My Life With Thomas Aquinas by Carol Robinson. A series of essays from Integrity Magazine written from  1946 to 1956 on applying Aquinas to
modern problems. From Angelus Press. Very good and still quite relevant.

I just read a book called Escape by Carolyn Jessop about her time in the FLDS. Such an evil cult of a religion. The book made me so angry.

Of course you do!
In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

This sounds really good.
Finished A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I will be returning to that one in the years to come, for sure.

Hounds of the Lord.  Got it from the local seminary library.  Great book so far.

I'm afraid I might be opening a can of worms here, but has anyone read Spiritual Blackmail: My Journey Through A Catholic Cult by Sherri Schettler? Sounds interesting. About CMRI. Is there an alternate viewpoint available?

King of Kings: The Triumph and Tragedy of Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia by Asfa-Wossen Asserate. His great grandmother was Empress of Ethiopia and his great grandfather Ras Kassa arguably had a stronger claim than Ras Tafari having two lines of relevant descent, not just the Shoan Solomonic line, but also descent from the Gondarine-Lasta line of earlier Emperors. His father was the chief advisor the Emperor. Although written by a Prince of the Imperial House, it has the detachment of the analyst and scholar he has been for years. He identifies neatly an element of the patriotic-Resistance forces were severely alienated after the Italians were ejected, and that this alienation was passed down to the children, and was possibly the nemesis of the Imperial House.

I read that the author was a lesbian. Did she address that in her book?

I am not sure. I haven't read it yet. I think I might get it through my library so I'm not giving this lady money if I think she has questionable motives for writing the book. I don't know much about CMRI though, other than what I've read online. I don't like to read just one side of things, especially Catholic related issues. I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a book about CMRI.

EWTN: A Network Gone Wrong. I was inspired to read it after Mother Angelica's death. I had tried reading it years ago but lost interest because of the first part of the book. The first part explains why V2 was problematic using the arguments with which I was already very well familiar. I should have stuck it out. The later parts are very interesting.

Little Britches: Father and I Were Ranchers, by Ralph Moody. I absolutely love this book. :) Such a heartwarming, moral story.
