<p>Everywhere today, many are asking if there is a way out of this political and ecclesiastical cesspool into which the whole world is slowly sinking.  That is a fair question.The answer, we believe, lies in the understanding of what Juan Donoso Cortés brought forth in our 4th reprint of his famous work, Essay on Catholicism, Liberalism, and Socialism.  In this book, he brings out the cause of the underlying sickness of modern civilization against which he reacted with horror.  This sickness is understandable when seen as the result of the rupturing of the fundamental law of unity of the Church. When the heresies and errors of the world deny revelation and the supreme authority of God in the world, then we have what we have today: chaos in all segments of society and in every field, that is, in economics, medicine, education, etc.Tyranny,  resulting ultimately from socialism, is the sad result of not following that Divine plan and order that had been elaborated and followed over the centuries by the Church. Indeed, this book is a book for our time, showing us where the answer is to our present world wide crisis.Many have hailed Donoso Cortés as a prophet. Perhaps he was because it seems that we are living out today what he foresaw back in 1851, when the book first appeared in Spanish.We have reprinted the original 1862 English edition with a new introduction by the late Dr. Wilhelmsen.  This durable hardback sewn edition with an attractive dust jacket should provide for several readings, for indeed one should read and reread it to reflect upon the ideas contained therein.</p>

<p>Mention is often made of Leo XIII and a famous vision that he saw - that of an attack being made or planned by the devil against the Church. The facts about this vision, however, have been unclear for many decades, for there are different versions of what occurred, and of what was or was not said in that vision. What is fact and what is fiction about this event in modern papal history? To provide clarity about Pope Leo's vision, Kevin J. Symonds began a historical investigation to arrive at the facts, and to distinguish between rumor or hearsay and the authentic history of the event, as well as to explain its meaning for our time in the light of the teaching of the Church, and in particular of the contemporary Popes. Related to this vision is the well known Prayer to St. Michael and a special prayer of Exorcism. What became known as the Leonine Prayers began to be recited after Masses throughout the world, taking their name from Leo XIII, but their origin came from his predecessor, Blessed Pius IX. Moving into the twentieth century, the author then examines the relationship between Pope Leo's vision and Fatima, and the decision of Pius XI, after the Vatican's reconciliation with the Italian government, to continue the Leonine Prayers while adding the conversion of Russia as their intention. Still, the author's research does not end there, because the events of the second half of the twentieth century have raised even more questions regarding the assaults of the devil, the importance of the message of Fatima, and the tragedy of what Pope Paul VI called the "smoke of Satan" entering the Church. The account goes all the way to the most recent Popes, who were instrumental in the dedication of a new statue of St. Michael inside the Vatican. Since the 1st edtion sold out in 2017, Preserving Christian Publications has brought forth this second edition to light with addiional material. New date of publication 2018, 242p IL</p>
