Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Glories of the Catholic Church At a time when the eyes of nations are fixed on Rome, some in filial love because of the dangers which are closing round it, and others in eager hope of the downfall and dishonour of the Church of God; when Italy and the whole Catholic unity are afflicted by indignities heaped upon the Vicar of Jesus Christ, by those too who profess the Catholic name, the Holy Father, by commanding the publication of the following pages, points us to his solace and strength in the farthest East, where are now arising the New Glories of the Church of God. And to what does he direct our eyes? It is to no new splendour of Christian empires, no new monuments of Catholic civilization, but to the plains and cities of Corea, Tong-King, and Cochin-China, steeped with Catholic blood, shed not in the onslaught and victories of war, but in the more glorious martyrdoms of bishops and priests, of aged men, and feeble women, and children of tender age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Glories of the Catholic Church, Vol. 2: The Catholic Christian Instructed in Defence of His Faith; A Complete Exposition of the Catholic Doctrine, Together With a Full Explanation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass The Most Provident God, who by an admirable counsel of charity, raised mankind in the beginning to a participation in the divine nature, and then, after they had been freed from a common stain and from destruction, restored them to their pristine dignity, has also conferred upon them the singular safeguard of laying open to them in a supernatural way the mysteries of His divinity, wisdom, and mercy. For although there are also included in divine revelation things which are not inaccessible to human reason, so revealed to men that they can be understood by all quickly with firm certainty and without any admixture of error, yet not for this reason is revelation to be said to be absolutely necessary, but because God in His infinite goodness designed man for a supernatural end (Conc. Vat., sess. iii., cap.2, de Revel.). This supernatural revelation, according to the belief of the Universal Church, is contained both in unwritten conditions and also in written books, which are called sacred and canonical, because, being written with the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, they have God for their author, and as such they were given to the Church (Ibid).

Download or read book Triumph written by H.W. Crocker III and published by Crown. This book was released on 2009-02-25 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 2,000 years, Catholicism—the largest religion in the world and in the United States—has shaped global history on a scale unequaled by any other institution. But until now, Catholics interested in their faith have been hard-pressed to find an accessible, affirmative, and exciting history of the Church. Triumph is that history. Inside, you'll discover the spectacular story of the Church from Biblical times and the early days of St. Peter—the first pope—to the twilight years of John Paul II. It is a sweeping drama of Roman legions, great crusades, epic battles, toppled empires, heroic saints, and enduring faith. And, there are stormy controversies: Dark Age skullduggery, the Inquistition, the Renaissance popes, the Reformation, the Church's refusal to accept sexual liberation and contemporary allegations like those made in Hitler's Pope and Papal Sin. A brawling, colorful history full of inspiring pageantry and spirited polemic, Triumph will exhilarate, amuse, and infuriate as it extols the glories of Catholic history and the gripping stories of its greatest men and women.

This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glories of the Catholic Church in Art, Architecture and History: Comprising 256 Superb Photographing Views, With Graphic Commentary, Legend and Description, by Eminent Catholic Writers On the 15th of July, 1823, it was destroyed by fire, owing to the carelessness of plumbers who had been at work in the building, and almost all the art treasures which it contained were lost beyond recall. Pope Pius Vll was on his death-bed at the time, and passed away the following night. He was a member of the Benedictine order and had spent many happy years of study and prayer in the monastery of St. Paul's, so that he loved this edifice above all the other churches of his cathedral city. At the time of its destruction he was dis turbed by painful dreams, which he received as warnings of some great disaster impending upon the Church. He awoke repeatedly with a start, and asked what terrible thing had happened; but, in order to spare his last hours from an unnec essary shock and grief, the fact of the destruction ofthe grand old basilica was hidden from him. A portion of the apse and the glorious triumphal arch in the center of the church alone survived the disaster, as a result of the most prodigious exer tions. His successor, Leo Xll, in spite of the straitened condi tion of the papal finances at the time, restored it from memory, on the same dimensions, and as far as possible according to the old pattern, making it even more splendid than before.

Excerpt: ... devotion to the holy angels. jFirst $att. motive the first. The Admirable Perfections of these Blessed Spirits. We have already said, and again repeat, that the perfection of the angels is like to an immense sea without shore or bottom. Enlightened souls feel that all they can say of them is nothing, their greatness being above the reach of human thought. The angelic nature contains within itself a world of perfections: but if we add to it the consideration of their grace and glory, it is truly admirable. However perfect human nature may become, it is still, as faith teaches, very inferior to the angelic nature. A certain theologian has asserted (although, indeed, it be not the common opinion), that the least of the angels exceeds in glory the greatest of the saints; and he grounded his opinion on this text of the Holy Scripture, "He who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John the Baptist." The angels are spiritual beings, incorruptible in their nature, perfectly disengaged from matter, and quite free from the miseries to which we are incident. They possess wonderful intelligence; what the greatest geniuses have not been able to comprehend is perfectly understood by them. They know many things in one and the same moment, and without the least difficulty. Their manner of understanding is not like ours; at the first sight which they have of a thing, they know its whole import, and all its consequences--hence, they are called by excellence "Intelligences." The Scripture, to declare to us this admirable faculty of theirs, says that they are clothed in burning fire. In.the Apocalypse they are represented in the habits of the ancient pontiffs, to give us to understand that to these holy spirits the most sacred mysteries of...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Version To their unsophisticated minds, this busi ness is seen in a far different light than by ambitious theologians desirous of increasing their income and glory by a place on the translators' staff. Hitherto, they have really believed the Bible from the first verse in Genesis to the last in Revelations. They supposed that God was the author. The idea that he had left the proof-reading to fallible man had never entered their heads. But now every one is familiar with the fact that there are thousands of different read ings that can only be settled by majority vote. They cannot but reflect that, if these men can change it today, other men may do so again to-morrow. On finding what were to them some of the sublime passages left out, they will naturally ask themselves, If man composed these, why may he not lie the author of it all? The Bible in many a house, regarded in the light of a fetich, will lose much of its sacred character when the revealing light of the new version falls on it. This new version will also set thousands of people to reading the Bible. The reason why many think so much of this book is because they never read it. They have imagined that all the good, true, and beautiful things the ministers find in it are really there. By reading it for themselves, they will discover the deception. I think that, if any one would read the Bible for the purpose of deciding the ques tion of its divinity, they would find a ver dict against it long before reaching the New Testament. The Catholic Church obeys the law of self-preservation by withholding the Bible from the laity. The Pope knows better than to countenance a new version. The friends of humanity can congratulate them selves that Protestantism likes the taste of the poison that will destroy it.

An easy and gracious one it ought to be. Patriotism is personified in my audience. The honor is mine to address the country's heroes, the country's martyrs. At country's call you quickly buckled your armor on, and rushing where battle raged, you offered for your country's life the life-blood of your hearts. Many of you bear upon limb and face the sacred stigmata of patriotism. Your tried hands are doubly pledged in purest unselfishness and bravest resolve to uphold in the reign of peace the loved flag which in days of war they carried over gory fields above stain or reproach. I could not, if I would, close the portals of my soul to the rich and sweet inspirations which come to me from your souls. I shall define patriotism as you understand and feel it. Patriotism is love of country, and loyalty to its life and weal - love tender and strong: tender as the love of son for mother, strong as the pillars of death; loyalty generous and disinterested, shrinking from no sacrifice, seeking no reward save country's honor and country's triumph. Beauty And Value Of Patriotism. Patriotism! There is magic in the word. It is bliss to repeat it. Through ages the human race burnt the incense of admiration and reverence at the shrines of patriotism. The most beautiful pages of history are those which count its deeds.
