Interviewed by French television circa 1978, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, founder of the Society of St. Pius X, said the following:
"Since the Second Vatican Council the deposit of the faith has not been preserved."
". . . commitment to ecumenism means one can longer tell where the border between truth and error lies."
On Religious Liberty: ". . . there is no such thing as a natural or God-given right to err."
"But the fundamental unity between Church and State is a unity desired by God."
Something Missing in Medjugorje
Although warning of major chastisements for mankind's sins, in 30 years of public "messages" there is no specific condemnation at all of abortion, divorce, homosexuality or other grievous sins of our era.
Instead, 30 years of generalities.

My book about St. Padre Pio is now in an exciting new second edition. Published by TAN Books and Publishers, it also has a new title, Padre Pio and America. Another new feature is a large photo section, including many in color. The first edition was entitled The Holy Man on the Mountain.
On July 5, 2008, the Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat were conferred on Padre Pio and America by Bishop Michael A. Saltarelli of the Diocese of Wilmington, and the by the diocesan Censor Librorum Rev. Leonard B. Klein.
The heart of this unique biography consists of interviews with American GI's who climbed the Gargano Mountain during W.W.II, in order to meet the stigmatized saint. Contains the complete story of the "Flying Monk" miracle. Also includes chapters on people close to Padre Pio and/or who made him known in this country, such as American heiress Mary Pyle, Fr. Joseph Pius, Joe Peluso, Joe Peterson, William Carrigan, Mario Bruschi, Charles Mandina, Vera Calandra (National Centre for Padre Pio), Marge and Joe Spada (Padre Pio Foundation), and many others.
A very limited number of copies of the first edition of the book are available. This edition, titled The Holy Man on the Mountain, was published by Aventine Press. Autographed copies of this first edition, or of the new edition, may be obtained. If you wish to inquire about an autographed copy, please send me an emal.

| Olinto De Pretto and E=mc2 In 1903, two years before Albert Einstein published his 1905 paper with the formula E=mc2, the formula was presented at a meeting of scientists in Italy by Olinto De Pretto, who discovered it. Recent research has shown that it is quite probable that Einstein was aware of De Pretto's work, since Einstein was fluent in Italian and studied the writings of contemporary Italian scientists. Here is a link to the article from the "Guardian" from November, 1999. Largely because of this formula, Einstein is considered by some to be 'man of the century". Quoted below is a translated excerpt from the Italian magazine Gente, issue of Dec. 2, 1999, p. 82: "There can be no doubts, the proofs are incontestable", affirms professor Bartocci. "Olinto De Pretto put into writing the most famous formula of our century in 1903, in a work entitled Ipotese sell'etere nella vita dell'universo, which was officially presented on November 29 of that year to the Royal Scientific Institute of Veneto. The news did not pass unobserved, and aroused the interest of the great astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli. The paper of Olinto De Pretto was included in a small volume on February 2 of the next year, 1904, with a preface by Schiaparelli, that was published by the Royal Institute..."

The greatest, most widely disseminated, and most popular science fiction story of all time is the theory of evolution. The main so-called 'mechanism of evolution', natural selection, has been shown to often work against the theory of evolution. For example, a bird's wings (or flying reptile's) have to be perfectly designed for them to function. A prototype wing, that couldn't really bring flight, would have no reason to be 'selected' for further development. In fact, it would make the animal more likely to be encumbered and a prey to other animals. (In Intelligent Design theory this is the concept of "irreducible complexity," coined by Michael Behe in his book "Darwin's Black Box." That is, all the parts of certain structures have to be present and fully developed before the structure can function. ) Therefore today scientists are searching for some other mechanism of evolution, so far unsuccessfully. They cannot solve the riddle of proteins and DNA. Proteins are highly complex structures whose growth and development are controlled by DNA. But the formation of DNA itself requires proteins. Then how could proteins 'evolve' unless there was DNA present. But the DNA cannot develop unless proteins are present. Neither could come first because they both need each other. At best only one in ten thousand genetic mutations is not harmful. Genetic changes due to mutations therefore could not account for an improvement in the species, but actually would cause it's "de-volution", since negative carryovers far outweigh the positive. Why is the teaching that evolution is a proven fact dangerous? "It has been shown in the material outlined earlier that belief in evolution is a common denominator of Nazism, Communism, Secular Humanism, Existentialism and Modernism. Thus it enables those belief systems to appear 'closed', and to purport that they are a total explanation of reality..." (p. 361). "If, through the influence of Evolution Theory, one loses sight of the fact that the basic dignity of each human being is derived from the possession of an immortal, rational soul, it is quite possible to support changes in society...which do not respect the sanctity of life and rights of human beings, both born and unborn" (p.315-6). These are just a couple of the arguments from the great book, "Creation Rediscovered", by Gerard Keane. It is available from Tan Books. I can truly say that by page 25 I was already convinced that the theory of evolution is pure science fiction. If you have any trouble believing that evolution is incompatible
with the Bible and Christianity, read this brilliant essay by Dave Root:"The Biblical
Evidence Against the Theory of Evolution" "We live by faith, not by sight." (2
Corinthians 5:7) For more info see the article: "Apes "R" Not Us" Catholics & the Debate Over Evolution. By George Sim Johnston See also the TCR article for more on evolution theory.
