Attention faithful Catholic: The current crisis in the Catholic Church started much earlier than you think... ...almost 10 years before Vatican II. Just ask Father Benedict Groeschel. He was there when it happened.
Dear Fellow Orthodox Catholic, Sex abuse scandals... irreverent liturgies... homosexuality in the seminaries... liberal theology preached from the pulpit... You know all about the crisis in the Church. But you've never heard the full story. When did the collapse in the Church occur... and what really caused it? Father Benedict Groeschel knows. He was there to witness it. And astonishingly enough, much of what he knows has gone unreported. That is, until now.
They were electrifying. For months after the event, we were still buzzing about the things Father Benedict told us... information we hadn't heard anywhere else -- including the real cause of the collapse in the Catholic Church in America. (And no, it's not what you think!) Now, four years later, the talks Father Benedict delivered on that weekend in Florida have become legendary. We still get phone calls literally every day asking about them. They've even come to be known as "The Florida Talks." Unfortunately, the information revealed was limited to the small group in attendance.
You see... the talks were recorded. With Father Benedict's permission, we were able to make copies of the original tapes. And now, we're making those available to you. For free. Really, this information is just too important to remain unheard. As I'm sure you'll agree, Fr. Benedict Groeschel is simply one of the most articulate and intelligent voices in the Catholic Church. You've probably seen on of his popular television shows on the Eternal Word Television Network. Or maybe you've read one of his wonderful books. And like us, you prayed fervently when he suffered a near-fatal accident two years ago. (Thankfully, he's recovered well and tells us he's busier than ever!) You know what a powerful voice Father Benedict is for faithful Catholics in the United States. And what he has to share with you in these CDs is nothing short of astonishing. But don't just take my word for it... In this CRISIS Magazine 4-CD set, "Exposing The Real Church Scandal," Father Benedict tells you:
With his characteristic humor and clarity, Father Benedict pulls no punches. In this remarkable set of talks, he tells you what the media and the religious left doesn't want you to hear. In just a moment, I'll tell you how you can get this bombshell audio set for free. But first, let me ask you a question...
In other words... ...have you ever wished you could silence the political, theological, and social critics of your Faith? You can.
You see, that's what we do here. At CRISIS Magazine, we investigate the controversial issues... dig up the facts... and report the truth directly to you. As you can guess, this isn't always popular. In October 2001, we ran a cover story on the horrible price of priestly pedophilia... and the shameful cost of covering it up. Some people got angry about that one. Really angry. But we didn't step down... we couldn't. Our readers needed to know the truth and our leaders needed to be held accountable. Four months later, the huge Boston sex abuse scandal exploded and CRISIS was proven right. (Believe me... here's one place where we would have been very happy to be wrong.) From politics to culture to theology, CRISIS Magazine reports the stories no-one else covers! Look, there are a lot of Catholic magazines out there, and no-one has time to read them all. So what makes CRISIS Magazine different from all the others? CRISIS is unique. As Pope Bendict XVI says, Catholicism isn't just a religion... it's a worldview... a way of looking at reality. With CRISIS Magazine, every month, you'll get to see the world through the eyes of the Catholic Faith. Our groundbreaking investigative journalism and insightful commentary are routinely cited and featured in the news... even by the mainstream media.
And our articles are read, forwarded and debated all over the Catholic world. Even other Catholic publications routinely discuss what was in the latest issue of CRISIS!
But there's much more to CRISIS than just our award-winning articles... Because of our reputation and influence in the Church, politics, and the arts, we've attracted some of the country's best writers and thinkers. In the average issue of CRISIS, you'll see articles by renowned political columnists like Robert Novak and Armstrong Williams... pundit and moral policy expert William J. Bennett... columnist, author, and Reagen/Bush speechwriter Peggy Noonan... Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput... National Review's Kathryn Jean Lopez and Ramesh Ponuru... the hilarious and controversial H.W. Crocker III... historian Thomas Madden... and more... Plus... in every issue of CRISIS...
You won't find this powerhouse linup anywhere else, in any other magazine. No wonder Robert Novak of the Fox News Channel (and a popular syndicated column) said:
And he's not our only fan...
But that's not all... Every month, you'll also find our renowned lineup on columnists. Father James Schall, SJ... Thomas Howard... David Warren... and of course, Father George Rutler. Month after month, CRISIS goes deep inside the most compelling and controversial issues of our day.

Sincerely, Brian Saint-Paul, editor P.S. During a retreat four years ago, Father Benedict Groeschel delivered a series of talks to a small group of CRISIS readers in Florida. Since then, "The Florida Talks" have become almost legendary among faithful Catholics. We still get phone calls every day, asking us about that weekend. You see, over the course of those three days, Father Groeschel revealed the real cause of the collapse of the Catholic Church in America. And what he told us was nothing short of amazing. With his permission, we were able to copy the original recording of these talks. It's not a pretty or professional recording... but it is bombshell informaton you cannot be without. If you'll let me, I'd like to send you a free set of the CDs. You won't find this offer anywhere else... it's a CRISIS Magazine exclusive.
