Close the Workshop by Peter Kwasniewski
In this sharp, unapologetic book, Kwasniewski argues that the liturgical “workshop” mentality—perpetual tinkering with rites—has produced a Mass that is structurally unstable and theologically attenuated. No amount of incense, Latin, or clever rubric-tweaking, he contends, can overcome foundational design flaws in the postconciliar rite.
The Pathway to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by Fr. Robert I. Bradley
What is the surest way to prepare for Heaven while still living on earth? For fifty-eight years of priestly ministry, Fr. Robert I. Bradley, S.J., taught that the heart of the Christian life is to live in union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus—to belong to Him, dwell in His love, and allow that love to transform every aspect of our lives. The doorway into this intimate relationship is the Holy Eucharist, whether received at Mass or encountered in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Drawing on a lifetime of prayer, pastoral experience, and spiritual direction, Fr. Bradley developed a practical Rule of Life that can be adapted to any vocation or state in life. The road is not easy, but it leads to the greatest of all destinations: a life lived in Christ now, and eternal life with Him hereafter.
Shall He Find Faith on the Earth? by Abbé Claude Barthe
Sixty years after the Second Vatican Council, Claude Barthe revisits the decisive moment that reshaped the modern Catholic Church. He argues that the Council, marked by ambiguities and a non-dogmatic approach, opened the door to theological pluralism and the relativism that characterizes the Church’s present crisis. Placing Vatican II within a broader historical arc—from the Church’s confrontation with the legacy of the French Revolution to the modernist crisis—Barthe offers a critical contribution to the ongoing reassessment of the Council and its consequences.
