Paperback. Condizione: Good. We are living in an era whose atmosphere is saturated with the flames of hatred. It is an age of violence whose tempo of disruption is so rapidly escalating that there is scarcely a city anywhere in the world where humans can be assured of normal, physical security."So wrote visionary bestselling author Fr. Vincent Miceli, S.J., whose classic book Roots of Violence breaks open the philosophical roots of violence from a Christian perspective. What is the taproot that is causing the metastasizing delirium for violence we're seeing today? It is the attack against God. It is hatred of truth.The refusal to serve God was the rallying cry Satan used to incite violence and rebellion among the angels as they stood trial in the vestibule of Heaven. Miceli explains that Christ Himself testified that this "father of lies was a murderer from the beginning," thus making the connection between hatred of truth and lust for violence. Christ warned the Pharisees that men who reject God's plan for their salvation are destined to imitate Satan's deeds.In these gripping pages, Fr. Miceli reveals: How we are living in the Age of the Persistent LieThe fundamental aspect of violence that must be identified to conquer its plagueThe greatest lie of all -- and how you can refute itFive elements that constitute the nature of violence per St. Thomas AquinasWhat is really behind the metaphysics of murder (Can you guess?)Two ways modern violence is different from historical violenceThe connection between avarice, which causes other vices, and violenceTwo crimes that warrant God's vengeance against individuals and groupsFr. Miceli further lays out for you how Nietzsche was the prophet who foresaw and foretold the coming of the beast of violence. Indeed, he heralded its greatest commandment, whose faithful practice would create a society of savages. "The time has come," he wrote, "to oppose morality with immorality, to call what priests call good, evil, and what they call evil, good. The time has come for the transvaluation of all values."Drawing from shocking examples of violence from biblical to recent times, Fr. Miceli describes the significance of these events in light of truth and reason and explains how Christians should respond. You will find the seven conditions for a just war, the difference between violence and terrorism, an appendix with excerpts from St. John Paul II's writings on violence, and more.…

"In war it is necessary, not just to have adequate forces for attack and defense, but also to study the enemy's past and present strategy and tactics. This is staff work, for which, in the everlasting Holy War against the devil, The Antichrist is a masterly text book, telling us the order of battle in past campaigns, briefing us on the disposition of forces and the terrain in the present line-up, and preparing us for the forays and battles that lie ahead. That a crucial campaign is already upon us cannot be doubted. I thank God that there are priests and teachers like Fr. Miceli to act as His intelligence officer and ensure that the soldiers of Christ may know who are their enemies, however camouflaged, and where are the booby-traps and ambushes, and take heart in the knowledge that, seemingly out-numbered and out-gunned as they may be, with God on their side victory at last is certain." - from the Foreword by Malcolm Muggeridge. "In The Antichrist, Fr. Vincent P. Miceli attempts to relate the prophecy of the Antichrist to the major disaster of our times - the nightmare, admitted by all now, of the world wide collapse of Christianity. Three modern popes - Pius X, Paul VI and John Paul II - have speculated on the possible presence among us of "the man of sin," even as they fought to turn back the ever-advancing darkness of satanic nihilism. Has St. Paul's prophecy concerning the coming of the "general apostasy," as prelude to the lawless one's arrival, been fulfilled in our generation? Has the fall of the three major messianic utopias - the American dream, the Socialist welfare fantasy, the Marxist revolutionary paradise - produced the sufficiently goddless, disillusioned, diseased womb of society from which "the lord of this world" will be born? Fr. Miceli traces the Antichrist prophecy through the Old and New Testaments, through Greek and Latin Fathers, through medieval thought and relates his startling findings to the decadence of our civilization. Fr. Miceli studies some of the false prophets in history who are the precursors, shadows, portents of the coming climax of evil to be incarnated in the person of the false Messiah, the Antichrist. He explores the modern phenomenon of the presence of mini-Antichrists within the Mystical Body of Christ who work as demolition squads to bring down this marvelous edifice of God. In a final, most interesting chapter, "Mary and the Antichrist," Fr. Miceli attempts to harmoniously close the circle of salvation history by portraying the Woman's, the Child's and the Serpent's roles in the drama of salvation from the beginning to the end of time. Satan's victory in the seduction of Eve, the connivance of Adam, the imposition of death on the children of men is brought to a frenzied climax in the Antichrist's final assault on Mary and her children in and outside the Church through the instruments of eroticism, violence, organized terrorism, legalized abortion and universal war. But Mary, the Prophetess of the last days, cooperates today more openly and publicly with her glorious Son and her persecuted children to defeat the Antichrist and crush forever his kingdom of darkness." - from the inner front cover.…
