Without strong catechesis, even faithful Catholics can falter in understanding and living out Church teaching. Drawing from the insights of modern popes and the example of great saints, this accessible volume lays out the foundations of the Faith with clarity and conviction. It provides essential guidance on true catechesis, warns of widespread spiritual confusion, and calls readers—especially parents, priests, and educators—to reclaim their duty to form souls in truth and virtue.

Fr. Mike draws a parallel between the symbols in the book of Revelation and the persecution by the Roman empire of the first Christians and encourages us to hold firm in our faith. Additionally, Fr. Mike reveals the beauty of the new covenant priesthood established by Jesus and explained in Hebrews. Today’s readings are Revelation 15-17, Hebrews 5-8, and Proverbs 31:23-25.

The Building of Christendom, 324-1100 is the second volume in The History of Christendom series. This series is the only in-print, comprehensive narration of Western history written from an orthodox Catholic perspective. How would a historical narrative read if the author began with the first principles that truth exists and the Incarnation happened? This series is essential reading for those who consider the West worth defending.
