COMMUNION UNDER BOTH KINDS An Ecumenical
Surrender By Michael Davies
A detailed, dispassionate history of the development which resulted
in the laity receiving Communion under one kind only in the Latin Church.
(Eastern Rite Catholics still receive under both kinds.) Davies shows that
first the Hussites, then the Protestants, claimed that reception under
one kind only was contrary to the command of Christ Himself and that the
Catholic Church was thus in error--which is still the Protestant position
today. The major sects insist upon the Catholic Church adopting the practice
of Communion under both kinds in the interest of ecumenical progress. Davies
shows why this practice leads to a lessening of belief in the Real Presence.
Essential reading for informed Catholics.

THE CREATOR AND THE CREATURE
By Fr. Faber
Fr. Faber's key book, which stands at the "source and origin" of all
his others, for it contains the fundamental insight which leads to a proper
understanding about all other aspects of our religion. Says men in the
modern era accept God's existence, but deny His sovereignty in practice,
and he explores the ramifications of this. Though composed in mid-19th
century, this book is absolutely on target today, for man's tendency to
arrogate to himself the prerogatives of God'--strong in Fr. Faber's time--is
epidemic today and cannot but influence Catholics. This book is a powerful
awakener!

THE CRISIS OF CIVILIZATION
By Hilaire Belloc
Here the great Belloc shows that ever since the disaster of the Protestant
Reformation, Western civilization (which was formed by the Catholic Faith)
has been coming apart--since Calvinism opened the door to usury, unbridled
competition, the domination of the mind by money, and ultimately the return
of slavery. Belloc says our 2 choices are a return to Catholicism or chaos!
Essential for anyone who would understand our world today!

THE CRUSADES By Hilaire
Belloc
Belloc shows that the Crusades were a titanic struggle between Christian
civlization (threatened both in the Holy Land and in Europe itself) and
"the Turk," savage Mongols who had embraced Islam. He explains the practical
reasons why the Crusaders initially succeeded and why they ultimately failed--then
he predicts the re-emergence of Islam, since Christendom failed to destroy
it in the 12th century. Makes history come alive and gives a rare, true
appreciation of Christendom and of our Catholic forefathers!
