This book accessibly explores the phenomenon of internalized
homonegativity among same gender loving Black men who love other
men, providing practical tools to help therapists identify the
underlying motivations for their clients' feelings. Written from
personal and clinical experience, P. Ryan Grant defines
internalized homonegativity as the negative thoughts felt by a
person due to their same gender loving identity. The book's
introduction provides a backdrop of the developmental experiences
Black same gender loving men often encounter and connects
theoretical concepts with qualitative Black same gender loving male
experiences. Chapters then explore the contextual consequences of
internalized homonegativity and educate readers on how conditioned
shame and anxiety relating to these factors alter mental health and
functioning in various spaces. The final part of the book presents
therapeutic techniques based on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT),
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment
therapy (ACT) to assist readers in helping clients to navigate a
homonegative world. This book is essential reading for sex
therapists, educators, students, and sexuality professionals who
are looking for resources on working with Black same gender loving
male clients, as well as those occupations seeking to create
programs for Black same gender loving men. It will also be a
helpful resource for Black same gender loving men seeking to live
value-based lives.
Born about the year AD 200, Thascus Caecillius Cyprianus was the
scion of an ancient and noble Roman family living in North Africa.
A convert to Christianity in mid-life, Cyprian was acclaimed bishop
of Carthage during a time of intense Empire-wide persecution by the
Roman imperial authorities under the emperor Decius. In the twelve
year span between his conversion and his martyrdom in AD 258 during
the reign of Valerian, Cyprian wrote some of the most important
foundational documents of the ante-Nicene Church. This volume
contains the entirety of Saint Cyprian's writing--13 treatises and
all of his correspondence, 82 letters in all. It also includes "The
Life and Passion of Saint Cyprian" by his companion, Pontius the
Deacon, as well as the minutes of the Seventh Council of Carthage
over which Cyprian presided. His writings encompass the major
issues of his day including the Roman persecutions, the unity of
the Church, dealing with those who renounced the faith under threat
from the state (the lapsi), the Novatian heresy and the rebaptism
controversy. His correspondents included the most illustrious men
of the early Latin Church, including three Popes--Cornelius,
Stephen I, and Sixtus II. Read and cited frequently by theologians
down through the ages, Saint Cyprian's writings are of surpassing
authority and were considered works of genius "brighter than the
sun" by Saint Jerome. Aside from their obvious ecclesiastical
import, the works of Cyprian also offer a detailed and unique
glimpse into Roman society at the height of the anti-Christian
persecutions and demonstrate the growth and struggles of the early
Church during a time of intense external political pressure. Based
on the translation originally published as part of The Ante-Nicene
Fathers 1885], this new edition includes a new introduction,
updated commentary, an updated bibliography, and several new
appendices including "The Quotable Cyprian."

"The fact that even after Vatican II authors repeatedly referred to
Franzelin meant that the work of Franzelin himself must be studied
in depth in order to make any claim that one has done the proper
research to speak with any authority on the topic of Tradition."
-Fr. Chad Ripperger, PhD Cardinal Franzelin was a peritus at the
First Vatican Council, and was made a Cardinal by Bl. Pope Pius IX.
He was also an expert in Hebrew and a lecturer in Chaldean and
Syriac. His lectures and theological writings held first place in
the Roman Theological scene of his day. In 26 Theses, Cardinal
Franzelin challenges the Protestant notion that Tradition is
opposed to Scripture, by a direct analysis of the establishment of
a living magisterium in Scripture, and the witness to this
magisterium given by the Fathers of the Church and all Christian
ages.
St. Robert Bellarmine's work in defense of the saints, their place
in heaven, their canonization and veneration, etc., ranks like all
of his works among the classical works of Catholic Theology. In
this work, Bellarmine meets the attack of Protestantism against
Catholic teaching on the saints, firstly on their own ground with
sound Scriptural Exegesis, backed up by the witness of the Greek
and Latin Church. The great counter-reformation doctor begins the
work with a treatise on whether the souls of the saints receive a
particular judgment and go to heaven or await for the end of time
suspended as it were in some hidden place; then what canonization
is, who does it and what is its authority; then lastly, whether the
saints may be venerated and invoked.
St. Alphonsus Liguori s Moral Theology has long been praised and
held in the highest regard by the Church, covering every moral
question of his day. This first ever English translation features

divination, worshiping demons, blasphemy, oaths, vows, and when
they are binding; when you must go to Mass and abstain from work,
as well as considerations on the fourth commandment in regard to
obedience, the fifth in terms of murder, just war and abortion, and
in the 6th, adultery and the various sins against chastity.
