The Roots of Violence
We are living in an era whose atmosphere is saturated with the flames of hatred. It is an age of violence whose tempo of disruption is so rapidly escalating that there is scarcely a city anywhere in the world where humans can be assured of normal, physical security. Nietzsche is the prophet who foresaw and foretold the coming of the beast of violence. Indeed, he proclaimed its greatest commandment whose faithful practice would create a society of savages. "The time has come," he wrote, "to oppose morality with immorality, to call what priests call good, evil and what they call evil, good. The time has come for the transvaluation of all values."3 In these pages, Fr. Vincent Miceli unveils the...
The Gods of Atheism
Working Description: An excellent overview of the Enlightenment theologians/philosophers and how they try to get us to deny God's existence, why different forms and/or philosophies of atheism still involve some 'higher power' or deified ideal of perfection. This eye-opening book provides a detailed overview of the Enlightenment theologians and philosophers and their attempt to get us to deny God's existence. Fr. Miceli demonstrates that atheism's vigor arises from its creation of mythical gods in place of the true God. When the atheist has a spiritual posture against God he is simultaneously posturing in preference for some other Being above God. As he dismisses the true God he is welcoming his New God. Why must this be so? Because every personal commitment of man presupposes, deep in the metaphysical core of his being, a hunger for being and goodness. The aim of this work is to indicate that the great sin of contemporary atheism is that it consists, through a sustained act of Supreme Self-Will, a narcissistic adoration and love of himself.
Architects of the Culture of Death
The phrase, ""the Culture of Death"", is bandied about as a catch-all term that covers abortion, euthanasia and other attacks on the sanctity of life. In Architects of the Culture of Death, authors Donald DeMarco and Benjamin Wiker expose the Culture of Death as an intentional and malevolent ideology promoted by influential thinkers who specifically attack Christian morality's core belief in the sanctity of human life and the existence of man's immortal soul. In scholarly, yet reader-friendly prose, DeMarco and Wiker examine the roots of the Culture of Death by introducing 23 of its architects, including Ayn Rand, Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Jean-Paul Sartre, Alfred Kinsey, Margaret Sanger, Jack Kevorkian, and Peter Singer. Still, this is not a book without hope. If the Culture of Death rests on a fragmented view of the person and an eclipse of God, the future of the Culture of Life relies on an understanding and restoration of the human being as a person, and the rediscovery of a benevolent God. The personalism of John Paul II is an illuminating thread that runs through Architects, serving as a hopeful antidote.

Confession of a Catholic
Eighteen years after Vatican II, this preeminent Catholic author called to account the values and policy of the Catholic church, reevaluating some of the changes that he helped to effect and the impact of these changes on American Catholic life.

The Engineering Project
We all live our daily lives surrounded by the products of technology that make what we do simpler, faster, and more efficient. These are benefits we often just take for granted. But at the same time, as these products disburden us of unwanted tasks that consumed much time and effort in earlier eras, many of them also leave us more disengaged from our natural and even human surroundings. It is the task of what Gene Moriarty calls focal engineering to create products that will achieve a balance between disburdenment and engagement: &“How much disburdenment will be appropriate while still permitting an engagement that enriches one&’s life, elevates the spirit, and calls forth a good life in...
The Truth about Clergy Sexual Abuse
This work unpacks the history and root causes of the clergy sex abuse scandals in the United States. Building on decades of data and research, author Bill Donohue, who holds a doctorate in sociology, tells the story from a fresh angle and calls us to rethink our assumptions about the Church''s handling of these horrific abuses. The Truth about Clergy Sexual Abuse challenges many myths about the scandals, demonstrating that the abuse of minors is a problem that haunts virtually every institution—religious and secular—where adults interact with young people. The work also provides compelling evidence of the great progress that the Church has made in preventing abuse, contrary to public per...
Introduction to Theology
In this book an attempt is made to defend monotheism, particularly the Christian form of it, over against the other 'isms' such as deism, atheism, pantheism and polytheism. In doing so the author explains that the truth is a paradox of different aspects, which we tend to feel as a tension from which we want to break free. And this sets the stage for all kinds of untruth. They form even double and triple breaks away from the truth as the golden mean, the biblical happy medium; without a compromise, let it be noted, on the right or on the left. Secondly several sections are devoted to the role of revelation. It is argued that revelation and creation go hand in hand. And in this also theology plays a role.
