Titoli in Cattolicesimo

En diálogo con el Señor, textos para la predicación oral. Dirigidas en su momento a miembros del Opus Dei, sus palabras fueron publicadas para un público general en 2017, en el contexto de sus obras completas. Ahora se ofrecen en un formato más divulgativo para que, en palabras de Javier Echevarría, "muchas otras personas -además de los fieles del Opus Dei- descubran una ayuda para tratar a Dios con confianza y afecto filial". Su título "manifiesta bien el contenido y finalidad de esta catequesis: ayudar a hacer oración personal".

In this course, Professor Joseph Pearce shows that Tolkien's own words about The Lord of the Rings being a "fundamentally religious and Catholic work" also apply to The Hobbit. Some readers mistakenly believe that The Hobbit is simply a children's story with little significance. While Tolkien indeed wrote the book for his children's entertainment, the narrative simplicity only serves its great moral and theological profundity. Professor Pearce guides you through various life lessons discovered through an in-depth reading of The Hobbit.

Nell'ultimo scorcio dello scorso millennio, soprattutto dal XVI secolo in poi, si è assistito ad un crescente intensificarsi del fenomeno delle apparizioni mariane, che negli ultimi due secoli ha riguardato particolarmente le zone del vecchio continente, cioè dell'Europa. Sembra quasi che la Madonna abbia voluto opporre al fenomeno sempre più crescente della scristianizzazione e della secolarizzazione un piano mirante a porre un qualche argine al dilagare sempre più crescente dell'ateismo e dell'immoralità.

«Soy ateo. Soy anticlerical. Soy un laicista militante, un racionalista contumaz, un impío riguroso. Pero aquí me tienen, volando en dirección a Mongolia con el anciano vicario de Cristo en la Tierra, dispuesto a interrogarle sobre la resurrección de la carne y la vida eterna.

Padre Pio’s intense spirituality and holiness remain legendary and life-changing.

Based on countless hours of interviews in Rome with Benedict himself, this two-volume biography is the definitive record of the life of Joseph Ratzinger and the legacy of Pope Benedict XVI.

The Summa Theologica, by Thomas Aquinas, is a fundamental text in Catholic doctrine, a compendium of theology that has been studied and debated since its first publication in the 13th century. Furthermore, it has been widely regarded as one of the classics of Western philosophy, not least...

In recent years, Christians everywhere are rediscovering the Jewish roots of their faith. Every year at Easter time, many believers now celebrate Passover meals (known as Seders) seeking to understand exactly what happened at Jesus' final Passover, the night before he was crucified. Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes.

One-on-one with Satan. A chilling and highly convincing account of possession and exorcism in modern America, hailed by NBC Radio as "one of the most stirring books on the contemporary scene."

The Diary is an amazing narrative that chronicles the experiences of a simple, uneducated Polish nun who received a special call shortly before the outbreak of World War II. Our Lord appeared to her and instructed her to spread the message of his Divine Mercy to all, especially in our current age, which is full of so much distress and worldliness. The message of the Divine Mercy is that God loves us all of us. And He wants us to recognize that his mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon him with trust, receive his mercy, and let it flow through us to others.

In his first book of original, never-before-seen writings, Pope Leo XIV offers readers around the world a window into the spiritual foundation that would lead him to the papacy-in his own words before his election. Before becoming Pope Leo XIV, Robert Francis Prevost had never published a book...

Two years before he died, St. Thomas Aquinas, probably the greatest teacher the Church has ever known, was asked by his assistant Brother Reginald to write a simple summary of the faith of the Catholic Church for those who lacked the time or the stamina to tackle his massive Summa Theologica. In response, the great saint quickly set down in language that non-scholars can understand his peerless insights into the major topics of theology: the Trinity, Divine Providence, the Incarnation of Christ, the Last Judgment, and much more.

Decisions, decisions . . . life presents us with so many, big and small. How can we confidently make choices that bring us true happiness? The life of the virtues holds the key, and among those virtues, prudence holds the reins. No, this isn't your grandmother's definition of prudence. This virtue actually inspires practical wisdom, allowing us to choose well and to bring order into our lives. In Prudence: Choose Confidently, Live Boldly, Fr. Gregory Pine, OP, aims to work prudence back into the conversation and explain how it can transform us along our path toward what really matters.

As we all know, and as many of our well-established textbooks have argued for decades, the Inquisition was one of the most frightening and bloody chapters in Western history, Pope Pius XII was anti-Semitic and rightfully called "Hitler's Pope", the Dark Ages were a stunting of the progress of knowledge to be redeemed only by the secular spirit of the Enlightenment, and the religious Crusades were an early example of the rapacious Western thirst for riches and power. But what if these long-held beliefs were all wrong?

Monastic life and its counter-cultural wisdom come alive in the stories and lessons of Br. Paul Quenon, OCSO, during his more than five decades as a Trappist at the Abbey of Gethsemani. He served as a novice under Thomas Merton, and he also welcomed some of the monastery's more well-known visitors to Merton's hermitage. In Praise of the Useless Life includes Quenon's quiet reflections on what it means to live each day with careful attentiveness. The humble peace and simplicity of the monastery and of Quenon's daily life are beautifully portrayed in this memoir. 

In Three to Get Married, Archbishop Fulton Sheen discusses the five tensions that arise in our marriages, and how to resolve them in Christ. Learn the roots of the contradictory desires that threaten our relationships, and how they stem from expecting from our spouses the infinite love and utter intimacy that only Christ can provide. Remastered digital audio of a live sermon.

Il libro è stato scritto dalla necessità di un cuore sacerdotale, spontaneamente, di fronte alle minacce delle ideologie globali del mondo moderno, che sono e devono essere una seria sfida sia per la Chiesa che per ogni cattolico. Il male di queste ideologie deriva dal loro sistema di valori e ragionamenti, alternativo al cristianesimo, che sconvolge l'intero ordine morale e giuridico del mondo e, di conseguenza, può portare a una catastrofe culturale della nostra civiltà.
