| Like a roller coaster ride, life is filled with stomach-wrenching drops, dips, and sudden curves. But there is an upside to being down: God, who works in and through our troubles and never abandons us to disaster, provides a well-engineered superstructure and a carefully planned set of tracks and guardrails. Even when the ride is too hectic, unsettling, and twisted for us to sense His support and guidance, He is still there. This book is about learning to trust in God's work and provisions as the divine superstructure underneath every trial. When we understand the ultimate purpose behind our suffering, we will be willing to stay on board. |

| The author of the perennial best-seller, Catholicism and Fundamentalism , presents here, not so much a sequel, as a supplement to the first groundbreaking work. In the first book, Keating gave a panoramic view of the attack on "Romanism" by "Bible Christians", highlighting prominent anti-Catholic individuals and organizations and discussing at length controverted doctrines. Here he presents snapshots, individualized portraits"some larger, some smaller"of arguments and people opposed to the Catholic faith. "In The Usual Suspects , Karl Keating gives us a most unusual book. Through a series of careful examinations of arguments against the Church, Keating establishes the veracity and unfolds the sincerity of the Church in dialogue with those who would question both. For those who seek not only the roots but the responses to voices against the Faith, Keating's book is a treasure." "John Cardinal O'Connor , Archbishop of New York "Karl Keating leaps once more into the breach with his characteristic clarity. He performs the knightly service of defensor fidei with vigor and just enough oomph to knock swords from hands while leaving the challenger himself unharmed and (one hopes) open to more reasonable conversation in the future. For us ordinary lay Catholics, Usual Suspects is just what the doctor ordered." "Mark P. Shea , author, By What Authority? "I was greatly helped in my own conversion to the Catholic Church by Karl Keating's first book, and now he has graced us again. As the nation's premier apologist, Karl Keating analyzes and explains a wide variety of apologetical issues. Karl's analysis of the opponents of the Catholic Church are both insightful and charitable." "Stephen K. Ray , Author, Upon This Rock |

| The discrediting of Communism as a world ideology also put in crisis a certain way of writing history. That is why, a half-century after the end of World War II, the search is on for a fresh look. The European intellectual class is dismayed and disoriented. Their world, so dependent on Marxist-Leninist ideas, collapsed around them. In the United States writers never took the measure, ideologically, of the war. Rather, they allowed others to introduce Marxist-Leninist interpretations. The legacy is a massive load of manipulated history with a more or less hidden agenda. One of the victims of this process was the Catholic Church, specifically the Vatican and the Pope. Fr. Robert Graham illustrates with chapter and verse how the Communist interpretation grievously corrupted the record. Communism and its sister ideology, National Socialism, had this in common: a radical and venomous hostility to religion. It is time for cleaning up the fallout of the defunct ideologies of World War II. The perpetrators of this tenacious campaign of anti-Catholic propaganda were not merely men of Moscow but also their allies and sympathizers abroad. The material developed here is from studies published by Graham over the years in the Rome-based fortnightly La Civilta Cattolica , which was based on research in the Vatican archives and in official archives of Europe and the United States. Robert A. Graham, S.J. , is a Jesuit priest who has written widely on the Church's role during World War II including three other books on the topic. |

| The Vatican, the home of the Pope and one of mankind's holiest shrines, measures just 108 acres and sits in the heart of Rome. It is considered one of the world's smallest and most powerful nations. Few are aware of the behind-the-scenes influence of the Vatican on the destiny of Europe, including the collapse of Soviet Communism. Though smaller than the U.S. Capitol grounds, with no natural resources or industry, and protected by 200 guards armed with Medieval weapons, this tiny city has played a pivotal role in shaping global history for over 2,000 years. Take a tour of the Vatican's most famous sites such as St. Peter's Basilica and see the final masterpiece of Michelangelo, with rare footage of areas normally off limits. Includes provocative interviews with scholars and journalists, Vatican Revealed provides a candid look at this awesome seat of power. |
