Free Catholic Resource from Ascension Press Sets the Record Straight

WEST CHESTER, Penn., May 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- "Angels & Demons is an overt attack on the Catholic Church that has the potential to shake the faith of millions of people who know little about Catholic teaching and Catholic and Western history," says Matthew Pinto, president of Ascension Press. As a response, the publisher of A Guide to the Passion and The DaVinci Deception has teamed up with Mark Shea, popular Catholic author and blogger, to set the record straight by releasing Answering Angels & Demons, a free downloadable e-book available at www.AnsweringAngelsandDemons.com.

Shea claims that Angels & Demons is "full of half- truths, historical inaccuracies, and outright lies." And though it is wrapped in an exciting story of mystery and intrigue, he says Angels & Demons has a clear agenda. "Portraying the Church as an institution determined to eliminate those who would foster scientific progress, Angels & Demons paints a picture of our Catholic heritage that denies even the most basic facts of history," says Shea. Originally authored by Dan Brown, and now adapted to the screen under the direction of Ron Howard, Angels & Demons is set to release today, May 15, 2009.

Available for free at www.AnsweringAngelsandDemons.com, Answering Angels & Demons contains thirty-three questions and answers that dispute and dispel the outrageous claims made in the story. "This short but pithy book will make it clear to readers that the Church, far from being an enemy to scientific progress, has throughout the centuries encouraged the scientific endeavors of such men as Copernicus (a Polish Catholic priest), and has been at the forefront of scientific research throughout history," says Pinto.

Answering Angels & Demons, by Mark Shea is a free resource published by Ascension Press. To receive your copy, visit www.AnsweringAngelsandDemons.com.

Quotes from 'The Glories of Mary':

‘I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head.’

(Gen. 3:15)

“Since the devil is the head of original sin, this head it was that Mary crushed: for sin never had any entry into the soul of this Blessed Virgin, which was consequently free from all stain.”

Saint Augustine

PSALM 71 SPEAKS TO MY HEART

Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!

Be to me a rock of refuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
you are he who took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually of you.

I have been as a portent to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength is spent.

For my enemies speak concerning me;
those who watch for my life consult together
and say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue and seize him,
for there is none to deliver him.”

O God, be not far from me;
O my God, make haste to help me!
May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;
with scorn and disgrace may they be covered
who seek my hurt.

But I will hope continually
and will praise you yet more and more.
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge.

With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;
I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come.
Your righteousness, O God,
reaches the high heavens.
You who have done great things,
O God, who is like you?

You who have made me see many troubles and calamities
will revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
you will bring me up again.
You will increase my greatness
and comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed.

And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,
for they have been put to shame and disappointed
who sought to do me hurt.
