Description
"The principle purpose of The Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World is to deal, from the theological, philosophical and historical standpoint, with the modern revolt against the divine plan for the organization of human society.
"Dr. Fahey deals at length with the various errors and the various forces which at present menace the divinely-constituted social order. His work is a most important one. Perhaps never before, since the establishment of Christianity, has there been such an organized effort to overthrow it, to dethrone Christ, to destroy His Church, to set aside God and the order which He has established. In some countries, notably Russia, Mexico, and Spain, the veil of secrecy has been withdrawn; in many others the same Masonic and Communistic influences are at work, but their activities are to a large extent underground.
"An essential prerequisite for a proper preparation (to defend the Church) is a knowledge of the nature and extent of the menace, of the organization of the forces behind it, and of the diabolical hatred of Christianity and of everything supernatural with which these forces are imbued. This knowledge is to be found in Dr. Fahey's work; in fact nowhere else, as far as we know, is there such a logical, co-ordinated treatment of the subject. A notable feature of the work is its excellent documentation.
"A little effort will be required to grasp fully all Dr. Fahey's points, but we can assure the reader that he will be amply rewarded for the labour which he expends. We hope the book will be as widely read as it deserves." - Extract from the Prefatory Letter by the Most Rev. J. Kinane, DD, DCL, Bishop of Waterford and Lismore.
The Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World
"Readers, who are not only not enlightened but ever bewildered by the Press, will be enabled, thanks to this book, to learn what is behind present-day events, and what relation they bear to the real struggle going on in the world for and against our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
"It is inevitable that Dr. Fahey's thesis should be misunderstood. To take one point in particular. Dr. Fahey insists upon the obvious truths that the crucifixion of our Lord, on the part of the Jewish Nation, was not only the rejection of the supernatural Messias, but the affirmation of the determination to prepare for the coming of a natural Messias and to elaborate a programme for that purpose. This programme is, by the very necessity of the oneness of the world, anti-Christian and anti-supernatural. Dr. Fahey takes examples from the contemporary history to illustrate the anti-supernatural character of Jewish activity everywhere. The examples are meant merely to illustrate the working out of the preparations of the new messianic age involving inevitably the disappearance of what we call Christian civilization. Forgetfulness of the oneness of the Divine Plan for the world and ignorance of the Jewish determination to prepare for a messianic age here below have led some critics to speak of Dr. Fahey's excessive desire to discover Jewish intrigue." - The Irish Catholic.
