The Marian Dimension in the Apocalypse of St. John by Frits Albers

The Marian Dimension in the Apocalypse of St. John

by Frits Albers, edited by Frank Calneggia

Published in this Volume 5 of the Selected Works of Frits Albers is The Marian Dimension in the Apocalypse of St. John. This volume is the second volume of his works devoted entirely to Our Blessed Lady.

This present work on Our Blessed Lady brings to maturity the consoling doctrine: ‘that only One Church was created by God in the Image and Likeness of His Mother’. Mary is ‘the Woman of Genesis’ who, in the Incarnation, produced the Seed to Whom total victory over evil was promised. In founding a Church, Christ extended Mary’s offspring which would share in His battle as well as in His victory. Spanning a history of two thousand years, the author shows with accomplished skill that during that time span only one Church retained the glorious title of being totally Marian.

If only one Church will ultimately be victorious over ‘The Beast’, we are not left wondering which Church that will be.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Frits Albers Ph. B (1921-2000) was born in Holland and studied under the Jesuits at Nijmegen during the 1940s. He emigrated to Australia in 1951, and travelled extensively within the south-east region of the ‘lucky country’. He joined the Department of Education in Victoria and worked as a high school teacher who specialised in mathematics, French and English.

In the early post Vatican II period he realised that the strange interpretations of the recently concluded Council that were being forced upon Catholics were under pinned by the same philosophy he had been taught in the 1940’s by the Jesuits at Nijmegen in the name of St Thomas Aquinas, but which in reality was the systematic Modernism of Pierre Teilhard De Chardin, S.J. Thus, in the early 1970’s he began writing articles and books to expose the philosophical root of these errors and aberrations of Teilhard De Chardin, and to defend Catholic Faith, clear thinking, and right philosophy.

ABOUT THE EDITOR

The editor is a retired electrical engineer who worked for most of his professional career in the specialist area of power generation. In a sabbatical year, he completed post graduate research in the History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Melbourne. He has long loved the philosophy of St Thomas Aquinas.

Selected Works of Frits Albers, Volume 4: Bound to the Virgin, The Victimhood of Our Blessed Lady, The Glories of the New Eve

by Frits Albers, edited by Frank Calneggia

Published in this present volume are three of the principal works of Frits Albers devoted to Our Blessed Lady.

Bound to the Virgin presents the True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary of St. Louis De Montfort from the perspectives of human reason and Catholic Faith.
The Victimhood of Our Blessed Lady is a short but profound treatise on the Mariology of the Second Vatican Council and the Dogmatic Definition of the Assumption which shortly preceded the Council.
The Glories of the New Eve is a guided study of the Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament where the Woman who is the Immaculate Conception is manifested under the aspect of created wisdom.

Written with a critical eye for the religious and socio-political deceptions of our age this volume will instruct, encourage and strengthen those who study and mediate upon it, and who put its principles into practise. It will bring them closer to their spiritual Mother, the Mother of the Church, the Woman of Genesis who received from the beginning the mission and power to crush the serpent’s head.

TESTIMONIALS

“I welcome the appearance of Vol 4 of the writings of Frits Albers. To tell the truth, I would find it difficult to believe that a modern Catholic theologian of the highest order could have produced such a marvellous work on the Mother of God. But, then again, the author is evidently a person of deep if simple Catholic Faith, to whom is often granted insight into divine and human wisdom that is beyond the reach of many a modern Catholic theologian. Though myself a Catholic philosopher who has spent years of study of the teaching of the Church’s Common Doctor (Teacher) Saint Thomas Aquinas, I have gained more understanding of my Catholic Faith from this volume of Frits Albers than from any other that I can remember. It is such a shame that his discussion of the Mother of God and her relation to the Trinity and the Catholic Church was not widely publicised when he wrote them. They are in scriptural terms “pure gold”. I could support what I say in many ways, but it is better that readers find such by themselves, to their own great instruction in the Faith. I will make only a few comments. First of all, there is the wonderful exposition of the beauty of the doctrine concerning the various roles of the Virgin Mary, exalted because firmly based on quotations from Scripture, the Magisterium and saints such as St. Louis de Montfort. This in itself would make the work worthy of profound study. But, then, there is the critical side of the discussion that goes into the deceptions that abound in recent times, especially since Vatican II and in its interpretation. The author’s incisive mind in this regard goes back to his early education in Holland under Jesuits supposed to be teaching Aquinas, and extends to his experience after he migrated to Australia in his late 20’s or early 30’s. His critique of what passed for Catholic education from that time is devastating. This may explain why his work was not widely disseminated for so long. One may observe, however, that things have not improved but gotten infinitely worse. The smoke of Satan’s deceptiveness was perhaps not noticed by others early in the piece. It has now come out in all its brazenness and pride that it is celebrated within the aisles of St. Peter’s in Rome itself. That is a side of the present volume that many I am sure will find a medicine too difficult to take, so much to their dis-ease. My advice to them is swallow your pride and you will find a new joie de vivre, even in this seemingly negative respect. The whole volume is a joy to read.” – Dr. Donald Boland, author of a 12-volume series on St. Thomas Aquinas and a 6-volume series on various modern-day thinkers and events

Apologia Pro Sancta Maria Mater Pulchrae Dilectionis: Mother of the Church (Mater Ecclesiae), Book I

Apologia Pro Sancta Maria–Mater Pulchrae Dilectionis (Mother of Fair Love): Mater Ecclesiae (Mother of the Church), Book 1

by Joseph P. Michael, Th.D.

The author offers the Church something that the Church does not currently possess, namely a comprehensive, multi-faceted treatment of the subject of Maria, Mater Ecclesiae, arguing that Mary was divinely predestined to be Mother of the Church from the dawn of creation. The book is both persuasive and provocative, potentially troublesome for those who remain indifferent to the Virgin Mother’s participation in Christ’s mission of redemption. The inquiry spans the intellectual spectrum, on one hand clarifying terminology for the purposes of catechetical and ecumenical dialogue, on the other hand providing voluminous authoritative references that call upon various theologians, philosophers, Saints, Doctors of the Church and scripture passages that are seemingly difficult to refute.

At the heart of this investigation lies the existential reality of Mary’s maternal charity and the understanding of love as a reciprocal relationship between Mary and her adopted children. It is the mutual nature of love that spawns the idea that this Marian doctrine may benefit ecumenical dialogue and evangelization by appealing both to the heart and the importance of loving one another. But perhaps the most potentially contentious aspect of this investigation lies in the argument that as the doctrine relies on the principle of mutual love for one another, it becomes abundantly clear that love and devotion for the Virgin Mother becomes necessary if one aspires to eternal happiness.

RAISON D’ÊTRE

Written in 1859, Charles Dicken’s opening lines of a Tale of Two Cities are as timeless as they are prophetic, as relevant to society during the French Revolution and the Age of Enlightenment as they are to the rampant dissonance and darkness that threatens to engulf the present-day modern world. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”

This work is as much a passionate apology to the Virgin Mother for mankind’s attitude of indifference to her wisdom and counsel where she has repeatedly warned of an ever-increasing vortex of darkness and immorality, of wars and of conflict and division as it is a scholarly investigation that proposes a series of rational arguments justifying another Marian dogma. The book is, at its very core, both a fervent and a rational appeal to ecclesiastical authorities and all who believe in Christ to reconsider the importance of the Marian doctrine of Mary, Mother of the Church that, if it were to be formally promulgated, holds the promise of a renaissance of Marian devotion, renewed hope for Christian unity and victories over the powers and principalities in their spiritual warfare with both believers and non-believers alike.

TESTIMONIALS

“In this book, Dr. Joseph P. Michael explores the deeper meaning of Mary as Mother of the Church. He shows that Mary’s bond of mutual love with the members of the Mystical Body of Christ is part of God’s eternal plan. Drawing upon Scripture, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Louis de Montfort and Catholic thinkers such as Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange, OP and Dietrich von Hildebrand, Dr. Michael shows how devotion to Mary is necessary for the members of the Church according to God’s will. This book is more than a theological exploration. It is a sustained meditation on the Virgin Mary as the Mother of Fair Love.” – Robert Fastiggi, Ph.D. Professor of Dogmatic Theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit and member of the Pontifical International Marian Academy

“Since the Second Vatican Council, we have seen very few works of theology of this sort, especially in Mariology. The author did something not seen in this area – he took for granted the truth and clarity of previous Church teaching and used these sources as if they were TRUE. As the generations of Catholic theologians tempted by Enlightenment cynicism pass into history, being replaced by more humble authors who mine the Scriptures and Catholic Tradition for the coherent treasures therein without standing in judgment of the truths of the Church, may we receive more works of this sort.” – from the “Introduction,” Fr. Gregory J. Lockwood, Christ the King Parish, Kansas City, MO

“The arguments presented provide the Church with a comprehensive treatment of the subject that, thus far, is otherwise lacking on the topic. I am confident that the conclusion that a Fifth Marian dogma for Mater Ecclesiae should be seriously considered by the Church will arouse a healthy debate among scholars.” – Rev. Randy Soto, STL, STD, Sacred Scripture scholar

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Joseph P. Michael holds two degrees in the applied sciences, two post-graduate degrees in Catholic theology and a doctorate (Th.D.) in Mariology, this following a long career as a business consultant serving the needs of the sick and elderly.

by Joseph P. Michael, Th.D., with a foreword by Fr. Edward Looney

This work tackles another Marian topic that was left unresolved at the conclusion of Second Vatican Council, namely, Mary’s mediation of the grace of the sacraments. This work is partly apologetic, partly catechetical but mostly theological. The inquiry also identifies departures from Catholic teaching by non-Catholic Christian denominations which may serve the interests of the Church’s efforts directed to Christian unity and Catholic evangelization. In a slight departure from accepted scholarly approaches to systematic theology, this investigation introduces the mystical revelations of the Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich and the Venerable Sister Mary of Agreda in support of the argument that Mary mediates the grace of the sacraments ex opere operantis, helping to make a person more disposed to the worthy reception of the sacraments of charity so they become living sacraments of love.

TESTIMONIALS

“This work offers the Church not only a theological explanation for an unresolved question that posed a conundrum for theologians at the Council but also a powerful reminder of the importance of Marian devotion, of the power of Mary’s mediation and of loving one another as a remedy to the difficult challenges facing the Church, a remedy which I heartedly endorse.” – from the foreword by Fr. Edward Looney, President Emeritus of the Mariological Society of America

“Joseph P. Michael’s text offers the reader a rich opportunity to reflect on the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Mediator of All Grace, especially in the sacraments. He does so in a manner consistent with the rich Tradition of the Church, Thomistic theology, and the Magisterium. It is a rich treasure of wisdom.” – Rev. John P.

Apologia Pro Sancta Maria–Mater Pulchrae Dilectionis (Mother of Fair Love): Mater Mysticae Civitatis Dei (Mother of the Mystical City of God), Book 3

by Joseph P. Michael, Th.D.

Mystical theology is a science that examines the intimate relationship between the soul and God, a relationship that is manifested in prayer, contemplation of the divine mysteries and private revelation where the soul is presented with the privileged opportunity to engage in a dialogue with the Incarnate God and the Virgin Mother. This mystical dialogue is both doctrinal and meditative, both speculative and practical.

Book III of this series delves deeper into the mystical relationship between the Virgin Mother and these extraordinary visionaries and living sacraments of charity. In this particular instance, this work examines the mystical dialogue between the Venerable Sister Mary of Agreda and Christ and His Mother as recorded in Mistica Ciudad de Dios, a text that enjoys the approbations of Popes Innocent XI, Alexander VIII, Clement IX and Benedict XIII as well as the Bishop of Ratisbon, the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, the Bishop of Tarazona and the Bishop of Fort Wayne, Indiana who authorize its reading with reverential prudence and good judgment.

It is the expectation that this careful examination of the text using the Lectio Divina method of discernment will provide further illumination of the truths of Catholic doctrine thus providing scholars and theologians with new lines of theological inquiry into the mysteries of the faith and topics related to Mary’s participation in God’s plan of salvation.
