CARDINAL JOSEPH RATZINGER
SALT OF THE EARTH: The Church at the End of the Millennium
An Interview with Peter Seewald
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, well-known Vatican prelate and head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith, gives a full-length interview to a secular journalist on a host of controversial and difficult issues
facing Catholicism and Christianity at the end of the Millennium. He responds with candor and insight,
giving answers that are often surprising and always thought-provoking on a series of wide-ranging topics
regarding the present and future state of Christianity.
Ratzinger begins by discussing his own life, including his family life, seminary studies, being a theology
professor and writer, becoming a Bishop, Cardinal, and the Pope’s top authority on doctrine as head of the
CDF. He then discusses the problems of the Catholic Church today, answering tough questions about the
Church’s position on divorce, celibacy, contraception, abortion, women’s ordination, ecumenism, etc., and
talks about the challenges and hopes of the future of the Church and the world at the beginning of the Third
Millennium.
This is a rare and powerful in-depth interview of a renowned theologian and high ranking Vatican official on
issues of critical importance for the Church and Christianity at the end of an age.

Learning to fully comprehend and love the Christian faith is necessary if we want to know true joy and happiness.

Listen To Your Blessed Mother
$14.99Mary, the mother of Jesus, is recorded minimally in Scripture. Yet her words are filled with significance and rich meaning that can easily be misunderstood or misinterpreted by untrained hearers. Have you doubted Mary’s role in God’s plan based on the words of Scripture? Would you like to understand more fully what is intended when Jesus’ reaction is unexpected in relation to his Mother?
Gary Zimak explores both the spoken and unspoken words that Mary is recorded to have said and acted upon in the gospel narratives. The Word of God reaps manifold fruits in those who hear. Are we able to listen and understand the words of Mary in Scripture with open hearts?
Our Lady is a woman of few words, but when pondering with our hearts, we begin to understand that wisdom often begins in silence.

Good Goats : Healing Our Image Of God
$5.00Why is it so important to heal our image of God? It is not so we’ll know what afterlife is like. Rather, it is because we become like the God we adore. We must understand God’s love and grace first and foremost, and in turn we will be able to love other people with grace. Studies have shown that this is true in many aspects of our lives. In marriage, for example, the more a couple experiences God as a lover, the more likely they are to enjoy a wholesome, loving marriage.

Bridging the Great Divide: Musings of a Post-Liberal, Post-Conservative Evangelical Catholic represents a pivotal moment in the life of the Catholic community. As the Church seeks to maintain its unique witness, nurture the faithful, and evangelize, a new generation of American Catholics has emerged. No longer the “next generation,” these new leaders came of age after the Second Vatican Council and, like many others, no longer find compelling the battles between the liberals and conservatives throughout the post-conciliar period.Today’s faithful are searching for an expression of Catholic Christianity that is vibrant, colorful, provocative, counter-cultural, deeply rooted in the tradition, and full of the promise of the Good News. In this timely and prophetic book, Father Robert Barron–himself a member of the younger generation–has minted a new vernacular and blazed a new way that goes bridges the great divide and gives voice to the concerns of post-liberal, post-conservative, evangelical believers.
