C. S. Lewis’ "Mere Christianity" is the obvious inspiration for the title of this book. In that book, Lewis uses the example of a person standing in a hall that is lined on both sides by rooms: Each room represents a different Christian tradition. He wanted to get readers into the hallway and let them choose for themselves whether to enter Christianity by the door of Anglicanism, Catholicism, and so forth."Mere Christianity" brilliantly focuses on what essentially all Christians agree upon; namely the Creed, the canon of the New Testament, etc.

In the 50 years following the First Crusade, the Latin states in the East were consolidated, but there were also growing tensions and new challenges. Against this backdrop, the fall of the County of Edessa in December 1144 at the hands of Zengi, the atabeg of Aleppo and Mosul, was a catastrophic event. Founded in 1098 by the future King Baldwin of Boulogne, Edessa was the first Crusader state, as well as the northernmost, weakest, and least populated.

For centuries, St. Louis de Montfort’s The Love of Eternal Wisdom has been treasured by the Church but left unread by lay Catholics, especially in modern times. Its mystical language is seen as daunting, its insights obscured by archaic eighteenth-century prose. Now Catholic author and Rosary Army founder Greg Willits breathes new life into this hidden gem by weaving his own moving life story into de Montfort’s inspired words. More than a book, this is a spiritual companion for the wounded — for anyone weighed down by trauma, burnout, doubt, or dryness of soul.

He nailed a piece of paper to a door and split the Christian world in half. Martin Luther wasn’t trying to become a legend. He was trying to survive damnation, out-argue indulgence sellers, and maybe, just maybe, figure out how to get into Heaven. But what began as one monk’s spiritual meltdown became the spark that torched a millennium of Catholic power. MARTIN LUTHER: The Monk Who Broke the Church tells the full, unfiltered story of the man who stood up to popes, flipped the Bible into German, married a runaway nun, and set Europe on fire.

Les soldats du pape (1860-1867)", d'Oscar de Poli, est un récit épique et émouvant qui retrace la saga héroïque des volontaires pontificaux, ces "soldats de la foi" qui défendirent le Pape Pie IX contre l'invasion garibaldienne. Écrit par un vétéran de Castelfidardo, ce modeste témoignage vise à honorer les vainqueurs de Nerola, Acquapendente, Viterbe, Farnese et Mentana, dans un drame sanglant opposant la Croix à la Révolution antireligieuse.

Religion has always asked one simple thing of its followers: faith. But in today’s world of endless choice, instant gratification, and personal convenience, faith is no longer practiced with the same depth, discipline, or devotion. Instead, many have become what I call “Cafeteria Catholics”, believers who stroll through the buffet line of doctrine, picking what they like, leaving behind what they don’t. They embrace the parts of faith that comfort them, forgiveness, ritual, tradition, but turn away from the parts that challenge them, sacrifice, obedience, discipline, and truth.
