Story
Some Christians decry the deism of our Founding Fathers, claiming that outright anti-Christian principles lie at the heart of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, crippling from birth our beloved republic. Here philosopher Timothy Gordon forcefully disagrees, arguing that while anti-Catholic bias kept them from admitting their reliance on Aristotle, Aquinas, and the early Jesuits, our Protestant and Enlightenment Founding Fathers secretly held Catholic views about politics and nature.

Everything needed to understand and appreciate the traditional Latin mass! Extremely informative, yet very easy to listen to! This book explains prayer by prayer, what happens at the Latin Mass and why. Why is the Mass in Latin, the use of silence, bells, specific colors, etc. - and how we participate. Reviews are very enthusiastic! Ties in beautifully with Pope Benedict XVI's motu proprio opening the door to the universal celebration of the Latin Mass.

Story
Nearly 40 years ago, Ralph Martin's best-selling A Crisis of Truth exposed the damaging trends in Catholic teaching and preaching that, combined with attacks from secular society, threatened the mission and life of the Catholic Church. While much has been done to counter false teaching over the last four decades, today the church faces even more insidious threats from outside and within. In A Church in Crisis: Pathways Forward, Martin offers a detailed look at the growing hostility to the Catholic Church and its teaching.

In 2018, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganó released an 11-page testimony that rocked the world. In it, he called out the corruption of the Church, especially with regards to its handling of the sexual abuse crisis - addressing most specifically the case of disgraced Cardinal Theodore McCarrick - and stunningly called for the resignation of Pope Francis. And then he was gone...at least physically.

Somehow, this long-discredited economic philosophy is making a comeback, not only on college campuses and political talk shows, but among sincere Catholics. Some think that it could be the answer to greed and globalism. Others even argue that it’s the best way to obey Christ’s command to help the poor. Let’s give socialism a fresh chance, they say. A democratic socialism, this time, friendly to religion and ordered to the common good like the church says the economy should be.

A prominent conservative scholar traces the post-1960s divisions between the Right and the Left, taking aim at liberals' victimization of African Americans and their failure to offer a viable way forward for American society. The United States today is hopelessly polarized; the political Right and Left have hardened into rigid and deeply antagonistic camps, preventing any sort of progress.

The hour is critical. The American republic is suffering its gravest crisis since the Civil War. Conflicts, hostility, and incivility now threaten to tear the country apart. Competing visions have led to a dangerous moment of cultural self-destruction. This is no longer politics as usual, but an era of political warfare where our enemies are not foreign adversaries, but our fellow citizens. Yet the roots of the crisis are deeper than many realize. Os Guinness argues that we face a fundamental crisis of freedom, as America's genius for freedom has become her Achilles' heel.

It took nearly two millennia for the enemies of the Catholic Church to realize they could not successfully attack the Church from the outside. Indeed, countless nemeses from Nero to Napoleon succeeded only in creating sympathy and martyrs for our Catholic Faith. That all changed in the mid-19th century, when clandestine societies populated by Modernists and Marxists hatched a plan to subvert the Catholic Church from within. Their goal: to change Her doctrine, Her liturgy, and Her mission.

Cultural observer Os Guinness argues that the American experiment in freedom is at risk. Summoning historical evidence on how democracies evolve, Guinness shows that contemporary views of freedom - most typically, a negative freedom from constraint - are unsustainable because they undermine the conditions necessary for freedom to thrive. He calls us to reconsider the audacity of sustainable freedom and what it would take to restore it.

Story
The Summa Theologica, by Thomas Aquinas, is a fundamental text in Catholic doctrine, a compendium of theology that has been studied and debated since its first publication in the 13th century. Furthermore, it has been widely regarded as one of the classics of Western philosophy, not least because, perhaps for the first time in such a systematic manner, it set out to consider the views of non-Christian figures such as Aristotle, Boethius, Muslim writers including Averroes (Ibn Rushd) and Avicenna (Ibn Sina) and the Sephardic Jewish scholar Maimonides.

In the mid-1990s, a clandestine group of high-ranking churchmen began gathering in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Opposed to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the circle plotted a revolution in stealth. By 2015, their secret ached to be told. Before an audience, Cardinal Godfried Danneels joked of being a part of a "mafia." But as explosive as Danneels's confession was, a thick cloud of mystery still enshrouds the St. Gallen mafia.

Good Information but a little weak

Publisher's Summary
What is a retrograde?
A retrograde calculates, night and day, how to return the world to:
- The old order of moral and sexual decency
- Classical masculinity
- National sovereignty and national borders
- Faith and hope and charity
- Goodness and beauty and truth
- Christian civic liberty
- And most importantly, the social kingship of Christ
In the words of Shakespeare, a retrograde is one of God’s spies.
The retrograde has the unique capacity for understanding the stark chasm between the degenerate, socialist-infiltrated world of decay on one side and the well-meaning, good-hearted, but clueless Christian world on the other.
In a time of such profound decay, being one of God’s spies is a last resort and a pure necessity: It involves not “deep cover”, - i.e., acting like the enemy - but rather “half cover”: Acting as a “contra” in the secular arena, a crypto-Christian counterinsurgent willing to fight like a Navy Seal and to think like a counterintel officer.
Retrogrades...to the streets: Our aim is to reverse the deliberate, deuced machinations of “radicals” like Saul Alinsky who, by penning the rulebook of radicalism, threw down a challenge that has, until now, gone unanswered. Rules for Retrogrades is the audiobook men of good will need to win the culture war! Here is a sampling from the call to action found within these sections:
- No truth is “off-limits”; we must never be ashamed to be candid.
- It is a damnable lie that humility disallows Christians from standing up (for what they believe) in the cultural and political forum!
- Control of language is control of thought; don’t let radicals control the language.
- Never trust a man who is unwilling to have enemies.
- Radicals form coalitions but retrogrades form fellowships.
- The root of cultural decay is feminism: End feminism to end radicalism.

The book that could have been...
...and someday may be. I suspect after a few years maturity and reflection, the authors will look back and wish they had written this differently, or even better, give it a second go. I am definitely ambivalent about this book.
POSITIVE First, I applaud the Gordon brothers for their fire-in-the-belly commitment to take the fight to the enemy. I share their Catholic faith, their frustration and their social critique (at least the ones in this book). I am greatly encouraged to see younger Catholics so zealous for their faith and for calling out the abominations of our day. I hope they are the tip of the iceberg, and that they have a following they are motivating to action. This gives me hope for the future of the Church in America, and for our culture.
Second, even though I found this book wanting in significant ways, I encourage you to read it (or listen to it.) It is short enough that its shortcomings are tolerable for the few hours it will take, and you will likely walk away with a little less film over your eyes, as I did.
NEGATIVE The book should simply have been an essay or article in an online Catholic magazine, in something like "The Catholic Gentleman." Beyond the bullet points of the "rules," it reads like the rant of a couple of fired-up college students who all too often digress into cliches and sweeping ad hominems. The only words to describe it I can think of are shallow and intellectually immature.
Perhaps this style appeals to a less informed, 20-something reader, and perhaps that was their target audience. I, however, was disappointed and would have benefitted from a more seasoned understanding and presentation.
I suspect the authors would respond that those who are seasoned are not writing these kinds of books, have dropped the ball, and so it falls on them to do their best. Fair enough, and again, I am in their corner as far as that goes and am fighting alongside them.
A final comment on the audio narrator. I have enjoyed Kevin O'Brien's narrations in the past, but those have always been fictional works where he is so good at using voice to bring out the characters in the story. Mr. O'Brien did a fine job in his narration of the prose sections. However, it was simply a bad decision (on whoever's part) to use different voices for the many quotations embedded in the book. That was very distracting and at times just silly.

As a baby boomer I had to accept the uncomfortable truth that I fit the description of our generation and for my part in it I sincerely apologize. There is a latent Retrograde lurking within me and I pray that God will send the Holy Spirit to repair my broken fatherhood so that at least one of the eight young men that call me dad will be guided to join the cause.

A Must Read for Conservatives
The only remaining path to righteousness, safety, and a healthy America is for Christian conservatives to start standing up for what they believe. We’ve shaken hands with the devil due to either a lack of interest in activism, cowardice, or attempts to gain cheap power that is never used to fight leftist radicals. Now Christian conservatives have no choice but to stand up and take back cultural territory. This is a must read and a must do.
