What should Catholics think about the New Rite of the Mass in the language of the people? What should we think about the Latin Mass now being granted by Benedict XVI, following in the foot steps of John Paul II? What should we think about the assembly in Assisi, which is justified by the Vatican II? Do Moslems worship the same God as Catholics? In 1958 the Catholic Church had not been plagued with an Antipope for over a half a millennium. And then Pope Pius XII died and Angelo Roncalli took the name and number of the claimants to the papacy from the Western Schism, John XXIII. Like the first...

"Ubi Petrus Ibi Ecclesia" Where Peter is, there is the Church. Jesus founded the Catholic Church on the rock, Peter, the first Pope. Many powers were given to Peter, which are transmitted to his successors until the end of time. Theologians consider these prerogatives of the Pope an essential part of the Catholic Church. Remove any of these attributes of the Pope, and the Papacy ceases to truly exist. The Pope, as Bishop of Rome is not merely the first among equals, but the head of the Catholic Church. In fact, the Church would not truly be Catholic and Apostolic without a visible head. The...

Many consider there will be a great event in 2012, because the Mayan calendar ends in December. The Coming Chastisement and Why It Will Come was originally written in 1992 and updated recently to consider the chastisement God will soon punish us with for all of our sins. Students of Catholic prophecy know that there will come an extremely evil time that will give birth to Antichrist. Following this will come a great chastisement by Almighty God in the form of Three Days of Darkness. In reviewing this work for republication, evil has gotten far worse than it was when this was originally...

THIS small volume of Father Sebastian Bowden's Spiritual Teachings is published partly as a tribute to his memory from those who revered and loved him, and partly in the hope of keeping that memory alive in men's thoughts-in these days of quick forgetfulness-longer than it might otherwise be kept. The "Counsels and Dissertations" which form the greater portion of the volume are taken from notes, kept for many years by people who had the privilege of the well-known Oratorian's spiritual guidance. They consist of personal counsels given, answers to questions asked, or opinions on various...

At the end of the Fifth Age of the Church, the Church of Sardis of Apocalypse 3, the Age of Apostasy, the Mystical Body of Christ will undergo Its Passion just as Jesus Christ did beginning at eight in the evening on Holy Thursday, continuing through to His Crucifixion at noon on Good Friday. In history Scripture predicts that a time will come when people will have itching ears and not endure sound doctrine. "I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed." The Sheep, the eleven Apostles all scattered soon after this, just as the Bishops deserted the Mystical Body of Christ at...

This was originally written and published as an ebook in early 2005. One person wrote the original draft and three people edited it before final publication. The latter have asked not to be named to remain humble, although it was offered to them to include their names. This ebook was downloaded thousands of times with the request to make any necessary corrections. Over the years, two corrections were offered and made. Both were technical issues. One was a mistake in a footnote, the other a missing phrase from a prayer. No one has offered a substantial correction to this work. The only...
