Overview

What did Cardinal Newman see that nobody else did, 150 years ago? The answer: Signs of the End Times, which he recounted in four masterful sermons. In these sermons, together with an introduction by the late Fr. Vincent Miceli, S.J., Cardinal Newman: warned about innovators within the Church who would relax not only Christian moral norms, but our forms of worship; cautioned against anti-authority ideologies, which by now have overtaken virtually all of the Western world; noted the developing conditions for the open denial of God and routine blaspheming of Christ; and compared ancient ransacking of churches with prophecies of future anti-Christian rage and persecution. Fr. Miceli's Introduction takes us step by step through Newman's discourses. The combined essays are now for the first time available between the covers of one readable book. Newman's Powerful Sermons: The Times of Antichrist; The Religion of Antichrist; The City of Antichrist; and The Persecution of Antichrist.
