In 1773, surrendering at last to a 20 year long campaign of intrigue and calumny, Pope Clement XIV suppressed the famous Society of Jesus, founded 200 years earlier by St. Ignatius of Loyola. Just sixteen years before the French Revolution, Europe's Catholic kings, threatening to take their countries into schism, pressured Pope Clement into destroying the strongest bulwark and the Church's most successful band of missionaries. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat lay behind this apparent act of madness? There was no popular opposition to the Jesuits, and the Kings were mainly dupes. The driving force came from the writers and thinkers of the French Enlightemnent, agnostics and atheists that included a number of Europe's leading statesman among it's members. \"Once we have destroyed the Jesuits,\" wrote Voltaire, \"we should have easy work with the Church.\" \n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe action revolves around the de Vallecas family, a distinguished Spanish family that have two sons in the Jesuit order one a missionary to the Jesuit Reductions in Paraguay, the other a novice in Spain during the efforts of suppression. This chronicle of political intrigue moves masterfully from the turbulent scenes in Madrid of the French anti-Jesuit forces battle to influence King Charles III and other Spanish leaders, to the serene setting of the Jesuit missions in Paraguay in their last days of glory and, finally, to Catherine the Great's Russia. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fidelity Books and Pieties","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45158488015129,"sku":"DTTS","price":39.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/0989\/5705\/products\/10617.jpg?v=1683201950"},{"product_id":"a-cry-of-stone-a-novel","title":"A Cry of Stone (A Novel)","description":"In this long-awaited fifth novel in his series, Children of the Last Days, Michael O'Brien explores the true meaning of poverty of spirit.

The story covers a period from 1940 to 1973, chronicling Rose's growth to womanhood, her discovery of art, her moving out into the world of cities and sophisticated cultural circles.

At the center of the controversy and chaos calmly stands Father Malachy, disdaining both the crass excesses of the world and the pusillanimous explications found even among Christians, and laying claim to the the simple saving grace of God for his wandering sheep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBrought, at long last, back into print,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eFather Malachy’s Miracle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis just as clever, comedic, and downright enjoyable as the day it first unassumingly appeared as “a heavenly story with an earthly meaning.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fidelity Books and Pieties","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52343359373593,"sku":"FMAM","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/0989\/5705\/files\/fr_malachy_s_miracle.jpg?v=1778044776"},{"product_id":"wanderings","title":"Wanderings Over the World","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePaperback, 362 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eGilbert Keith Chesterton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e needs no introduction.
