Why has a haunted manor deep in the forest of Anjou been bought by the popular Baron Felix of Firefern? Why does a mysterious light burn in its turret when no one is there? How did its previous occupant, the mysterious Doctor Wolfram, meet his death, and why will his body not rest quiet? Witchcraft and Satanism are never far away in this story of the fifteenth century. After Good King René's brush with death, Baron Firefern is accused of poisoning and sorcery. The ensuing trial, with its astonishing dénouement, is one of the great court scenes of literature. The revelation of the Secret of Firefern solves the mystery but imposes a mission. Firefern's envy-driven cousin Lord Walter de Maulny cannot be allowed to succeed in his damnable enterprise. But who can stop him? Will Galahad de Kernis, the plucky Breton page, or returning crusader Sir Tancred de Villepreux, prove the ultimate hero in the final battle ... or will Firefern himself have the last word?

The author is a lifetime student of banking and money. In these pages he subjects both to critical explanation and appraisal based on reality and justice rather than on profit and greed. Banks and Money sets out, as no other book has ever done before, exactly how money comes into being in the present system. Gwynne also explains why - as few respected financial experts realise - the current means of money creation by the world-wide banking system is immoral and suicidal, though useful and even indispensable for bringing about the "New World Order". N. M. Gwynne is a graduate of Oxford University, and a retired Fellow of the British Institute of Chartered Accountants.After valuable experience at the leading financial and industrial conglomerate of its day, Slater Walker Securities Ltd., including being a director of its Australian subsidiary, he was the founder, chairman and chief executive of a successful international public company, Cork Investments Ltd. (later renamed Camden Park Estates Ltd.)

When we cease to breathe and when our heart stops beating, we are to all appearances dead. Almost everyone would judge that we are dead. But has the soul really left the body? Fr. Ferreres draws on medical testimony to show that there is a substantial interval between apparent death and real death. He offers the most convincing of all proofs: countless examples of persons "dead" for some hours, so far as science could ascertain, who later "came back to life". This truth gives rise to grave questions: how long is the usual interval between apparent and real death? How may we be certain when death has occurred? Can the apparently dead patient still hear and understand? What measures can be used to restore life to an apparently dead patient? What can the priest do for the soul if he arrives after the cessation of the vital functions? How long should burial be delayed? Fr. Ferreres's work will rivet every reader's attention and will reward him with information of the greatest usefulness.

Did Christ found His Church on St. Peter? Was Peter prince of the Apostles and visible head of the Church? Was he infallible in his doctrinal teaching? Had he the power to make laws that bind all Christians? Was he the first bishop of Rome? Were his privileges communicated by divine law to succeeding Roman Pontiffs? Is there a consensus on the answer to these questions discernible in the New Testament and in the Early Fathers and Councils? No one could be better qualified than Cardinal Merry del Val (1865-1930) to answer these questions. Distinguished for his learning and holiness, he was selected by Pope St. Pius X as his right hand man and spent his adult life in the most senior Vatican posts. This book, written in reply to Protestant propaganda, effortlessly sweeps away errors and misunderstandings leaving the truth plain to any sincere reader. It quotes all the major sources of the early centuries. An ideal book to instruct Catholics or convert Protestants.

Cambridge-educated translator John S. Daly puts the scholarship of the late Michael Davies under the spotlight. What emerges from systematic comparison with statements of the Magisterium and the greatest theologians must destroy Davies's credibility in the eyes of every serious reader. ""Michael Davies - An Evaluation"" remains not only an unanswered indictment of Davies as a Catholic scholar, but a standing refutation of the entire ecclesiology of those who believe it possible for an orthodox Catholic to reject the doctrinal errors and reformed rites spawned by Vatican II without calling into doubt the legitimacy of recent papal claimants and the validity of the new sacraments.This book was hailed by celebrated traditionalist pastor Fr. Oswald Baker (1915-2004) as one of the two most important to have emerged from the post-Vatican II crisis in the Catholic Church.
