101 Questions & Answers on the Eucharist

By Fr. Giles Dimock, OP.

Fr. Dimock, who has taught for 40 years, answers some of the most commonly asked questions about the Eucharist which have been posed to him in his preaching and teaching. He begins with questions on the Jewish background of the Eucharist, and then examines the Last Supper, transubstantiation, sacrifice, the Real Presence, intercommunion, and many other relevant topics.

The questions range from the straightforward “Why is the Eucharist called Holy Communion?” to “What is Forty Hours?” and the more involved, “What is said about the Eucharist in the Code of Canon Law?” Fr. Dimock culls the teaching of the Church on the Eucharist from conciliar and papal documents. Will satisfy the spiritual as well as the theological curiosity of college students, seminarians, and interested lay people.

Fr. Giles Dimock, OP, holds an STL in liturgy from Sant’Anselmo, Rome, and an STD from the Angelicum, Rome. He has taught at the Angelicum, the Josephinum, Franciscan University of Steubenville, and the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC. He is the author of numerous articles and books, and is a member of the Society of Catholic Liturgy and Fellowship of Catholic Scholars.

Love letters are always very special, but to receive such a letter from a preborn child, telling us how much God means to her, to us, and to the world is truly something special. Baby Margaret Mary is fi lled with the kind of good news and blessing that I know will one day bring America to the point of rejecting every single act of abortion out of love for children, born and preborn. I am honored to have been asked to read it.

In Vitro Fertilization - Why Not?
What the Churches about IVF

While more and more couples are marrying later in life, infertility, even among younger couples, is on the rise. Many infertile couples seek out, or are offered, in vitro fertilization.

Explains clearly why IVF is not only a sin but also harmful to marriage, family and society. Also explores moral procedures which are much safer and more effective than IVF.

The Story of Benedict XVI for Young People

By Claire Jordan Mohan.

Children need to know their new Pope not only as a great man of God but as he was, a child and a teenager like themselves. Growing up in Germany was for Joseph Ratzinger both a peaceful and a dangerous time. He had the inner peace and stability of a devout Catholic family life, but all around this family the evils of Nazism and World War II raged. The family lived under this threat and had to struggle to remain Catholic in an anti-Catholic state. In the midst of this, Joseph found his vocation and suffered persecution because of his decision to become a Catholic priest. Contains quotations from Benedict XVI, chronology, and glossary.

Light of the Nations

By Fr. Brian Mullady, OP.

Scott Hahn says, “Fr. Mullady offers a readable and rock-solidly reliable treatment of what is surely the most important – and debated – subject in contemporary Catholic theology. His approach to the doctrine of the Church (ecclesiology) demonstrates the profound consistency and coherence of the Magisterium’s teaching, as it draws from biblical and patristic sources and develops from the medieval to the modern period, culminating in Vatican II’s Dogmatic Constitution on the Church (Lumen Gentium). In the process, Fr. Mullady applies a ‘hermeneutic of continuity’ to show the deep convergence of Vatican I and Vatican II (no small feat!). Along the way, readers gain a renewed sense of the indispensable role of classical Thomism for doing Catholic theology – with precision, fidelity and flexibility.”

“The Compendium, which I now present to the Universal Church, is a faithful and sure synthesis of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It contains, in concise form, all the essential and fundamental elements of the Church’s faith, thus constituting, as my Predecessor had wished, a kind of vademecum which allows believers and non-believers alike to behold the entire panorama of the Catholic faith. In its structure, contents and language, the Compendium faithfully reflects the Catechism of the Catholic Church ....

“I entrust this Compendium above all to the entire Church and, in particular, to every Christian, in order that it may awaken in the Church of the third millennium renewed zeal for evangelization and education in the faith, which ought to characterize every community in the Church and every Christian believer, regardless of age or nationality.” A must-have for every faithful Catholic! Concise summary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church in 598 questions and answers. Contains 2 appendices: prayers every Catholic should know in Latin and English, and formulas of Catholic doctrine. Illustrated in color.
