Fr Gabriele Amorth
The Official Biography of the Pope’s Exorcist
Domenico Agasso

Although the world knows him only as an exorcist, he was so much more. His profound prayer life, his simplicity, his love for poverty, his sense of humour, his fearlessness, his friendship with many saints, and his esteemed love for Our Lady set him apart. Because of Our Lady’s protection, he once declared, “I always say that it is the devil who is afraid of me.”   Here, you will find the remarkable story of this spiritual son of Saint Padre Pio who became the most renowned exorcist of the last century, a warrior for Christ. “Those who knew him, already consider him a saint.”

How the Eucharist Can Save Civilization
R. Jared Staudt, PhD

Only the Holy Eucharist, which built the great culture of Christendom, can both renew and save our secular culture by infusing it with beauty, festivity, community, and charity.
