Marian Therese Horvat

This book is a compilation of what was taught in Catholic schools pre-Vatican II that have been translated and updated to our times. Nothing in this book is out dated. The manners and etiquette taught in these chapters are not just exterior manifestations of manners but interior. And help make you who you are. A person of dignity. These are the lessons I was taught by the nuns, sometimes emphasized with the aid if a ruler, when I was in elementary school.

Marian T. Horvat exposes the principle falsehoods in the book The Da Vinci Code. Shows the historical errors and blatant fabrications in this work of fiction. Gives Catholics all the ammunition they need to refute its sophisms. A clear demonstration of the anti-Catholic bias of the author.

Here is written an explanation of the true nature of the Crusades and a defense of the heroic defenders of the Church against the absurd criticisms and misunderstandings of today.

This book discusses the traditions that constituted the Catholic family of old. We read of the customs and practices that can be applied to your family even today. She explains based on traditions how to build and maintain continuity and stability in a family for generations. We also read where Dr. Horvat comments on Msgr. Henri Delassus' classic work, The Spirit of the Family, and reproduces a timely chapter from it: "Paternal Authority and Maternal Piety."
