Do you know how the Catholic Church built Western Civilization?
"Ask a college student to describe the Catholic Church and his answer might be: "corruption." But it should be "civilization." No institution has done more to shape Western civilization than the Church. This book explains why modern science was born in the Church, how the Church invented the university, the truth about the Galileo affair and more." -HOW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BUILT WESTERN CIVILIZATION by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

Good luck fellow Catholic. Most Protestants won't even accept that their church broke off ours. Or that their Bible came after and from ours.
Peace Be With You,

How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization $29.95 In the wake of Pope John Paul II's death, many are asking: What is the future of the Catholic Church? Given its recent scandals, students of theology might discount its influence on Western civilization and simply cast it off as a corrupt religion. That would be a big mistake; as New York Times bestselling author Thomas Woods chronicles in his book, the Church has had a pivotal role in shaping Western civilization for the last two thousand years. '' How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization uncovers the lost truth of the Church's contributions to our history, including: ' ' How the father of atomic theory, the father of aviation, and the father of Egyptology were all Catholic priests ' How Catholic priests developed the idea of free-market economics five hundred years before Adam Smith ' How the Catholic Church was the great defender of the sanctity of human life and the individual against the state ' How the Church invented charitable work"and the charitable spirit"as we know it in the Western world ' How the Church bestowed the most unique gift to the World"what we now know as the university ' 'In this magnificent volume, students and faithful alike will come to comprehend the Catholic Church's monumental impact on society and western civilization as a whole.'' '???Prof. Woods has put the Catholic Church squarely back where it should be: at the center of the development of the values, ideas, science, laws, and institutions which constitute what we call Western civilization.??? ' "Dr. Paul Legutko , Stanford University |

The Catholic Church and the Bible $11.95 Are Catholics biblical illiterates? So goes the frequent question, proving that myths die hard. But Catholics ought to be able to answer the charge made by many non-Catholics in this regard. This book is a response to Fundamentalist critics and an explanation of the Catholic biblical tradition. The Catholic Church and the Bible is a significant scriptural study guide, published from a Catholic perspective and particularly keyed to the new Catechism of the Catholic Church. The well-planned, straight-forward text is clearly outlined to make information easy to find and understand. Main topics include: - The Catholic understanding of the Bible - God's Word and its purpose in the Church - A biblical theology of the Mass, the place of the Bible in the Sacred Liturgy - A question-and-answer section that deals with pertinent and popular inquiries made by Catholics and non-Catholics alike This work should be heartily welcomed by both clergy and laity, for Father Stravinskas sheds new light on Catholic Bible study by writing with candor, clarity and scriptural backing. This is ideal for high schools and RCIA programs. "An excellent tool for the Catholic apologist. The reader has everything in one place: pithy answers plus biblical and magisterial citations. Fr. Stravinskas is the best priest-apologist in the country." "Karl Keating, Author, Catholicism and Fundamentalism Fr. Peter M.J. Stravinskas is the well-known editor of the The Catholic Answer magazine, a contributing editor to National Catholic Register , and has written over 500 articles for numerous Catholic publications. |

The Catholic Church and Conversion $9.95 In this book, Chesterton's brilliance as a writer and thinker again shine through as he explains his understanding of Catholicism and the Catholic Church and how its appeal to reason and truth eventually won him over. For Chesterton, two essentials lay at the heart of conversion, and without these, a man misses the point of it all. He describes these in his own words: ???One is that he believes it to be solid objective truth, which is true whether he likes it or not; and the other is that he seeks liberation from his sins." That is why Chesterton became a Catholic, and what he describes in his unique and colorful way in this book. |
