Dangers to the Faith: Recognizing Catholicism’s 21st Century Opponents
Dangers to the Faith: Recognizing Catholicism’s 21st Century Opponents
$14.95
A storm has been brewing in society and its treatment, views, and activities toward the Catholic Faith.
Some are subtle, others are more brazen — New Age thought, questionable spirituality, “creedless” Christianity, relativism, scientific skepticism, the triumph of technology, and even the self-styled spirituality of Oprah Winfrey.
All these masquerade as “truth,” making it tough for the average Catholic to know how to resist, let alone respond.
No one is more qualified to pull back the curtain on the challenges the Catholic Church faces today than Al Kresta, popular Catholic author, speaker, and radio show host. A revert to Catholicism, Kresta is well known for his rigorous examination of topics in art, religion, academia, and business.
Dangers to the Faith: Recognizing Catholicism’s 21st Century Opponents is the perfect springboard for discussing the new world in which the Catholic Church exists today. Learn how to better carry out the missionary mandate of the Church. The question isn’t whether you will be a witness to Christ, but whether you will be an effective witness.
Familiarize yourself with the prayers of the rosary:
 Make the Sign of the Cross.
 Holding the Crucifix, say the Apostles’ Creed.
 On the first bead, say an Our Father.
 Say one Hail Mary on each of the next three beads.
 Say the Glory Be
 For each of the five decades, announce the Mystery (perhaps followed by a brief reading from Scripture) then say the Our Father.
 While fingering each of the ten beads of the decade, next say ten Hail Marys while meditating on the Mystery. Then say a Glory Be.(After finishing each decade, some say the following prayer requested by the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy.)
After saying the five decades, say the Hail, Holy Queen, followed by this dialogue and prayer: V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray: O God, whose Only Begotten Son,
by his life, Death, and Resurrection,
has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life,
grant, we beseech thee,
that while meditating on these mysteries
of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
we may imitate what they contain
and obtain what they promise,
through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
