The Catholic Church is the longest-enduring institution in the world. Beginning with the first Christians and continuing in our present day, the Church has been planted in every nation on earth. The Catholic Church claims Jesus Christ himself as her founder, and in spite of heresy from within and hostility from without, she remains in the twenty-first century the steadfast guardian of belief in his life, death, and resurrection. The teachings and redemptive works of Jesus as told in the Gospels are expressed by the Church in a coherent and consistent body of doctrine, the likes of which cannot be found in any other Christian body. The history of the Catholic Church is long, complicated, and fascinating, and in this book it is expertly and ably told by historian James Hitchcock. As in the parable of Christ about the weeds that were sown in a field of wheat, evil and good have grown together in the Church from the start, as Hitchcock honestly records. He brings before us the many characters-some noble, some notorious-who have left an indelible mark on the Church, while never losing sight of the saints, who have given living testimony to the salvific power of Christ in every age. This ambitious work is comprehensive in its scope and in incisive in its understanding, a valuable addition to any school or home library. James Hitchcock, Ph. D., is a longtime professor of history at St. Louis University, which he attended as an undergraduate. He received his masters and doctorate degrees from Princeton University and has authored several books, including The Supreme Court and Religion in American Life; The Recovery of the Sacred; What Is Secular Humanism; and Catholicism and Modernity: Confrontation or Capitulation? 584 pages.

I ordered and received my St. Anthony "Send Me Help" medal on the date promised. It is a replacement for one I wore for 45+ years. I am very pleased that it is exactly the same. Thank you,

I read Mirjana Soldo's book, My Heart Will Triumph. I can hardly put it down. Mirjana's real life experiences and visions of Our Blessed Mother come alive! I feel closer to our Heavenly Mother through this book.

I want to take a moment to thank the Catholic Shop for their impeccable service and prompt responses. There was a minor issue with one of the bracelets I ordered and it became a non-issue instantly. I was so pleasantly surprised and so happy and received a replacement within days with NO hassles. I have received MANY compliments on my bracelets...
