This protracted state of confusion and injustice, plain for all to see, has shaken the faith of millions. Far from being just another diatribe, these absorbing pages provide a deeply illuminating historical perspective, revealing how this chaotic period in the Church is hardly unprecedented — or unpredicted. Instead, it represents a recurring feature of life in the Church throughout her history and is even a part of the divine plan. With this context, you will be able to make sense of and discover solutions to our present suffering.
You will learn:
- When to obey — and when to disobey — a priest or bishop;
- How several saints were purified and sanctified by unholy superiors
- What not to do when responding to the crisis of persecution in the Church
- How Christ both predicted and prefigured the sufferings of His Church at the hands of wicked prelates
- Practical ways you can respond and share the truth
- Achievable means to embolden your faith and remain obedient while correcting error
- How to talk to non-Catholics about the pandemic of filth and error in the Church
- You will see how eleven of the greatest Catholics in history — canonized saints all — suffered from undeserved persecution by their superiors and even betrayal by clergy and how this suffering was part of their sanctification,
- Serving as a heroic model for us today. You will contemplate the valor and wisdom of priests from the earliest days of the Church;
- Of lay people from St. Joan of Arc to St. Thomas More;
- Of religious, such as Sts. Teresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, and Alphonsus Liguori;
- And of modern-day giants, including St. Padre Pio and Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.
As you travel with these remarkable characters across twenty centuries and four continents, you will see the wisdom of the divine plan and be encouraged to defend the Church through this present hour of darkness.
Additionally, you will find thorough and orthodox explanations of doctrine concerning Church authority, fraternal correction, and the virtue of obedience, as well as a practical plan to redeem our current shameful chapter in Church history. This book stands as a valuable and heartening resource for pastors, catechists, and those who seek to “counsel the doubtful” and “comfort the afflicted.”
