Following the release of their 2012 best-seller Petrus Romanus: The
Final Pope Is Here, Tom Horn and Cris Putnam were inundated with
invitations from around the world to be interviewed on radio,
television, and in print media. These included segments in The
History Channel's "Countdown to Apocalypse," a special feature on
Canada's largest Christian channel VisionTV titled "I Prophesy: The
Apocalypse Series," invitations to Rome to discuss with Italian
media their findings on Rene Thibaut (a Belgian Jesuit whose
meticulous analysis of the Prophecy of the Popes predicted the
arrival of Petrus Romanus in this era), and dozens more. But during
a show on Omega Man Radio the author's disclosed an
"extraterrestrial" connection between Petrus Romanus, the Vatican,
and the Mount Graham Observatory, which rocketed that program into
the #1 position in the world, illustrating to the authors that
modern civilization is more than casually interested not only in
the final pope, but in the connection between Rome and their secret
work on extraterrestrial intelligence, astrobiology, and the
intriguing preparations they are making for the arrival of an alien
'savior.' Thus, the new investigation began and quickly resulted in
findings far more disturbing than the authors expected to find.

assimilate mankind under a coming 'savior, ' one whom the prophet
Daniel foresaw as "an alien god."
George Pell is the most recognisable face of the Australian
Catholic Church. He was the Ballarat boy with the film-star looks
who studied at Oxford and rose through the ranks to become the
Vatican's indispensable 'Treasurer'. As an outspoken defender of
church orthodoxy, 'Big George's' ascendancy within the clergy was
remarkable and seemingly unstoppable. The Royal Commission into
Institutional Responses to Child Abuse has brought to light
horrific stories about sexual abuse of the most vulnerable and
provoked public anger at the extent of the cover-up. George Pell
has always portrayed himself as the first man in the Church to
tackle the problem. But questions about what the Cardinal knew, and
when, have persisted. The nation's most prominent Catholic is now
the subject of a police investigation into allegations spanning
decades that he too abused children. Louise Milligan is the only
Australian journalist who has been privy to the most intimate
stories of complainants. She pieces together a series of disturbing
pictures of the Cardinal's knowledge and his actions, many of which
are being told here for the first time. Conspiracy or cover-up?
Cardinal uncovers uncomfortable truths about a culture of sexual
entitlement, abuse of trust and how ambition can silence evil.
Servant of God Nicholas Black Elk (1863-1950) is popularly
celebrated for his fascinating spiritual life. How could one man,
one deeply spiritual man, serve as both a traditional Oglala Lakota
medicine man and a Roman Catholic catechist and mystic? How did
these two spiritual and cultural identities enrich his prayer life?
How did his commitment to God, understood through his Lakota and
Catholic communities, shape his understanding of how to be in the
world? To fully understand the depth of Black Elk's life-long
spiritual quest requires a deep appreciation of his life story. He
witnessed devastation on the battlefields of Little Bighorn and the
Massacre at Wounded Knee, but also extravagance while performing
for Queen Victoria as a member of "Buffalo Bill" Cody's Wild West
Show. Widowed by his first wife, he remarried and raised eight
children. Black Elk's spiritual visions granted him wisdom and
healing insight beginning in his childhood, but he grew
progressively physically blind in his adult years. These stories,
and countless more, offer insight into this extraordinary man whose
cause for canonization is now underway at the Vatican.
The Catholic Church has always recognized that philosophy is
necessary both to understand the faith as well as to defend it. The
need for a philosophically informed faith has become more acute
with the rise of secularism. Seat of Wisdom demonstrates that the
philosophical principles developed in the Catholic tradition,
especially as articulated in Thomism, provide the intellectual
foundation for belief in God and are also the only reliable basis
for a fully coherent vision of man's place in the world. Seat of
Wisdom begins with an exploration of the relationship between faith
and reason. Philosophy's essential role is to discover the rational
principles underlying the intelligible order of reality. These
principles act as a bridge connecting science and religious faith,
enabling the believer to integrate all facets of human experience.
Each of those first principles, as expressed in the transcendental
properties, are then analyzed as the basis of the major
philosophical disciplines. Starting with metaphysics' study of
being, the argument proceeds to consider the true, the good, and
the beautiful in terms of epistemology, anthropology, ethics,
aesthetics, and political philosophy. Lastly, these principles are
shown to point to God as creator. The strength of the Catholic
philosophical tradition is evident when contrasted with reductive
theories which fail to account for the breadth of human experience.
Consequently, each chapter will introduce influential philosophers
whose inadequate theories inform contemporary assumptions. Against
this, the Thomistic argument is elucidated as being inclusive of
the insights of the reductive position. It will be seen that this
"both/and" approach is the only way to do justice to the glory of
God and the gift of creation. Religion is prey to skepticism when
it is isolated from the rest of knowledge. This integrative
argument, uniting discussions of nature, politics, and theology
according to common principles, enables the reader to grasp the
unity of wisdom. Moreover, by engaging alternative positions, it
provides the reader with tools to defend the Catholic worldview
against those reductive philosophies which only deprive life of its
full meaning.
