Art, architecture, music, literature, theatre, law - even cuisine and sports - at their best, all bear her mark. However much she and her teachings may be despised by media and government, however many of her children may abandon her, this is a reality that cannot be shaken. For over two millennia, it has been so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet at the same time, the Church has perhaps never faced so great a combination of challenges as she does today. Most secular governments oppose her to greater or lesser degrees; the Mass, her most solemn rite, has in many places been turned into a collection of strange ceremonies where irreverence vies with sheer banality to conceal the awe-filled reality of what is actually happening - the descent of Jesus Christ Himself into the bread and wine on the altar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere remains an enormous question which few are anxious to tackle: why bother with the Church at all? Why is she here? In \u003cem\u003eDesire and Deception\u003c\/em\u003e, Charles A. Coulombe makes the case that the role Christ first envisaged for her - that of the sole means of Salvation for mankind - has been completely obscured in the minds of the vast majority of Catholics today. He gives the history of how this came about, explains that this obscurity is at the root of the Church's current internal dilemmas, and shows that Catholics must regain their sense of mission if they are to fulfill Christ's mandate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0545\/7101\/files\/desire-and-deception_sample.pdf?16092476173951151082\"\u003eRead the First Chapter Now\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eQuotes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Modernists] have succeeded in blotting out former solemn pronouncements from the popular mind with the newer ones, proclaiming as development of doctrine what was actually repudiation.

In casual conversation his is nearly always the minority opinion, especially if it was once held by the vast majority of educated people in the civilized world and never seriously contested until relatively recently... Offering the only positive remedy to the faltering social machinery, [traditional Catholicism] will appear negative at every level. Whatever reconstruction it proposes is labeled destruction.

The second part discusses changes in the approach to the Mass, the Sacraments, and Christian life as a whole. Mr. Coulombe closes the book by explaining how a person can safeguard the integrity of his faith amidst all the challenges of today's world.

They would rather be presidents of the assembly than offerers of the altar; initiators than baptisers; counselors than confessors. So be it. But let them give up also their salaries and sinecures, their cooks and Cadillacs. If we laymen forced them to consider, the question not in terms of theology, but in terms of revenue, orthodoxy would bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe time is coming when we young people will hold the Church in our hands. If we are to do our duty to Christ the King, we must accept the challenge of Catholic reconstruction. To do that, we must each of us acquire the education denied us. We could not help being robbed; we can blame only ourselves if we remain poor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bebop “rebel without a cause” attitude affected every sector of Catholic practice in the 1960s and 70s, and is with us yet. But by trivialising the Church in their care, our predecessors did more than gratify their own egos. They made the Church appear to be less than worth dying for, and thus less than worth living for. And in doing so they lost the greater part of our generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is to our generation a nihilism: that is, a nothingism. For us, there are no absolutes, no morals, no vices, and no virtues. We have been raised to believe that our own desires are the only goals we need. But it is not so. We have been taught that all desires can come true. But that is a lie. Our unachievable quest for constant gratification becomes a mere flight from pain that is as unrealistic as it is useless. That flight can go only into a dead end. Contrary to what our mentors, either at home or on the boob tube, have said, there is no happiness without responsibility, and there is no responsibility without pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt follows, then, that before we can do anything constructive, we must rid ourselves of certain mental preconditioning bequeathed to us by the factors mentioned above. Of all the generations ever spawned in this land of the free and home of the brave, ours has been the most nourished by lies. Falsehood throbs, pumps, and flows through our thought. Getting everything we want will make us happy. Sex will make us happy. Drugs will make us happy. We alone can determine what is right for us. If only we push hard enough, total freedom and total indulgence will bring total joy. We have been sold a bill of spoiled goods, and for lack of learning, wisdom, or age, we have bought them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut we can only get so close to another person, and no further. As we were created for loving union with our Creator, it follows that union is the unconscious model for all of our relationships. In the Eucharist, that real and total union we hunger for occurs, and fills us with life. The lack of that union is eternal death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf we, the youth of today, can congratulate ourselves on our superior intelligence, we may also think about our greater indifference. If a hostile government persecuted the Church in America, would we drop all our hopes of career, family, and rush off to the barricades? Would an American counterpart of the Mexican Cristero or the Austrian Heimwehr spring up, vowed to save Catholicism or die in the attempt? Would we be like the brave Knights of Gondor, who rode against Sauron’s legions to defend Minas Tirith, despite certain defeat? Prudence and insight often conceal a tepid, weak heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf we wish to free our Church and our country from the evil ideas and the evil men who enslave them, we must first become people of prayer. Otherwise, it would merely be a case of substituting one set of scoundrels for another, of corrupt young fools for corrupt old fools. Are not most (if not all) political revolutions like that? The only method of avoiding becoming the mirror images of the enemy is that of prayer, penance, and humility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeware, however, of theologians who try to “interpret, nuance, or rethink,” infallible statements. Had Pope or Council meant something different from what they clearly said, they would have said something else. Often this “nuancing” is done to remove uncomfortable doctrine. But if the doctrine is uncomfortable, it is the theologian who must be “nuanced.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Charles A.

His wife had been easily deceived by his wiles, and when Adam followed her into disobedience against his better judgment, the angelic father of lies must have felt certain that all material creation was within his grasp. With Adam in his power, everything over which Adam had been given dominion would naturally fall under his exquisite satanic control, to rearrange and govern as he saw fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Perfecter and Re-creator of the Universe, Satan would build on earth the Utopia he had failed to establish on high. His savage thirst for empire would be slaked, for naturally he expected that Adam, with the shamefaced Eve at his side, would become his terrestrial ally in the Great Revolution he had started in heaven. But this never happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike Eve, Adam “was not deceived” (\u003cem\u003e1 Tim. 2:14\u003c\/em\u003e). First he hid, then he blamed his wife, but in the end our good father repented. Because even in his fallen state he was still head of the human family, he earned a second chance not only for himself, but for all of us. To the devil’s horror, instead of persisting in their disobedience, our first parents humbly accepted the punishments God meted out to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet this be a lesson to us, for they ended by setting a good example. Determined to remain subject to God’s rule as best they could, they incurred, of course, the Adversary’s undying enmity. This brought on the state of affairs now generally known as “the human condition,” and under the circumstances, we are very fortunate to be in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the devil remained steadfast in his desire to supplant the divine economy with his own artificial government, and he has been able to whip up plenty of enthusiasm for his program among Adam’s descendants. Beginning with Adam’s firstborn Cain, many would be led to “make the world a better place” by concocting utopias to inflict on themselves and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the ages rolled on, humanity inevitably polarized around those two contingents designated in \u003cem\u003eGenesis\u003c\/em\u003e as “the seed of the woman” and “the seed of the serpent.” One wanted no more nonsense, because obviously the situation was bad enough, and the other was sure it could solve everything if only God were kept out of it.

Raised in a Christian family, and aware of attractions to other boys at age six, Mattson's life was marked by constant turmoil between his faith in God and his sexual attractions. Finding the conflict too great, he turned his back on God in anger and decided to live life the way the world said he should--guided by his desires for men, he accepted that he was gay and found a man to share a life with. Yet he discovered the happiness and freedom that the gay rights movement promised him to be an empty mirage. In this honest and frank memoir, Mattson chronicles his journey from living a life as a gay man, to finding freedom in living out the call of chastity, rooted in humbling accepting the reality of his true sexual nature, given by him by God: he is simply a man, like any other man who has walked the face of the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart memoir, part philosophy about reality, and part a practical guide for living chastely, Mattson draws lessons from his own fight for chastity, sharing wisdom from his own failures and successes. Relying on the rich deposit of the saints for wisdom, Mattson provides practical steps in battling for chastity, rooted above all else in humble reliance on Jesus as man's holiness. Recalling his own struggles in discovering the meaning of true friendship, Mattson reflects on the nature of friendship, and the temptations which can often enter the realm of friendship for a man like him. He explains the Catechism's difficult phrases about homosexuality, such as -intrinsically disordered- and finds within them liberating truth. His journey comes full circle when his lifelong search for happiness and peace is found in the realization that, above all else, what is true about him is that he is a beloved child of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his honest look at his own wounds, shortcomings and his battle with God, Mattson has written a book for everyone who has ever wondered who they are, why they are here, and where God can be found when we suffer. A welcome voice of sanity among the muddled thinking of modern society who believes that sexual identity is rooted in the realm of feelings and desires, Mattson urges the Church to unabashedly proclaim the Good News that Christ said while he walked among us: -Have you not read that He who made them from the beginning made them male and female?-\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daniel Mattson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39588398862,"sku":"9781621640721","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0545\/7101\/products\/1621640728.jpg?v=1582700859"},{"product_id":"god-or-nothing-cardinal-sarah","title":"God or Nothing","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this fascinating autobiographical interview, one of the most prominent and outspoken Catholic Cardinals gives witness to his Christian faith and comments on many current controversial issues.

That is why democracy will always claim to serve the people while only permitting a small number to rule in their stead. What democracy demands from the people is legitimacy. It does not care about their opinion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe political parties put forward those of their members who show themselves to be the best manipulators. But among these, only those who are the most open to being manipulated themselves accede to power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal politician, on the other hand, is pliable, convincing, and a liar by instinct. He is not attached to any platform and has no ideological objective. The single thing to which he is truly committed is power. He wants its prestige and advantages, and seeks above all to be personally enriched by it. Any politician who presents this aspect is recognized as fit for power in a democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbstentionism lifts a corner of the veil. It is an important indicator. Far from being indifferent to election results, abstentionists consider it useless to vote, either because the candidate of their choice has no chance of winning or because, in their eyes, the country will be governed in the same way regardless of the winning candidate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut when a party obtains an absolute majority, it can be tempted to put an end to the democratic system. Democracy is never protected from self-destruction. When the parties are too weak, it is the rule of the minority; when they are too powerful, they compromise the system. In both cases, democracy shows itself to be impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reality is that democracy was invented for the purpose of bringing an oligarchy into power and keeping it there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublic sentiment ... has been conditioned so much against any other form of government and it has become so convinced that democracy, in spite of its weaknesses, is the system of humanity par excellence, that it cannot admit that this sure system could also be, like so many others, called into question.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is striking to see how quickly a democratic population accepts as normal acts which it considered immoral, simply because they have become legal. Thus, wearing a safety belt inside a car has become a moral act because it is a legal obligation. Not insuring oneself when insurance is obligatory borders on immorality. Abortion and euthanasia, which revolted our grandparents, have become morally acceptable since being decriminalized. The salaries paid to political personnel, which constitutes an odious scandal in states claiming to be egalitarian, are generally accepted and at times even justified because they are legal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProgress can only exist when we are convinced we can do better and that things can be perfected.

Its benefits to society and the individuals therein are constantly ballyhooed by government, media, and the education industry, and its loving acceptance considered to be one of the main signs of a civilised people. But – what if that is all a lie? What if the truth is that its wholehearted embrace by Western society is in fact responsible for many of the evils that afflict us, ranging from the deathly – such as the collapse of social security – to the merely annoying, as with men refusing to treat women with respect? What if those in charge of forming our opinions for us have in reality been conmen, blindly using our worst instincts to ruin us? This is in fact the real “inconvenient truth” of our time: we have been offered a shoddy bill of tainted goods, and like marks and dupes from the beginning of time, have eagerly bought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFifty years ago, a lone voice tried to tell us the truth: Pope Paul VI in his horrifically prophetic encyclical, Humanae Vitae. He suffered for doing so the rest of his life, being attacked not only by the sleazy figures who dominate government, media, and education – but also by supposedly Catholic bishops, priests, and laity. They broke his heart, but his predictions have nevertheless come true – and we who are living now are forced to deal with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo commemorate the Golden Anniversary of Humanae Vitae, we offer this book, written in 1922 by Halliday Sutherland, a distinguished doctor, naval officer, and travel writer. Despite his innumerable accomplishments in many fields – not least literary – and his great fame during his lifetime, Dr. Sutherland has been punished since his death with obscurity. His approach to the question is not that of a Pope, but of a doctor and man of the world, who could see what a horrific effect birth control would have on society in very practical terms. When this book came out, he was slapped with a libel suit by Marie Stopes, the British Margaret Sanger. After two years of litigation he was finally vindicated in the courts; as you will see, his predictions too were bourne out by subsequent events. But reality means nothing to children of the lie – even when it slaps them in the face. Even so, if we love our country, mankind, and our own integrity, we must at some point accept and act upon the truth. This book is a powerful way to do that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForeword by Charles A.

Then came the epic catastrophe when in an hour the card-castle had crumbled about our ears. The efficiency of material imperialism swept back the inefficiency of an imperialized democracy, and so it has continued for four years. The boasted barriers against war or dissolution, erected one behind the other by finance, capitalism, a socialistic and organized proletariat, universal education, popular government, intellectual and spiritual emancipation, broke, toppled and dissolved, forming only vanishing and impotent ramparts against a triumphant Force released from all bondage to moral standards and spiritual laws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Incarnation and the Redemption are not accom­plished facts, completed nineteen centuries ago, they are processes that still continue, and their term is fixed only by the total regeneration and perfecting of matter, and the Seven Sacraments are the chiefest among an infinity of sacramental processses which are the agencies of this eternal transfiguration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater, chrism, oil, the spoken word, the touch of the hands, the sign of the cross, and finally and supremely the bread and wine of Holy Mass, each a material thing but each representing, signifying and containing some gift of the Holy Spirit, real, absolute and potent.
