Britain has just marked the 50th anniversary of the horrible 1967 Abortion Act, which made abortion widely available. Abortion is promoted everywhere, is regarded as a “right,” and is, in practice, available on demand. There are now calls—from Britain’s senior medical establishment organizations—for it to be fully de-criminalized.
“Priests ought to preach more about abortion!” is a cry you sometimes hear. But, curiously, it’s actually the one subject on which they don’t really need to preach. There is a strong pro-life movement that operates chiefly through the Church. The pro-life network is well-funded, has full-time paid staff, and is omnipresent in Church life. There is pro-life material in every parish and pro-life displays at all major Catholic events. Mass mailings ensure regular funding. Pro-life speakers go into Catholic schools, address Catholic youth groups and Confirmation classes, run conferences, and are present at all the major events run by and for Catholic young people. When I spoke at a Catholic school recently, two pupils separately told me they assumed the topic would be abortion: “It’s always abortion. If it’s a special speaker for RE, it’s about abortion.” They weren’t complaining; they are pro-life and quite articulate on the subject. But they did want to know about some of the other aspects of their faith. When my session actually took place the group asked about miracles, saints, visions, and how to explain the Eucharist to non-Catholic friends. They were ready for deep discussions and needed access to sound doctrine. Later I was glad to be involved with a project to equip them with the own copies of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
In fact, that is part of the problem. To the wider public, abortion is now seen as a “Catholic issue.” In a rather sad way, it’s often the first—sometimes even the only—thing that people associate with the Catholic Church: not prayer, not worship of God, not the Eucharistic presence of Christ among us, not forgiveness of sins, not the glories of Heaven, not the holiness of saints, not intimacy with our divine Savior. If you ask people what Catholics believe you are quite likely to get, “Um…they’re against abortion.” They are less confident about the idea that the Church will provide answers to life’s deepest questions, or offer them union with God, forgiveness and absolution of sins, a challenge to make changes in their lives, a vision for eternity.
Catholics themselves often encourage this tendency. “I think priests should speak out more about abortion,” is a statement that gets nods of approval. But when I pondered it recently and replied thoughtfully, “But that’s the one thing that people do know the Church is against!” there was agreement. “Oh, I know…I didn’t really mean that. I just wish the priest would say something more about…oh, I don’t know…things like Mass and confession and why it’s important. That’s what my teenagers need.” The woman was right. Her reference to abortion was actually a plea for something else: for sound doctrinal teaching on a number of issues that would help her to live as a Catholic and pass on the Faith to her children. She wanted to hear more about God, the sacraments, daily prayer, the centrality of the Eucharist, sin, forgiveness, Heaven and Hell.
If we are to win the battle for hearts and minds, we can’t do it by just telling Catholics what they know already. The pro-life movement’s task is to reach out, beyond the safe space that is the Church, to the wide seas of public and community life. Meanwhile, the Church’s task is to preach the message of salvation and bring Christ to people through the sacraments. And that, in the longer term, will foster the kind of change among people that will mean that they will be open to the realization that abortion is a ghastly and evil thing, that the 1967 Abortion Act was a cruel piece of legislation, and that a civilized society protects its unborn children and their mothers and cherishes each new life.
Back in the 1970s, the pro-life movement was vast, and was not restricted to Catholics. Church of England bishops attended rallies and meetings organized by the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, the founders of which were mostly Anglican. I remember speaking to a 100,000-strong crowd in London’s Hyde Park, one of four young women chosen to represent different political and religious views who shared a common abhorrence of abortion. We spoke for our generation: to us the legalization of abortion was something imposed by older people who saw things through the prism of the 1950s and who wanted to promote a different view of sex under the general theme of “liberation.” We knew that public opinion in Britain was actually concerned about the idea of abortion-on-demand and we were right—every attempt to tighten up the law got widespread support in the 1970s, and was only blocked by parliamentary maneuvering.
But massive media pressure and the tragic collapse of the Church of England and other Christian groups have brought a new scene. Today being anti-abortion is seen as a “Catholic thing.” Anti-abortion speakers are standard in Catholic schools, anti-abortion literature is standard in Catholic churches, and fund-raising for the cause is a standard part of Catholic life, with appeals and events and mass-mailings. We can be proud that the Church stands firm. But to reach out beyond is the central task now.

How Christianity Saved Civilisation
Ancient Rome’s brutal culture exploited the weak and considered human life expendable. Women were used as property; unwanted children were left on the streets to die. Four centuries later, even ordinary men and women prospered in what had become a vigorous new Christian society, a society that served the vulnerable, exalted women, treasured virtue, and loved peace.
Faith had triumphed. Truth was proclaimed. And on this rock-solid foundation, Christian society flourished in the West for the next 1500 years.
Here you’ll learn about the seven specific areas where any paganism, ancient or modern, is particularly vulnerable. They provide a roadmap for modern Christians to reclaim for the Faith our own neo-pagan modern culture.
Facing an overwhelmingly dark and hostile culture, Rome’s early Christians took the steps necessary to transform it. Their struggles and the hard lessons they learned documented here afford us hope that, by imitating their example, we may do the same for our culture today.

Christus Vincit
Christ’s Triumph Over the Darkness of the Age
Bishop Athanasius Schneider offers a candid, incisive examination of controversies raging in the Church and the most pressing issues of our times, providing clarity and hope for beleaguered Catholics. He addresses such topics as widespread doctrinal confusion, the limits of papal authority, the documents of Vatican II, the Society of St. Pius X, anti-Christian ideologies and political threats, the third secret of Fatima, the traditional Roman rite, and the Amazon Synod, among many others. Bishop Schneider says things that others won’t, fearlessly following St. Paul’s advice: “Preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching” (2 Tim 4:2). His insights into the challenges facing Christ’s flock today are essential reading for those who are, or wish to be, alert to the signs of the times. Reminiscent of The Ratzinger Report of 1985, Christus Vincit will be a key point of reference for years to come.

The Miracle was not reserved solely for the faithful – it was “…so that all might believe.” What did the Church say about it? What effect did it have on those who saw it? What effect did it have on the nation where it happened? What effect did it have on our future? The answers are all in this improtant book, which explores the Miracle at Fatima and how this event impacts our lives today.

The Hidden Power of Kindness
Kindness counts. If you have trouble acting with the consistent kindness Our Lord expects, your relationships with God and those you love may be suffering.
Probably you just can’t find the time and can’t ever seem to develop the patience that you need in order to be consistently kind amid the irritations that afflict you daily. That’s why this book is such a godsend. There’s nothing complicated or magical about learning to be kinder; it just takes greater attention to the things that you do and how you do them. The Hidden Power of Kindness shows you how to become more aware of even your most offhand daily actions. You’ll find simple, step-by-step, and spiritually crucial directions for how to overcome the habitual unkindness that creeps undetected into the behaviour of even the most careful souls.
If you want to make progress in the spiritual life, you can’t afford to miss the bracing insights in this handbook for souls who yearn to be kinder.

The Hidden Power of Kindness
Kindness counts. If you have trouble acting with the consistent kindness Our Lord expects, your relationships with God and those you love may be suffering.
Probably you just can’t find the time and can’t ever seem to develop the patience that you need in order to be consistently kind amid the irritations that afflict you daily. That’s why this book is such a godsend. There’s nothing complicated or magical about learning to be kinder; it just takes greater attention to the things that you do and how you do them. The Hidden Power of Kindness shows you how to become more aware of even your most offhand daily actions. You’ll find simple, step-by-step, and spiritually crucial directions for how to overcome the habitual unkindness that creeps undetected into the behaviour of even the most careful souls.
If you want to make progress in the spiritual life, you can’t afford to miss the bracing insights in this handbook for souls who yearn to be kinder.

An Exorcist Explains How to Heal the Possessed
Leaning heavily on Scripture and the teachings of the Church, as well as on his own extensive experiences as an exorcist, Fr Paolo Carlin here unveils Satan’s plan of attack while giving you the telltale signs that the Evil One is at work in your life or in the life of others. You’ll learn the special conditions that facilitate the work of the devil – particularly ones that appeal to the youngest and most defenceless among us.
Armed with knowledge of the antics of Satan, Fr. Carlin also enumerates the many spiritual weapons that Our Lord has placed at our disposal. Best of all, you’ll learn to employ each one effectively to keep the devil and his army of fallen angels at bay.
Finally, Father will show you how to distinguish between mental illnesses and diabolical attacks, as well as how to determine when you must turn away from amateur efforts and urgently seek the expert help of an official exorcist.

The Radiance of Her Face
These meditations on the Immaculate Conception will teach you to look at and love Our Lady as God sees and loves her. Alive to the role of material beauty in strengthening our perception of the invisible, Dom Perrin uses the visual language of the “Triptych” to assist us in our understanding of Mary’s role in the divine plan. Those who already rejoice in fervent devotion to Mary will find their love for her here nourished, stirred, refreshed, confirmed, given new impetus. For those who have lacked the confidence to turn to Mary, who feel they do not really understand how we can pray to her, or relate to her, these pages may prove truly liberating, inviting entry into a prayer life that is deeper, more confident, and more effective. A contemplative gaze at Mary Immaculate has the power to change us, to convert us, to soften our hard hearts, to open us up to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Here then is a book to be savoured, to be read slowly and repeatedly, to be passed on to others. May it be a blessing for all who encounter it.

A Brief Life of Christ
Fulton J. Sheen turned his voice and pen to many subjects during the course of a long and remarkable apostolate. But nothing came closer to the core of his message than bringing the life and saving words of Jesus to the problems of modern life and the modern world. In A Brief Life of Christ, Sheen employs the twin pillars of faith and reason to draw out the meaning of the life of Jesus for our times. He pointedly shows how Christ issues His challenge alike to nations, peoples, and individual souls. The final chapters on Christ’s public life, and Passion, Death, and Resurrection contain tremendous insights and provide material for a lifetime of reflection.

A Garden for Our Lady
Reviving the Ancient Tradition of Mary Gardens
St Benedict was the first recorded saint to create a garden at his monastery, as a place for prayer and contemplation. His was a rose garden or ‘rosary’. It was St Fiacre in 670, however, who became the first to plant a garden in honour of Our Lady, using those flowers which bore her name. This idea quickly spread with many ‘Mary Gardens’ being created to honour Mary. Here is an exquisitely illustrated guide to creating a Mary Garden in the home, parish, school, with an extensive guide to traditional plant names dedicated to Our Lady, their legends, use in art and in prayer and meditation.

Because of Our Fathers
Twenty-Three Catholics Tell How Their Fathers Led Them to Christ
A father—the head of the household, as Saint Paul says—has a crucial role and responsibility in his family, not only materially, but spiritually. This is no outdated biblical cliché, but a biological, sociological, and metaphysical reality that we too often fail to recognize. The example of a father can leave an indelible imprint on the character of his children. In this book, twenty-three Catholics—including Patrick Madrid, Abby Johnson, Bishop Joseph Strickland, Father Paul Scalia, Jesse Romero, Anthony Esolen, Father Rocky, Christopher Check, and Father Gerald Murray—give portraits of their own fathers as conduits and models of Christian love. Ranging from the heroic to the ordinary, these powerful testimonies will inspire men to consider more deeply the amazing privilege that God has given them to become, despite their imperfection, a living image of our Father in Heaven.

Douay-Rheims Bible
The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate Bible, a version universally used in the Church for over 1500 years, itself meticulously translated from the original Hebrew and Greek by St. Jerome (A.D. 340-420). Since it was translated quite literally and with great reverence for each individual word from the Vulgate, which in turn reflects the structure of the original languages very clearly, the Douay-Rheims Bible can give great insight into the minds of the sacred authors. For over 300 years, the Douay Rheims Bible was the only Catholic English translation of Scripture used. It continues to be used officially in Catholic churches today.

Who Am I To Judge?
Responding to Relativism with Logic and Love
“Don’t be so judgemental!” “Why are Christians so intolerant?” “Why can’t we just coexist?” In an age in which preference has replaced morality, many people find it difficult to speak the truth, afraid of the reactions they will receive if they say something is right or wrong. Using engaging stories and personal experience, Edward Sri helps us understand the classical view of morality and equips us to engage relativism, appealing to both the head and the heart. Learn how Catholic morality is all about love, and why making a judgement is not judging a person’s soul.

Credo
The Catholic Faith Explained
For anyone looking for a convenient and easy-to-use explanation of the Catholic Faith, Credo offers a succinct and reliable introduction into the fullness of the Faith. Acting as a pocket catechism Credo draws on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, presenting Church teaching in the same fourfold way: Creed, Sacraments, Morals and Prayer. From the authors of the Evangelium course, Credo can be used either as a tool of evangelisation for those not familiar with the Faith, for RCIA, or as a refresher for Catholics wanting to remind themselves of what they believe. Accompanied by beautiful traditional art, Credo aims to convey a rich experience of the Catholic Faith in a brief, concise manner.

Credo
The Catholic Faith Explained
For anyone looking for a convenient and easy-to-use explanation of the Catholic Faith, Credo offers a succinct and reliable introduction into the fullness of the Faith. Acting as a pocket catechism Credo draws on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, presenting Church teaching in the same fourfold way: Creed, Sacraments, Morals and Prayer. From the authors of the Evangelium course, Credo can be used either as a tool of evangelisation for those not familiar with the Faith, for RCIA, or as a refresher for Catholics wanting to remind themselves of what they believe. Accompanied by beautiful traditional art, Credo aims to convey a rich experience of the Catholic Faith in a brief, concise manner.

From the Depths of Our Hearts
In this book, Pope Emeritus Benedict and Cardinal Robert Sarah give their brother priests and the whole Church a message of hope. They honestly address the spiritual challenges faced by priests today, including struggles of celibacy. They point to deeper conversion to Jesus Christ as the key to faithful and fruitful priestly ministry and church reform.
From the Depths of Our Hearts is an unprecedented work by the Pope Emeritus and a Cardinal serving in the Vatican. They present priestly celibacy as more than “a mere precept of ecclesiastical law”. They insist that renewal of the Church is bound to a renewed understanding of priestly vocation as sharing in Jesus’ priestly identity as Bridegroom of the Church.
