist views of the worlds in the early part of the twentieth century, he brought his immense dedication and personal willpower to his unabashedly Catholic and intensely passionate work. Running through all his thought is a dedication to the Christianized society that developed in Europe throughout the Middle Ages and that, since the Reformation and especially the Enlightenment, was in swift and grotesque decline. In this collection, entitled Essays of a Catholic, the storied Catholic writer turns his powerful mind, wide-ranging erudition, robust common sense, and supreme confidence in the Catholic Faith to a host of topics, in such essays as:"The New Paganism,""Legend,""Usury,""The Schools,""The Two Cultures of the West,""The Catholic Church and the Modern State,"And much more!Belloc's work predicted and explains much of the chaos we now witness. Although he was unable to prevent the onslaught in his own time, his wisdom as to the present crisis of decadent Western civilization provides the balm to soothe our ills—or at least the diagnosis to properly understand the horror of what has been wrought in our formerly Christian society. This brilliant work is a tonic sorely needed by Catholics today.Hilaire Belloc was born in 1870 in France to a French father and an English mother. After his Father's death, his mother took him and his sister to England to grow up. After pursuing a degree at Oxford, Hilaire became a writer and served a stint in the French military necessary to retain citizenship. He fell deeply in love with an American woman named Elodie, and after six years of suffering-laden courtship, they were finally married. Belloc continued to write for a living, serving for a time also as one of the few Catholic members of the British parliament. He became a notorious debater and essayist, and was good friends with fellow English Catholic writer G. K. Chesterton. Throughout all his work, he proclaimed one particular idea, emblematized in one of his most famous quotes: "Europe is the Faith, and the Faith is Europe." To modern observers, Belloc as staunch defender of Christ and Christendom appears eerily prescient and convincingly truthful. Essays of a Catholic will show you why.

Western civilization has no more eloquent defender than Anthony Esolen, a man who has counted the cost—and paid it—of leading the way in that defense. Following on his compelling prior volume, Defending Marriage: Twelve Arguments for Sanity, Professor Esolen returns, this time in defense of boys and an experience of boyhood that is on the wane, if not extinguished in many quarters of the modern world—and to illuminate the threats our precious sons face from harridans, harpies, and all purveyors and promoters of political correctness and of the misguided and ultimately doomed—though not before it has done much mischief—project of blurring the distinctions between boys and girls.Drawing on his own, in many ways all-American boyhood, Esolen—at times wistfully, at times playfully, and at times prophetically (in the literal sense of employing the thunder of an Old Testament prophet)—details what a good boyhood once was and what it can be again. He does so in chapters inspiringly titled:<ul><li>The Arena to Enter</li><li>Brothers to Gather</li><li>Mountains to Climb</li><li>The Man to Follow</li><li>Work to Do</li><li>Songs to Sing</li><li>Enemies to Slay</li><li>Life to Give</li></ul>Anthony Esolen prescribes a return to sanity to an insane world. He may not be able to change the world, but enter into the world of boyhood with him, and he just might change you—and the lives of the boys you love.

Devotion to the Holy Angels, widely regarded as the most popular work of Rev. Henri-Marie Boudon, is a powerful call to rediscover the living reality of the angelic world. With clarity, simplicity, and spiritual depth, Boudon urges the faithful to cultivate a deep devotion not only to their guardian angels but also to all nine choirs of heaven. First translated into English in 1869, this work presents a theology that is both accessible and firmly grounded in the tradition of the Church. The angels are revealed not as distant symbols but as active participants in the spiritual life&mdash;protectors, guides, and defenders appointed by God. Boudon highlights the consequences of neglecting the supernatural order, showing how a disregard for the presence of the angels leaves souls vulnerable. This work stands as both a warning and an invitation: to take seriously the unseen battle for the soul and to confidently call upon the powerful assistance God has already provided.
<ul>
<li>Restore Supernatural Awareness:&nbsp;Learn how neglecting the angelic realm weakens reverence and leaves the soul vulnerable to the strategies of the enemy.</li>
<li>Master Spiritual Warfare:&nbsp;Gain a clear understanding of the unseen battle for the soul and the specific tactics used by the fallen angels.</li>
<li>Practical Invocation:&nbsp;Discover concrete, daily methods to call upon your Guardian Angel and the heavenly hosts for protection and guidance.</li>
<li>Traditional Foundation:&nbsp;Engage with a text praised for its "simplicity, unction, and power," which has filled a vital gap in Catholic spiritual literature for over a century.</li>
<li>Deepen Your Prayer Life: Move beyond basic petitions into a life of constant union with God through the intercession of the celestial hierarchy.</li>

Devotion to the Nine Choirs of Holy Angels: 12 Reasons for Veneration

The Life and Martyrdom of St. Peter and St. Paul presents one of the most compelling and least-known witnesses to the foundations of the Catholic Church. Attributed to St. Abdias of Babylon, a disciple of the Apostles and the first Patriarch of the Persian Church, this ancient account offers a vivid portrait of the missionary labors, confrontations, and martyrdoms of the Church&rsquo;s two greatest Apostles.
Translated with clarity and fidelity by Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB, this volume draws from early Christian sources long revered in tradition, filling in narrative gaps left by Sacred Scripture. Readers encounter Peter and Paul not as distant icons, but as flesh-and-blood men preaching across the Roman world, confronting pagan power, enduring persecution, and sealing their witness with blood. Rich in historical detail, theological depth, and dramatic force, this work invites modern Catholics to rediscover the courage, authority, and sacrificial love upon which the Church was built.
In this book, you will learn:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">The historical circumstances surrounding the martyrdoms of Sts. Peter and Paul</li>
<li aria-level="1">How early apostolic tradition complements and deepens the biblical narrative</li>
<li aria-level="1">The missionary zeal and pastoral authority exercised by the Apostles</li>
<li aria-level="1">Why martyrdom stands at the heart of the Church&rsquo;s foundation</li>
<li aria-level="1">How apostolic witness continues to shape Catholic faith and perseverance</li>
</ul>
This book is ideal for Catholics who want to deepen their understanding of the Church&rsquo;s apostolic foundations. It will especially benefit readers interested in early Church history, apostolic tradition beyond the biblical canon, and historically grounded accounts of martyrdom. Clergy, educators, theology students, and devotional readers who value continuity, authority, and sacrifice in Catholic life will find this work particularly compelling.

The world hates the Church that Jesus founded, just as He said it would (John 15:18). It reviles her doctrines, mocks her moral teachings, and invents lies about her history. In every age, but especially in our modern day, historians and political powers have distorted the facts about her past (or just made up novel falsehoods from scratch) to make the Church, and the civilization it fostered, seem corrupt, backward, or simply evil. In Seven Lies about Catholic History, Diane Moczar (author of Islam at the Gates) tackles the most infamous and prevalent historical myths about the Church—popular legends that you encounter everywhere from textbooks to T.V.—and reveals the real truth about them. She explains how they got started and why they're still around, and best of all, she gives you the facts and the arguments you need to set the record straight about:<ul><li>The Inquisition: how it was not a bloodthirsty institution but a merciful (and necessary) one;</li><li>Galileo's trial: why moderns invented a myth around it to make science appear incompatible with the Catholic faith (it's not);</li><li>The Reformation: why the 16th-century Church was not totally corrupt (as even some Catholics wrongly believe), as well as how the reformers made things worse for everybody;</li><li>And other lies that the world uses to attack and discredit the Faith &#160;</li></ul>Written in a brisk style that's fun and easy to read, Seven Lies about Catholic History provides the lessons that every Catholic needs in order to defend and explain not just apologize for the Church's rich and complex history.
