Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Fiction and nonfiction books and movies speculate about end-of-the-world scenarios, proposing a rogue's gallery of corrupt leaders and a host of chilling, apocalyptic theories. Disillusioned by the crippled state of our Church and our world, people are increasingly placing faith in prophecies that claim to know details and dates about upcoming chastisements. Will the "final confrontation" include unprecedented bloodshed or the subtle trickery of seduction (or both)? Have the current intellectual, political, and sexual "liberation" movements - including within the Church - created the platform required for the Antichrist to emerge? In an age of diabolical disorientation, this captivating book provides much-needed clarity on relevant biblical prophecies - from Old Testament times to St. Paul and Revelation - and writings of early Church Fathers and Doctors of the Church, including Sts. Augustine, Gregory the Great, Jerome, and Thomas Aquinas. This prescient book will enlighten you on whether there is more than one Antichrist, the types of leaders and societies that Cardinal Newman believed would be forerunners of the Antichrist, and how long the Antichrist will reign. You will also explore the Church's teaching on millenarianism and the prospect that the reign of the Antichrist is drawing closer. A valuable and timely resource, this book will aid you in understanding views on the Antichrist through history and how they are linked to predictions about the end of the world, the Second Coming of Christ, the role of false prophets, and the devices the evil one uses to cultivate apostasy. You will also discover: What the persecution of the Antichrist will entail and events foretelling his coming, How to avoid being deceived by the Antichrist, The significance of sacrilege, idolatry, and the "abomination of desolation", The consequences of attacks on the Holy Eucharist, the Sacred Liturgy, and the Blessed Mother, The correlation (if any) between Rome and the Antichrist, How contemporary heresies, occultism, and immorality plant the seeds for evil Book jacket.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 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."So wrote visionary bestselling author Fr. Vincent Miceli, S.J., whose classic book Roots of Violence breaks open the philosophical roots of violence from a Christian perspective. What is the taproot that is causing the metastasizing delirium for violence we're seeing today? It is the attack against God. It is hatred of truth.The refusal to serve God was the rallying cry Satan used to incite violence and rebellion among the angels as they stood trial in the vestibule of Heaven. Miceli explains that Christ Himself testified that this "father of lies was a murderer from the beginning," thus making the connection between hatred of truth and lust for violence. Christ warned the Pharisees that men who reject God's plan for their salvation are destined to imitate Satan's deeds.In these gripping pages, Fr. Miceli reveals: How we are living in the Age of the Persistent LieThe fundamental aspect of violence that must be identified to conquer its plagueThe greatest lie of all -- and how you can refute itFive elements that constitute the nature of violence per St. Thomas AquinasWhat is really behind the metaphysics of murder (Can you guess?)Two ways modern violence is different from historical violenceThe connection between avarice, which causes other vices, and violenceTwo crimes that warrant God's vengeance against individuals and groupsFr. Miceli further lays out for you how Nietzsche was the prophet who foresaw and foretold the coming of the beast of violence. Indeed, he heralded 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."Drawing from shocking examples of violence from biblical to recent times, Fr. Miceli describes the significance of these events in light of truth and reason and explains how Christians should respond. You will find the seven conditions for a just war, the difference between violence and terrorism, an appendix with excerpts from St. John Paul II's writings on violence, and more.…
