The Doctrine of St. Augustine on Sanctity

St. Alphonsus writes: a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery. Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: Woe to the world because of scandals! (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels newspapers magazines theaters films in a world of immodesty! We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1 000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This book is a photographic reprint of the original. The original has been inspected and many imperfections in the existing copy have been corrected. At Saint Pius X Press our goal is to remain faithful to the original in both photographic reproductions and in textual reproductions that are reprinted. Photographic reproductions are given a page by page inspection whereas textual reproductions are proofread to correct any errors in reproduction.
