January 2010—Opening the New Year: “Fr. Lucian Pulvermacher OFM dead at 91” is the news of a traditional pioneer’s death. It is a sad sign of the confusion of our times that he took the name “Pope Pius XIII” after a very questionable election when he was 80-years old. He later re-named himself “Pope Peter II.” John Francis Borra writes, “Homosexual marriage and the further erosion of constitutional guarantees”. A vile billboard  posted by an Anglican church is censored by the public. On page 2, the editorial is entitled, “When the lights came on.” The Fathers Radecki cover The Second Council of Nicaea in their abridged version of the Tumultuous Times.

June 2009: “It’s an open secret—The Vatican is betraying the underground Church in China,” by Thomas Chapman.  Chapman, himself, has traveled in secret to Beijing and met with members of the underground Church. St. Anthony of Padua is the featured saint of the month, and shows the basilica where he is buried, now a Conciliar church. Fr. Meramo is ousted from the SSPX and explains why he will not join the Vatican II Church. It must be borne in mind that he is at the crux of a personal conflict: He has not yet taken a sedevacantist stance, but condemns the Church of which Benedict is head. June’s editorial, “Our Gethsemane: In fear of our losses,” looks at death and our worst fears. The final segment of Tumultuous Times begins: “The radical changes of Vatican II have hurled many unsuspecting Catholics into a new church that has the semblance of Catholicism but lacks many of its essential elements.” John Lane’s book, The Church Crucified, continues with Unity. John Daly’s “The Impossible Crisis” discusses the traits of the true Church. Fr. Brendan Hughes continues his article on the necessarily infallible Church. Stephen Heiner’s “Sustainable Living” is rich with his unique and creative perspective on the mundane basics. The shooting of abortionist George Tiller is one of several news stories. And more…

Product Info

 

Each download is marked according to its contents. A number of issues are grouped together.

 

It’s possible, when reading the older digital issues of The Four Marks, that your computer may not have a particular headline font and revert to your default font. If that happens, the headline may not fit completely into the text box. This only affects  headlines. But, should you wish to, in such cases, you can change the default to another smaller font.
