This book was released on 2015-09-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE author of this book, the full title of which is "The Decay of the Church of Rome," was a Franciscan monk in England when he withdrew from the Roman Catholic Church twenty years ago. Since then he has attained distinction in literature that has brought him to the front rank among English authors. 'Among other books he has written, "Twelve Years in a Monastery," "St. Augustine and His Age," "Talleyrand," "The Iron Cardinal," "Peter Abelard," and "Life in a Modern Monastery." In his latest work, a large volume of 320 pages, Mr. McCabe reviews the events which have brought a net loss in membership to the Roman Church of eighty millions in the last seventy years. The work is startling in its stern accuracy, painstaking research and vigorous presentation of facts and figures. It is also remarkable for its fairness of tone and freedom from religious bias. Mr. McCabe takes up the condition of the Roman Church in the different countries of the world, one by one, the statements of fact being in each case reinforced by figures from official sources, many quotations being taken from Roman Catholic publications. So far as the United States is concerned, it is curious to note that Mr. McCabe's figures are less than those given by such Roman Catholic authorities as Miss M. T. Elder and Bishop McFaul. Upon that showing the loss has been six millions in the last fifteen years. in spite of the heavy immigration. Mr. McCabe's figures do not come down to quite such a late date, but he puts the loss at one million for the last ten years of the nineteenth century. As to the cultural condition of Roman Catholicism in this country, Mr. McCabe points out that here--as everywhere else--it is burdened with a high percentage of poor and illiterate, and that "the percentage of Roman Catholics in the jails and workhouses is a very long way out oflall proportion to their numbers." In commenting upon the aggressions of Rome in Anglo-Saxon Countries during the last century, the assertion is made that "apart from France the Roman Church has lost more heavily in the English-speaking world than it has done in the Latin world," and figures are given to prove its accuracy. As to the Latin countries-France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Spanish America-"there can be little doubt that before long the Church of Rome will have lost half its strength." In each country and in each part of each country the secessions are in strict proportion to the spread of education. The seceders are literate to the extent of 90 per cent, and include the great majority of the educated men. The faithful are illiterate to the extent of 85 per cent; grossly ignorant to the extent of 70 per cent; imperfectly civilized to the extent of at least 20 per cent. In regard to Austria, the Los von Rom movement is said to express only a small fraction of the Roman losses, which are put down as at least three millions since 1848. Another encouraging sign of the times is the spirit manifested by not a few of the priests of Rome as well as the people. Recently the Editor received a letter from a priest in the West who had requested a sample copy of The Converted Catholic. In it he said: "Pray, pray that the merciful God may enlighten you as He did Saul on the way to Damascus, and become a member of the true Church. I will remember you every day in my prayers," and he signed himself "Your true friend."...

This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘A Corrupt Tree’ is a unique, extensively researched, four volume exposé of the dark side of the Church of Rome. It reveals that for nearly two thousand years the Church’s fundamental characteristic has been its self-serving abuse of religio-corporate power. A large proportion of this first volume provides a detailed catalogue of the multitude of unholy popes. Included, are those who were immature, capricious, corrupt, lascivious, fanatical, senile, truly mad, megalomanic, tyrannical, murderous, and wholesale killers. It confirms that for many, many centuries the popes were corrupt, cruel, inhumane, and despotic. In an age of savagery they were the leaders in barbarity; in the subsequent age of enlightenment they have persistently resisted the march of progress. Additionally, the popes were wholesale killers who ‘made the principle of assassination a law of the Christian Church.’ Accordingly, the Church ‘has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind.’ Here also are presented the cupidity, corruption, and sexual misconducts of lesser ecclesiastics, including cardinals, bishops, priests, monks and nuns. Pope Honorius III, for example, described his priests as ‘worse than beasts wallowing in their dung.’ The Church’s ruthless stranglehold on knowledge and learning is catalogued in detail. Mathematics, philosophy and science were repressed. Selected, applied theology ruled the world. ‘Everything was explained, but nothing was understood.’ The chapters on censorship reveal that even works of considerable literary or philosophical merit did not escape. A large number of writings which eventually became classics of European culture were condemned and prohibited. The Church also exhibited a vitriolic hatred of those who translated the Bible into the vernacular. Many of these men were annihilated. Holy books were burned in large numbers ‒ particularly the Jewish Talmud. It is clearly demonstrated that the Church held back civilisation for over fifteen hundred years. ‘Century after century passed away, and left the peasantry but little better than the cattle in the fields.’ Finally, the unholy behaviours of the numerous popes, cardinals, and lesser ecclesiastics are shown to establish, unequivocally, that the Church of Rome is neither holy nor apostolic. The ultimate message of these volumes is that to become an exemplary institution, and to play a truly humane role in the world’s future, the Catholic Church must change.

Book excerpt: Drawing on the wisdom gleaned from thriving mega-churches and innovative business leaders while anchoring their vision in the Eucharistic center of Catholic faith, Fr. Michael White and lay associate Tom Corcoran present the compelling and inspiring story to how they brought their parish back to life. Rebuilt: Awakening the Faithful, Reaching the Lost, and Making Church Matter is a story of stopping everything and changing focus. When their parish reached a breaking point, White and Corcoran asked themselves how they could make the Church matter to Catholics, and they realized the answer was at the heart of the Gospel. Their faithful response not only tripled their weekend mass attendance, but also yielded increased giving, flourishing ministries, and a vibrant, solidly Catholic spiritual revival. White and Corcoran invite all Catholic leaders to share the vision, borrow their strategies, and rebuild their own parishes. They offer a wealth of guidance for anyone with the courage to hear them.

Download or read book Return to Rome written by Francis J. Beckwith and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be evangelical? What does it mean to be Catholic? Can one consider oneself both simultaneously? Francis Beckwith has wrestled with these questions personally and professionally. He was baptized a Catholic, but his faith journey led him to Protestant evangelicalism. He became a philosophy professor at Baylor University and president of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS). And then, in 2007, after much prayer, counsel, and consideration, Beckwith decided to return to the Catholic church and step down as ETS president. This provocative book details Beckwith's journey, focusing on his internal dialogue between the Protestant theology he embraced for most of his adult life and Catholicism. He seeks to explain what prompted his decision and offers theological reflection on whether one can be evangelical and Catholic, affirming his belief that one can be both. EXCERPT It's difficult to explain why one moves from one Christian tradition to another. It is like trying to give an account to your friends why you chose to pursue for marriage this woman rather than that one, though both may have a variety of qualities that you found attractive. It seems to me then that any account of my return to the Catholic church, however authentic and compelling it is to me, will appear inadequate to anyone who is absolutely convinced that I was wrong. Conversely, my story will confirm in the minds of many devout Catholics that the supernatural power of the grace I received at baptism and confirmation as a youngster were instrumental in drawing me back to the Mother Church. Given these considerations, I confess that there is an awkwardness in sharing my journey as a published book, knowing that many fellow Christians will scrutinize and examine my reasons in ways that appear to some uncharitable and to others too charitable.
