The Ecstasy of Love in the Thought of Thomas Aquinas
Those interested in the concept of ecstasy would be forgiven for assuming that a sober scholastic like St. Thomas Aquinas had little place for the idea. Yet in this groundbreaking study, sure to refine our understanding of the Angelic Doctor, Peter Kwasniewski shows that St. Thomas contemplates the nature of ecstasy at key stages in the development of his thought and that it plays a crucial role in his doctrine of love. After a stimulating study of treatments of ecstasy in ancient philosophy, Sacred Scripture, and the medieval tradition prior to Aquinas, Kwasniewski finds that he can be seen as breathing new life into the concept. While his contemporary, St. Bonaventure, for example, tended ...
Treasuring the Goods of Marriage in a Throwaway Society
In this dynamic work, which draws on sources ancient and modern, pagan and Christian, Eastern Christian and Western, Dr. Kwasniewski helps readers better understand and more fully live the Church's rich and beautiful teaching on the sacred mysteries of marriage, family, childbearing and childrearing, as well as the vocations to consecrated virginity and celibate priesthood, all of which are set in light of one another (as, indeed, they cannot be understood in isolation). The work uncovers and opposes the deepest errors out of which the sexual revolution emerged or into which it has degenerated. Rising above lower levels of analysis, Treasuring the Goods of Marriage in a Throwaway Society reaches a properly ascetical-mystical level, dealing ultimately with spiritual warfare and divinization.
Tradition and Sanity: Conversations & Dialogues of a Postconciliar Exile
Tradition and Sanity brings together a round-table discussion, interviews, and imaginary dialogues exploring the depths and shallows of Catholic liturgy, the lyricism of sacred music, the state of the Church as it suffers attack from without and dementia from within, and the revival of traditional beliefs and practices in younger generations.
True Obedience in the Church
Pope Benedict XVI affirmed the ongoing growth and perpetual validity of the Traditional Latin Mass, insisting that “what earlier generations held as sacred remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful.” However, with the 2021 release of Traditionis Custodes, his successor has declared precisely the opposite, sending shockwaves through the Church by calling for the restriction and eventual suppression of her most beautiful and venerable form of worship — and the one experiencing the most dramatic and impassioned growth. What is a conscientious Catholic to do? In this pivotal book, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski offers an esse...
Are Canonizations Infallible?
For a long time now, the majority position of Catholic theologians has been that canonizations conducted by the pope are infallible and inerrant. A minority current has always existed that disputes this view. Perennial difficulties with the nature and extension of papal infallibility as well as problems peculiar to recent decades in the Church make it timely to reexamine a debate that has lain dormant for too long, and to give proponents of the minority view an opportunity to make their case. The twelve contributors, sharing a desire for a candid and searching inquiry, argue both sides of the question fairly and fully. Each author brings distinct facts, observations, and arguments to the con...

Illusions of Reform
Between September and November 2022, Church Life Journal published a lengthy series of articles on liturgical reform, coauthored by Drs. John Cavadini, Mary Healy, and Thomas Weinandy. With its roseate view of the Liturgical Movement, its caricature of the Catholic faithful prior to Vatican II, its forensically questionable affirmation of Sacrosanctum Concilium's paternity of the Novus Ordo (and its solemn chrismation of both by the Holy Spirit), and its severe rejection of the "Tridentine movement," the series sparked ample criticism of the authors' perplexingly inadequate scholarship, grandiose generalizations, and pastoral callousness.Since the innovationist and anti-traditionalist argume...
Bound by Truth
At the sixtieth anniversary of Sacrosanctum Concilium, the situation on the ground for Catholics is more chaotic than ever. A liturgical reform, meant to usher in a new age of full churches and ecumenical rapprochement, delivered neither; instead, churches are emptying and closing at an unprecedented rate. Meanwhile, an ancient old rite, grown to maturity in the Middle Ages, encrusted with Baroque pearls, and officially pronounced dead in the 1960s, has made an astonishing return around the world. Tolerated by Paul VI, permitted worldwide by John Paul II, declared free for everyone by Benedict XVI, and most recently put under ban once more by Francis, the Tridentine Mass remains a powerful a...
