Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Conspiracies and secret societies exist because man, wounded by Original Sin, is inclined to evil and his social nature leads him to unite with other men in carrying out evil plans. With typical precision, historian Roberto de Mattei navigates us through this gloomy labyrinth of evil amid congiure, conspiracies, and plots -- terms often used as synonyms but which, through their semantic and conceptual differences, can each assist us in understanding better the hidden dimension of the history of the past five centuries.While the Italian term congiure indicates secret agreements limited to a few people and aimed at killing a sovereign or a political leader, often in the context of a power struggle, conspiracies are projects with a much broader scope that seek to overthrow the constituted order. The golden age of congiure and political assassinations runs from the poisons of the Renaissance to the 1700s. Then, with the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, an age opened in which the traditional congiure was bolstered by the development of conspiracies of an ideological and political character.The plot, on the other hand, is an elusive, hidden agglomerate of which neither the identity of the protagonists nor the concrete operative means are revealed. Professor de Mattei posits that the contemporary plotting spirit we see today -- from the Aquarius conspiracy, to the Great Reset, to the virus pandemic -- has nothing to do with the study of anti-Christian secret societies, which has always been part of historiography and Catholic apologetics but, in fact, plays into the hands of those intent on the psychological, intellectual, and moral destabilization of the West. In these fascinating pages, you will discover: Whether socio-psychological criteria are enough to formulate a conspiracy theory What famous political minds such as Niccolo Machiavelli believed about conspiracies How fabrications of plots by individuals such as Catherine de' Medici led to bloodshed The cruelest epoch in history and its aftershocks in the schemes of secret societies The role of the occult in plots and conspiracies, and its relationship with revolution Solutions to avoid becoming lost in the matrix of evil and lies in modernityUltimately, you will find how to differentiate between true and false plots and to discern how some conspiracies lead to heresy and insidiously attempt to destroy Christianity. By reading this book, you will be equipping yourself to challenge and overcome the dark errors of our times.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This fascinating work on the life and times of Cardinal Merry del Val from renowned historian Roberto de Mattei provides a first-ever, in-depth look at the remarkable life of a Servant of God who served four popes. Spanish by birth, English by education, Cardinal del Val studied in Rome, entering in 1885, by the will of Leo XIII, the Pontifical Academy of Ecclesiastical Nobles. From then until his death, for a span of forty-five years, Merry del Val lived essentially in the Vatican, at the service of four popes (Leo XIII, Pius X, Benedict XV, and Pius XI). Secretary of the conclave that elected Pope St. Pius X, he was appointed by him, at just thirty-eight years old, secretary of state and cardinal. For eleven years, he stood by Pius X, through all the difficult trials of his pontificate, beginning with the battle against Modernism. Under Benedict XV, he was secretary of the Holy Office, a role he continued to hold under Pius XI. In the conclaves of 1914 and 1922, he himself came close to being elected pope. A veil of mystery still surrounds his death, which occurred in Rome on February 26, 1930. His beatification process was opened on February 26, 1953, by the will of Pius XII, and he was proclaimed Servant of God. In this sweeping life story, you will see how, through it all, Cardinal del Val remained a model of virtue, leading by example in obedience, fidelity, and devotion. The book describes: How he became a monsignor even before being ordained a priest His determined efforts to revive Catholicism in England His rich spiritual life and his composing of the renowned Litany of Humility His holiness, which led numerous souls to conversion, sometimes through the celebration of one Mass How he escaped an ambush at the hands of the Freemasons Theories on his possible assassination Even in turbulent times, amid anticlerical violence, war, and personal attacks, Cardinal del Val remained the epitome of humility. Whether drafting papal documents, mediating tense religious and political situations, sending consequential encoded telegrams, or defending the teachings of the Church, he lived a life of asceticism and mysticism and steadfastly preserved the truth.
