Trojan Horse in the City of God: The Catholic Crisis Explained

Dietrich von Hildebrand is perhaps the greatest Catholic philosopher of the twentieth century. This book written shortly after the conclusion of the Vatican II Council was a prophetic warning on the undermining of the Church from within. It is amazing now, over thirty years later; almost everything the author warned us about has come to pass. Even the official Vatican newspaper in 1970 urged all Catholics to read this book. But as we now know thanks to hindsight, all of its warnings went unheeded. With extremely clear and concise writing we are lead to see the root causes of this crisis in the Church. The tendency of our bishops to misinterpret the vague writings of the Vatican II Council and lead us away from the previous legalism that was becoming pervasive to a radical swing to the progressive Catholicism we have today which is leading most away from true Catholic faith. The secularism that runs rampant in the new progressive Catholic Church is accomplishing what many schisms and opponents of the Church were never ever to successfully do. The author is able to expound upon the causes of the destructive trends that are afflicting the Church without being derisive of any individual. It is still not too late to save what really matters to Catholics, our Faith. Read this book, hand a copy to every pastor you know and with the love of faith we can all help to restore the holiness of the Church. The author tries to remind us on what was and should be important to Catholics. This book is required reading for all Catholics.
