Paradox it is at the very heart of the Gospel message. The Trinity, the Incarnation, the Cross and Resurrection, and the problem of evil are but a few examples of paradoxes of faith and reason. How can God be three in one? How can God be man? How can Jesus who is “the life” die on a Cross? How can we hold that God exists and is good when there is so much suffering in the world? This book seeks to resolve questions such as these, which can cause the would-be believer to reject the faith and even the most devout of believers to stumble into perplexity.

“Dr. Shalina Stilley’s book about paradoxes in the Catholic faith is brilliant! I highly recommend it as a gift you could give to both faithful and doubting Catholics alike, illuminating, as it does, areas of the faith that may be puzzling. Written in a clear, concrete style, it is what I call ‘theology for everyone.'” – Dr. Ronda Chervin is a professor of philosophy, writer of numerous Catholic books and a Catholic Media Presenter

In Rise and Fall of the American Empire, Dr. Richard Bishirjian writes that the country that was new in 1789, when its Constitutional order was ratified, no longer exists and that the Constitution intended to order and organize American politics has been challenged to a breaking point. Though specialists have observed the growth in power of the American presidency since the Great Depression, the first sign of an “imperial” Office of the President became visible on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Where before our Presidents were chosen to execute the powers of office, JFK’s assassination revealed that Americans had begun to seek Emperors to represent the imperial nation in history. Dr. Richard Bishirjian’s historical analysis walks us from a time when Americans consented to be governed in a limited Republic to the present day when Americans are ruled by an administrative state composed of unelected experts.

This book unties the philosophical knot of Dr Tracey Rowland’s assertions concerning the natural moral law, Faith and reason, nature and grace. To lay bare every bend and twist of this knot and refute Dr Rowland’s assertions, Frank Calneggia has quoted extensively from two Vatican Councils; Pope Benedict XVI and seven of his predecessors; St Thomas Aquinas; and a number of the very best twentieth century Thomists.
“I used selected extracts from Frank Calneggia’s analysis and critique of Dr. Tracey Rowland’s book Natural Law: from Neo-Thomism to Nuptial Mysticism in an appendix to my recent book Natural Law – Australian Style. Readers now have the distinct advantage of reading the full text of his work. In it, one will see how thoroughgoing his analysis and critique is. I felt the need only to extract his powerful responses to points made in the early part of his work, which are numbered 1 to 21. In fact, as may be seen on reading his work, he goes on to respond in quite amazing detail to another 130. The popes, especially of recent times, now over a period of more than a hundred and forty years, have endorsed the need for Catholic academics to use our human reason to propound and defend the Natural Moral Law. What I found most impressive in Calneggia’s responses are the number and depth of detail of citations from magisterial documents that he was able to bring to bear in direct refutation of the position of Rowland on Natural Law, and most significantly citations from Pope Benedict XVI, whose work Rowland should know well as she has herself written a book on him. Though Calneggia covers many other significant aspects of her position on Natural Law, that aspect of his response is quite devastating. But, more generally, if it only succeeds in bringing to the attention, not just of modern Catholics but also of all people amenable to reason, what is the true position of the Church on the meaning and place of the Natural Law in the defence of Faith and Morals, this work will in my view prove to be one of the most valuable contributions on the subject.” – Donald G Boland, author of Natural Law – Australian Style

“En su libro, el Peregrino Pródigo, Peter Breen se enfoca en la crisis del medio ambiente. Señala el pensamiento del Papa Benedicto XVI – mencionado por el Papa Francisco – en que sería necesaria la intervención divina para superar esta problemática. Breen, en una serie de cartas a Francisco, recurre a declaraciones del Papa Benedicto para concluir – de manera fascinante – que esta intervención ya se ha producido a través de los mensajes de la Virgen en Lourdes, Fátima, Garabandal y Medjugorie.” – Dra. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson, Profesora de Teología Dogmática, Colegio y Seminario de los Santos Apóstoles
“El Peregrino Pródigo envuelve al lector en un conflicto cautivador; el impulso hacia la incredulidad, por un lado, y, por el otro, la devoción generada por la fe. Algunos pueden leer el Peregrino Pródigo como una versión de Disenso Leal de Charles E Curran. En la introducción del libro, Peter Breen confiesa ser un católico practicante con una crisis de fe en la Iglesia, derivada de razones que van más allá de los escándalos sexuales del clero. A través de un confesionario enrejado, Breen hace una apasionada súplica al Papa para que reconozca los milagros de Medjugorje. Lleva al lector y también al Pontífice, en una peregrinación a los lugares de las apariciones de Nuestra Señora: Lourdes, Fátima, Garabandal y Medjugorje, fomentando la devoción a María como profeta de nuestro tiempo. María, la Madre de Jesús, se presenta como la que ofrece al mundo un salvavidas. La forma epistolar en la que el autor expresa su mezcla de fe y disidencia, es inusual. Podría haber sonrisas y ceño fruncido en lo que algunos pueden considerar como la mejilla del autor al escribir una serie de cartas personales al Santo Padre Francisco, dirigidas como el Padre Jorge Bergoglio; cartas que comienzan con un querido Padre Jorge, como si fuera un párroco. Es una lectura atractiva; una invitación a creer ante los baches intelectuales. Ofrece al católico disidente, pero leal, un lugar en el que podemos llamar, después de Breen, la peregrinación pródiga.” – Ivan Arthur, autor de Saynt Lachmi y Pavement Prayers
