In Genetic Entropy, Cornell University researcher John Sanford lifts the rug to see what Evolutionary Theory has swept under it. He shows that, not only does Darwinism not have answers for how information got into the genome, it doesn't even have answers for how it could remain there.
Genetic Entropy is a brilliant expose of the unreality of the Primary Axiom. It is written in a challenging style, yet is accessible to non-specialists having some minimal background in biology. At the same time it has sufficient substance and documentation to cause the most highly trained biologist to rethink, in a serious way, what he or she has always believed about the Primary Axiom. This book deserves to be read by every professional biologist and biology teacher in the world. It has the potential of changing the outlook of the academic world in a profound way.
Dr. Sanford is a highly qualified geneticist from a major university. He has written a tremendous book detailing compelling new genetic evidence that the human genome is deteriorating, and that it has always been deteriorating - ever since its origin. The profound implications of these findings should be obvious to any thoughtful person. This easy-to-read and wonderfully convincing little volume should be a must-read for concerned people everywhere.
Genetic Entropy provides a lucid and bold account of how the human genome is deteriorating due to the accumulation of mutations. This situation has disturbing implications for mankind's future, as well as surprising implications concerning mankind's past.
The mission of the Gustav Siewerth Academy is to overcome the contradictions between theology, philosophy and the natural sciences in relation to the truth of God, man and creation.
An apparent contradiction between theology and natural science arises from the Bible's claim that God created the world, all kinds of plants and animals, and, finally, man, as the image of Himself, out of nothing. In contrast to this, the predominant view amongst contemporary natural scientists is that everything has originated by chance, through the self-organisation of matter, in a process of 'death and becoming'.
Since natural scientists cannot demonstrate this evolutionary process in the present time experimentally, they claim that this process took place over millions of years. Therefore it is important to know whether the world, the cosmos, the plants and animals, and especially man, really came into being over these enormous periods of time.
In the Spring of 2009, 23rd February, an interesting workshop for experts in philosophy and natural science took place in Rome under the auspices of the National Research Council of Italy, entitled 'Evolutionary Theory: A Critical Analysis'. As a continuation of this important initiative, Gustav Siewerth Academy organised a follow-up conference for experts in theology, philosophy and natural science from 7th-10th September, 2009.
This conference dealt primarily with the question: "How tenable are the arguments for the evolution of man and the universe over long ages of time?"
The assembled experts demonstrated that the evolutionary arguments brought forth by the majority of contemporary scientists contradict the acknowledged Laws of Nature and, therefore, can be refuted scientifically.
Our Lord Jesus Christ promised that in the future there would be "one flock and one shepherd," and He has sent His Mother, the Holy Theotokos, to earth to show us how this unity can be achieved in our lifetime.
Heaven's Plan to restore the unity of East and West was revealed by the Holy Mother of God at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, and confirmed by the greatest public miracle since the Resurrection of Jesus.
This book, The Light Comes from the East, attempts to explain Our Lord's Fatima plan to restore the unity of His Mystical Body and attempts to show what can be done to help bring that plan to fruition.
The book is spoiled by some unfortunate ill informed and unhelpful passing comments regarding Russia's current government and her President but, nevertheless, Dr. David Allen White, Professor Emeritus of Literature at the United States Naval Academy can still write that "I highly recommend The Light Comes from the East by Mr. Hugh Owen. I found this new book revelatory and absolutely intriguing. It is, in my opinion, a brilliant, original, and clearly inspired piece of work that should be in wide circulation.
"Our Lady's requests have been too long ignored and the world is suffering as a result of that delay. I believe this work could help bring about the compliance with her requests and insure the glorious results she has promised".
As Mrs. McLaughlin and 26-year-old Mary Beirne hurried along in the rain on the night of 21st August, 1879, in the village of Knock, Ireland, they were astonished to see a silvery light and three beautiful figures outside the south gable of the parish church; next to the figures was an altar with a lamb on it. Mary Beirne recognised the three as St. Joseph, Our Lady and St. John the Evangelist; she ran home to tell her mother and family. Word spread, and soon there were fourteen adults and children gazing at the marvel. After more than an hour, the vision faded away.
When the witnesses told their story, there were many scoffers. But soon there was a remarkable cure of a twelve-year-old girl who had been stone deaf for four years, and before long there were more cures - most of them after prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary and after touching a piece of cement from the south gable of the church.
Some people were puzzled because Our Lady had not requested prayer and penance at Knock, as she had done at other apparitions. But the parish priest suggested that this may have been because the Irish had never lost the spirit of prayer and penance, having suffered so much from poverty, famine and terrible persecution for the Faith - often because they would not deny the Mass, the Sacraments, Our Lady and the Saints. Perhaps, he suggested, the remarkable apparition at Knock was a silent blessing and a reward for the centuries-long faithfulness of Catholic Ireland.
With hindsight, we can now easily understand that the apparition at Knock was a warning of things to come, with the parish church serving as a symbol of the 'official' structures of the Church - the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass would no longer (with relatively rare exceptions) be found inside the official structures but forced outside to the periphery.
One day back in the year 1846, fourteen-year-old Melanie and eleven-year-old Maximin were pasturing their flocks on a mountainside in La Salette, France, when suddenly they saw a bright light, in the midst of which was a beautiful lady - the Blessed Virgin Mary. She was seated on a rock, weeping bitterly. She told the children that people should not work on Sundays or blaspheme, and that because they did these things her Son would have to punish them with famine and disease. She then gave each of the children a secret message.
After a time, both the children wrote down their secrets to be sent to the Holy Father. The Pontiff remarked that Maximin's secret had the simplicity of a child. But after he had read Melanie's, he became grave and spoke of calamities to fall upon the Church Militant. The Pope was much impressed with the secrets; he sent word that a new church should be built at La Salette. Soon La Salette became a place of pilgrimage.
Both Maximin and Melanie were to have a difficult time for the rest of their lives, the message from Heaven was too disturbing for many men of the Church to contemplate and the messengers were greatly scorned. After some years God called home these two messengers of Our Lady - first Maximin, then later Melanie. Today there is a big church in La Salette, and a shrine in honour of Our Lady which recalls the warnings she gave to us with such sorrow and love through two shepherd children in 1846, but still the warning from Heaven goes unheeded.
An investigation into the private campaign of the Vatican Secretariat of State to conceal the words of the Virgin Mary in the Third Secret of Fatima. This book, written by Catholic lawyer Christopher Ferrara, is the first full-length examination of the grounds for rejecting Cardinal Bertone's version of the facts in the Third Secret controversy. The Cardinal's own statements, including his book and radio and television broadcasts in 2007, are shown to demonstrate beyond any doubt that a text of the Secret has been suppressed, evidently under an unjustifiable mental reservation that the text is not "authentic".
Amongst other things, the evidence presented here demonstrates that:
The Secret has two parts, as Pope Pius XII's own investigator revealed, one which contains the words of the Virgin that are not found in the published vision.
There are two different Third Secret envelopes, each bearing its own warning, in Sister Lucia's handwriting, that by "express order of Our Lady" the envelope is not to be opened before 1960.
There are two different locations for these envelopes: the Holy Office archives for one, the papal apartment for the other.
The text of the Secret was inside an outer envelope bearing dictation by Pope John XXIII and kept in the papal apartment — an envelope the Secretary of State has never produced even though he now concedes that the envelope exists.
There are two different Third Secret translations in Italian, neither of which has been made public by the Vatican.
Three different Popes since 1959 read texts of the Secret on two different dates - years apart - even though the Vatican's official explanation claims there was only a single reading by each Pope.
And yet the Catholic faithful are still being asked to believe that there is only one text of the Third Secret, and that the Virgin had nothing to say about the meaning of the ominous vision she herself confided to the Fatima seers. Whoever still believes this will have no good reason to continue believing after reading this book. And, given the absolute urgency of the Secret for every inhabitant of the planet, the case presented here should motivate Catholics and non-Catholics alike to demand that the Vatican reveal the hidden words of the Virgin to the whole world - before it is too late.
Each copy of the CD sold by Carmel Books is autographed by the acclaimed composer.
"A young composer based in England, Nicholas Wilton has previously achieved success with his disc of sacred choral music.
His music is deceptively simple. Here, in a disc dedicated to his mother and father, are eight short pieces. The accompanying commentary to the disc states modestly that this is a “short recording of a few miniatures for piano for those who might like them”. The miniatures are impeccably championed by the evidently highly musical pianist, Alexei Knupffer. The program note also openly acknowledges that Wilton wears his major influences on his sleeve, and such is the case. Chopin and Scarlatti cast the longest shadows, while Shostakovich, Beethoven and Liszt lurk in the background (sometimes in the far background).
The Waltzes speak most strongly of the influence of Chopin (the second, the F-Minor, in particular, to my ears, and the Fourth, in a hyper-melancholy C-Minor: though the ending of the latter piece, a question mark in music, points more towards the enigmantic Satie again). The Waltzes speak, also, of a gentle soul at work here, but a soul that is entirely unafraid to speak its own truth. Accusations of being derivative are inevitable, perhaps, but careful listening reveals deeper truths. The charming innocence of the opening of the third Waltz (G-Minor) is perhaps allied to the technique of emotional Rückblick that one encounters in Schumann’s Kinderszenen, and even as Wilton’s Waltz opens out emotionally, it remains overshadowed by its opening.
The only Waltz to demonstrate any real sort of assertiveness, and then briefly, is the Fifth (A flat-Minor). The final B-Minor rides the tightrope of playful and melancholy with consummate expertise, ending with a firm gesture; yet, nevertheless, we are left wanting more.
The recording is quite close, but that is not inappropriate for music of this ilk. Fascinating".
Mother Mary Elias of the Blessed Sacrament, O.C.D., 1879-1943
Elena Maria Thierry was born in Mexico in 1879 and died in 1943. She came from a noble lineage and of French descent. Elena was blessed with many gifts on the natural level, and her faith was firm and strong. Yet, as a young woman, she had no attraction for the religious life. However, she was advised by a holy priest, Padre Rosas, that God wanted her to become a Carmelite.
Initially she felt "repugnance for all she knew about Carmel, but she feared disobeying Padre Rosas", and so she persevered and soon received the Habit of Carmel and was given the religious name of Sister Mary Elias of the Blessed Sacrament.
The revolution in Mexico which erupted in 1910 lead to a terrible persecution of the Catholic Church. It was necessary for Mother Mary Elias to rescue all the religious of her convent in Aquascalientes and take them to safety in Cuba. From there to the United States, where she founded four Carmelite monasteries.
Mother Mary Elias of the Blessed Sacrament was a great soul with a great love for God. His Divine Will, was her will.... His suffering, her suffering. As she lay dying she murmured:"Poor Jesus, poor Jesus"!

To which is added a Supplement comprising an Explanation of 'The Ecclesiastical Year and the Sacred Liturgy"; Short Accounts of Certain Feasts and Brief "Lives of the Saints" contained in this Missal; a "Glossary of Liturgical Terms", with a "Description of the Symbolic Representations" and a Collection of "Communion and Other Prayers", those indulgenced in accordance with the new Raccolta.
A fine reproduction of the original 1945 text of the immortal Mass, according to the Council of Trent, with complete Latin and English text for the Ordinary and Propers of the Mass. There are no revisions, but additions made according to the Papal Decrees dating from 1945 to the end of Pope Pius XII's reign include the Mass Propers and the Divine Praise of the Assumption.
The binding is sewn with black leatherette cover and gold lettering. The pages have rounded corners and gilt edges. Complete with six coloured ribbon page markers.
These devotions and prayers include the Brown Scapular, devotion to the Infant Jesus, the Gospel of the Holy Name, the Holy Face devotion, the Brigittine rosary and prayers to St. Joseph, St. Elias and St. Albert, as well as prayers composed by St. Teresa of Avila, St. Therese of Liseaux and Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, to name just a few.
There are novenas for the principal feasts of Carmel and the Liturgical Year, including those of the Immaculate Conception, the Christmas novena to the Infant Jesus, a novena in honour of the Holy Name and many others. Plus the history of the veneration of Maria Gratiae or Our Lady of Grace or the Bowed Head, and Maria S.S. Del Carmine Detta Della Bruna, which is believed to be the first painting of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, are included.
It is therefore hoped that these precious prayers and devotions will serve as a comfort and consolation to the reader, and lead to a greater appreciation of the blessings and graces that have bestowed on the Carmelite Order through the loving intercession of our Patroness, the Blessed Virgin Mary who is Queen and Beauty of Carmel.

May Jesus and Mary bless all who use it with tender and personal devotion". - Fr. Patrick Peyton, C.S.C.
The Ordo Recitandi is the flagship production of The Saint Lawrence Press. The Ordo contains the necessary directions for those who wish to sing the Office and Mass of any day in the Liturgical Year according to the classical Roman Rite.
The Ordo details those changes which arise due to the interaction of the Temporal and Sanctoral cycles. In addition the Ordo contains detailed information concerning the celebration of the various classes of Votive Masses,e.g. Masses of External Solemnities, rubrics for the Forty Hours.
The Ordo follows the format of the Roman Ordo that was produced for the Universal Calendar in the late 1930's following the fifth editio post typicam of the Roman Missal that was promulgated by SRC in 1939.
In this new edition of the book, which has been out of print in English since it was first published in 1975, he presents shocking evidence of the Zionist grip on the governments of both America and Britain throughout the twentieth century, and especially in planning and unleashing two devastating World Wars. These facts have been thoroughly suppressed in mainstream books of History, though that is unsurprising in an age where Truth is to be found in the shadows.
In the preface Dr. E. Michael Jones writes:
"If the world had heeded Poncins in 1975, it would have been spared the disastrous series of wars for Israel in the Middle East that have been the mainstay of American foreign policy".
This study is as relevant today as ever. Not just for the historically interested, but for all those who seek to understand the real agenda behind the Perpetual Wars for Perpetual Peace and Democracy.
As many of you will know, when our founder Robin Pannell died in January 2008 he bequeathed Carmel Books to the British District of the Society of Saint Pius X.
For the past five years a stable home has been provided for Carmel Books to pursue its apostolate in an SSPX-owned property in Highclere, Hampshire, for which we offer our grateful thanks to Fr. Paul Morgan.
A review of the SSPX District's operational finances has been undertaken by its new Superior Fr. Robert Brucciani, and he explains on page 6 of the new District newsletter, Ite Missa Est, that:
"From 30th November, Carmel Books will undergo a change of ownership. For the last 5 years it has been owned by the Society of Saint Pius X and has been managed by Mr. Michael Fishwick. Following the implementation of austerity measures (see below), from 30th November, Carmel Books will be owned and run exclusively by Mr. Michael Fishwick. A new address will be advertised forthwith and business will continue as usual... and may the faithful continue to purchase good Catholic literature from Carmel Books".
As manager of the apostolate I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Fr. Brucciani for providing for the continuation of Carmel Books as an independent Catholic bookseller. In the short-term, in a practical sense, it means that Carmel Books must search for and find a suitable new base of operation and that we will have to continue with a small range of stock until a suitable property is established once again.
To this end we are pleased to announce that we will be working very closely with a Catholic charity, The Saint George Educational Trust - www.sget.info - who recently published New Mass or Traditional Mass: A question of faith and issued a pre-Vatican II reprint of A Simple Prayer Book. There are many more very necessary and useful titles to come from SGET in the coming months and years, which will be available from Carmel Books.
From St. Andrew's Day 2015, until further notice, Carmel Books can be contacted at 215 Andover House, George Yard, Andover, Hampshire, SP10 1PB.
Our email address remains the same - enquiries.carmelbooks@gmail.com - as does our website - www.carmel-books.org - and we encourage you all to refer to the Carmel Books blog every so often to learn of further developments and updates.
