Born in Ireland in 1800 of English Stock and raised in a strongly Protestant surrounding, Kenelm Henry Digby entered the Roman Catholic Church while writing his first great masterpiece; The Broadstone of Honour, first published in 1822. The Broadstone treats of the origin, spirit and institutions of Christian Chivalry and the true practice of the same. It was his deep study of these lofty ideals and the "Ages of Faith", which he had been raised to despise, that led him to his conversion. Maxims of Christian Chivalry was edited bt Nicholas Dillon, O.F.M. in 1924, taking essential bits from The Broadstone and categorizing them into a book which could well serve as a manual for the Catholic Knight. Some headings include: Definition of Honour * Definition of Chivalry * Motto of Chivalry * Rules of Chivalry * Extracts from the Book of Chivalrous Instruction * Religious Orders of Knighthood * Preparation for Knighthood * List of Famous Knights * Facing Death * The Voice of Nature * Fruits of Solitude * Reverence for True Womanhood * The Divine Office * Church Music * All Things in Christ...but a small sampling. Foreword by Robert Kane, S.J.

Vestments and How to Make Them

A cloud of witnesses in the defense of animals - voices coming from the Church through the ages from the full text of Pope St. Pius V's Condemnation of Bull Fighting to the anti-vivisection writings of Cardinal Manning, Cardinal Gibbons and others. The heart of the book deals with how animals have figured in the lives of the saints. Many excerpts, tales and legends are within given of dozens upon dozens of saints.

The Church and the Animals

Two well-known writers here join forces to describe the special and traditional Catholic feast day dishes of many lands. Whereas the the variety in Christmas, New Year, and Easter observances is known, less familiar are the special foods for "Mothering Sunday," "Maundy Thursday," "Lamas Day." Few know that the origin of the veal cutlet is attributed to St. Ambrose, who thus prepared the meat he gave to the poor; that the favorite sweetmeat of St. Francis of Assisi was Frangipane; or that in Italy a cake called "Sphinx" is traditionally served on St. Joseph's Day. We learn the forgotten origin of many well-known dishes, and the family is provided with numerous recipes to restore these wonderful traditional customs. With a table of movable feasts.

Is Mary Magdalene identical with the Sinful Woman? Is the Sinful Woman identical with Mary of Bethany? Is Mary Magdalene the same as Mary of Bethany? Dr. Ketter examines the questions posed in modern Biblical criticism in the light of Tradition, the opinions of the Fathers of the Church and the early theologians in a searching analysis in this rare and long out-of-print profound treatise.

The Magdalene Question

Ketter, Peter

If there's one thing in the Bible that's hard for moderns to understand it's the matter of idolatry. Can you imagine a bunch of people in our day going out and building a golden calf and then worshipping it? You can't? Then read Ye Gods and you'll be convinced that ours is the world's most idolatrous generation. There is a point at which nice appreciation for the things of this world fades into a religion of materialism. Praise suggests a litany, fondness betrays an undue attachment, admiration becomes worship and criticism is regarded as heresy. The godless desert of modern society is thick with golden calves. Glamour girls are not just pretty girls, they are mundane saints to whom people are irresistibly attracted by their very being. Music lovers are finding "the satisfaction of all their religious feelings" in harmonies which were only meant to provide a pleasing hour or an occasional uplifting of the spirits. And who does not know those other much-worshipped gods Security, Speed, Success? Ye Gods does a devastating, and often hilarious, dissection of our new mysticisms. Hardly anyone will emerge from the last page unscathed. "The remarks in this direct attack on modern paganism are aimed at the godless who live in our land; but there is clearly also a strong thrust at Catholic complacency. If you are looking for different, thought-provoking reading, this is it." - Dominicana About the author: Ed Willock was born in South Boston in 1916. A football accident kept him laid up for five years during which time he spent educating himself. Influenced by his friendship with Peter Maurin and the works of Aquinas and Chesterton, he founded the much hailed Integrity magazine in the late 1940's and was a founder of the Catholic community Maryhurst. He died in 1961.

Ye Gods

Willock, Ed

"One of the greatest glories of the Church is her noble womanhood. And to-day especially, when the world is in many different ways is seeking to turn our women from the pursuit of the Christian ideal in wifehood and motherhood, there is need surely of recalling the inspiriting stories of these women who sought first of all for the kingdom of God." - From the author's preface. Nearly 400 pages full of inspiring biographies of Catholic wives and mothers from throughout history. Tales are herein told of Catholic wives and mothers who were queens, writers, teachers, poets, founders of religious houses, hospitals and orphanages and those who followed all manner of vocations from the earliest times of the Church. In every department the wife and mother has been chosen by God to help in His work, and here Msgr. Blunt, priest of the Archdiocese of Boston, has brought forth this incredible and inspiring collection of biographies of traditional Catholic wives and mothers, both famous and obscure. Some chapters and biographies include: * Mothers and Martyrs (126-313) * Matrons of the Early Church * St. Monica * The Queen Saints * St. Elizabeth of Hungary * St. Rita * Royal Ladies * Isabella the Catholic * Margaret Roper * Anna Maria Taigi * St. Elizabeth Seton * Jerusha Barber * Mary O'Connell * Lady Georgiana Fullerton * Margaret Haughery * Pauline Craven * Literary Wives and Mothers

Great Wives and Mothers

Blunt, Hugh Francis

Discusses under 3 main headings the nature of prayer, the fundamental principles and the effect of progress on method, and the elements that make for progress. The second half treats of the more mechanical elements that go to make up prayer. Plenty of good practical direction from a master on the subject.
