Set in London 2065, society has continued its advancement in both philosophy and technology. People no longer suffer the hardships which previous generations faced. However, Sam Moorcroft, a teenager, is drawn to a particular village, primitive in nature. Designed as a sociological experiment, the village has no connection or knowledge of the outside world. Sam finds his new life to be rough but strangely appealing - so different from modern life. Amidst much turmoil, Sam eventually realizes that he is torn between the two worlds. Interlander is a thought-provoking tale that examines the impact that technology has on a person's spiritual life.

The Parson's Tale is the final chapter of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Because of its profound Catholic content, this tale has been selectively excluded from most modern versions of Canterbury Tales. In it a humble parson, or priest, educates us on the topic of sin: its identification, repentance, and atonement. A primary emphasis is given to the seven deadly sins. Upon delving into this section, a person may subtly undergo an examination of conscience pertaining to each sin that is being discussed. This book is a guide for spiritual perfection.

There are many wonderful books in the world that address and teach how a good Catholic should think. However, it is important that a person not only think like a Catholic, but feel like a Catholic.

The White Cockade is filled with bite-sized poems that will inspire you and touch you on an emotional level.

Three Elements that Will Revitalize Christendom. The title "Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh" means simply this: Gold is the pure, imperishable quality of the monastic ideal, Frankincense the supreme act of worship through the Blessed Sacrament, Myrrh the saving quality of a right philosophy of life that yet must be bitter to the taste of many people. Together they are the three gifts that must again be offered by a world once more led, though now by the red and malefic star of war, to worship and fall down before the Incarnate God so long and so lightly denied.

Artificial Birth Control is considered by most people today to be one of the most wonderful things ever invented by Man - on a par with fire or the wheel. 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.Fifty 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.To 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.

What is a traditional Catholic? Solange Hertz explains: "Given the present state of society, at the polls he rarely finds a candidate to vote for in good conscience, but plenty against, thereby earning himself a reputation for irremediable contrariness on most any issue before the public. 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. It is accused of undermining every hope for the future by wholesale retreat into the past when its only objective is to set things straight and get them running properly again." Arguably the most outspoken traditional Catholic writer of the 20th century, Solange Hertz is one of the foremost defenders of Catholic tradition. In On the Contrary, Hertz tackles topics including the defamation of Christopher Columbus, sex, gender roles, masonry, Americanism, Pope John Paul II, and modern liturgical developments. Hertz's zeal will rub off on you as she vocalizes and outlines the fight that we as Catholics are all involved in.

Most people would agree that democracy throughout the world is in deep trouble. From the polarizing politics of the United States to the endless refugee crisis in Europe to the rise in radical Islam, there is a widespread feeling that our way of life—political, cultural, and social—is under siege. But what if democracy itself is to blame? What if the current threats are not distortions of but inherent to democracy? What if the solution to our present ills is not “fixing” the system, but junking it entirely? Christophe Buffin de Chosal asks these forbidden questions, and answers them unarguably with Gallic wit and glittering style. If you read only one book on politics this year, let this be it!
