What Leading Catholics are Saying about the Writings and Apostolate of Hugh Akins

              Catholics in the USA that are – or should be – concerned with recent trends in religion and politics – have a reliable voice in Mr. Hugh Akins of New York.  Let us thank the Lord God in Heaven for at least one just man in modern-day Gomorrah, and pray that his apostolate, which looks to me to be right on target, will attract many other good men to stand with him for a unified defense of Christian civilization.  Onward, men of America! The hour for organized and vigorous counterrevolution is now! – Hamish Fraser, editor, Approaches, Scotland.                                       

Thank you so much for your excellent book, Christian Order and the Modern World.  Please accept my congratulations for this very important work, based on the teaching of the social doctrine of the Church and the popes.  I would wish that this book had a big spreading everywhere in English speaking countries, especially in the United States. – Fr. Franz Schmidberger, Former Superior General, Society of St. Pius X, Freebourg, Switzerland.

I could not put the book down [No King But Caesar].  I learned so much from it.  More importantly, it changed my thinking forever on so many crucial issues.  Dear sir, you have performed a wonderful service in the on-going war between good and evil.  Thank you for opening my eyes and for supplying the remnant in America with this powerful new weapon.  Kindly keep me abreast of all future writing projects.  My library would be sorely lacking without these books by Hugh Akins. – Dr. Dominic Lobello, Boston, Massachusetts. 

As you say, what a combat!  But you must be congratulated on your public impact … If only many more Catholics understood today’s crisis as you do, the Church would not be in nearly such straits. – Bishop Richard Williamson, Rector, St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary, Winona, Minnesota.

Great champions of the truths of the Social Reign of Christ the King in the half-century since the death of Fr. Denis Fahey have included ... the author of No King But Caesar, Mr. Hugh Akins ... Mr Akins was one of the original founders of the League of the Kingship of Christ ... His fifth printing of No King But Caesar is an important volume for Catholics to purchase, read, study and reference, as it provides proof once again that each champion of Christ the King speaks but with one voice, that of the Catholic Church, that of Catholic truth ... Mr. Akins ... makes it clear that their [the conciliar popes] teaching deviates from the Catholic faith and draws the contrast between, if I can say so, conciliarism and Catholicism very effectively.  Mr. Akins demonstrates that Americanism, which can be defined as the exaltation of the American founding principles as compatible with and no threat to the integrity of the Catholic Faith, is truly inimical to the Faith ... No King But Caesar is compelling reading ... I give this book my heartiest endorsement ... This should be assigned reading in every traditional Catholic school and home-schooling curriculum.  Traditional chapels should stock and sell this book. - Dr. Thomas Droleskey, Editor Christ or Chaos, Pine Island, New York.

Mr. Akins - I read your manuscript [The Stern Committee Findings] and war-time journal [Combat in Vietnam] at the recommendation of my esteemed colleague and dear friend, Dr. Merril Root.  I must confess that I am as impressed with them - and with you - as he was.  My dear Sir, you most certainly have a talent with words.  One can actually FEEL the burning passion in what you write.  In addition, the message you bring to your reading audience could not be more exigent.  I wish you very much success in your literary - and apostolic - endeavors.  And I salute you as well, Sir, for your most honorable, commendable and courageous service to your country in Vietnam. Truly, you have "Answered as a Man" [this was the title of one of Ms. Caldwell's many published books]. - Taylor Caldwell, international best-selling author, London, England.

His analysis is perceptive, his writing compelling, his theology – pure, unadulterated traditional Catholic.  I am more than happy to introduce his works to my readers in this part of the world.  – Yves Dupont, author, editor of World Trends, Australia.

 Thank you for your letter of April 12 with the enclosed manuscript, No King But Caesar.   The book is indeed an excellent refutation of liberalism and Americanism and would certainly merit to be printed. – Fr. Peter Scott, Former U.S. District Superior, Society of St. Pius X, Kansas City, Missouri.

Many thanks for a complimentary copy of your book … I pray that by the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ this book might do a lot of good to many souls.  You may diffuse it among our chapels. – Fr. Francis Laisney, Former District Superior, Society of St. Pius X, USA, Dickinson, Texas.

My very dear friend, Hugh:  It was such a joy to learn of your recent activity.  The restart-up of the League of the Kingship of Christ - oh, what welcome news!  If anyone has what it takes to launch  a successful crusade for Christ the King on the American side of the Atlantic, it is you.  May God continue to bless your apostolate with abundant graces. Please accept this modest donation for this most worthy undertaking. - Deirdre Manifold, Galway, Ireland. 

The book [No King But Caesar] is very good ... It is a very useful compendium of sources.  The arguments are put together well ... a good, solid blend of immutable Catholic doctrine, history, and contemporary events ... Excellent work, Hugh. - Dr. Thomas Droleskey, Editor, Christ or Chaos, Pine Island, New York

I must say that With Jesus on Retreat is a classic!  I can see why the Angelus Press actively distributes it.  Rare is the book this rich in Catholic spirituality that also gives an in-depth overview of the crisis of the post-Vatican II era. Not surprising, our bookstore was all sold out after Mass.  I really appreciated the heads-up on New Age spiritism – straight from the depths of hell, as the author says. – Mrs. Andrew Jennison, Post Falls, Idaho.

It’s doubtful there are more than a handful of Vietnam vets that have your depth of understanding of the issues behind the headline news, and of the hidden forces that are driving us all into a socialist and totalitarian servitude  – with the assist of our corrupt and deceptive clergy, the mass media, the two-party system which is really perpetuating the same collectivist propaganda and platform, and of course let us not forget the government (i.e. public) schools, by far the greatest institutions of leftist indoctrination. - Congressman John Schmitz, California.          

Based on the samples I’ve seen – several pages from his private journal, Combat in Vietnam, and a sample chapter from his unpublished political novel on the Vietnam War, The Stern Committee Findings – I do believe that this fervent young man is about to distinguish himself as a noteworthy writer. – E. Merril Root, American poet and author of America’s Steadfast Dream, New Hampshire.         

The immense undertaking of bringing America back to God – this country’s one and only hope – has found a new champion in the intrepid author of such brilliant works as Democracy’s Deathwish, Caesaropapism and the Americanist Heresy, Christ of all Nations, and No King But Caesar.  Hard-hitting, eye-opening and insightful reading.   And read them you must! But this zealous young soldier of Christ began making his mark and impacting the world for good long before this, even as most of us traditional Catholics, this editor especially, was still sleeping or finding his way out of the darkness.  Even before Michael Davies and Walter Matt and The Remnant, and the arrival of the Society of St. Pius X on the American continent, Hugh Akins publicly supported Archbishop Lefebvre and later co-authored the first book in the English language - perhaps the first book anywhere in the world - to recognize Lefebvre as a great bishop and saint [In Defense of the Faith]. – Dr. James J. Kolby, editor, Issues & Trends Newsletter, Wall Street, New York, New York.

Thank you so much for authoring Christ of all Nations, and for writing in such a way that I could   understand   what   the   Church   presents to us  about  the twofold sovereignty of Christ and His social Kingship.  You dispelled a lot of confusion in my layman’s mind.  Great job.  Donation enclosed. -  Jason Wright, Bethesda, Maryland.

A man as a man should be, Hugh Akins has a well-trained mind, a soldier’s heart, a Catholic’s passion – and wields his pen like the sword of a medieval knight. – Fr. Malachi Martin, New York, New York.          

Thank you for your 3 booklets [With Jesus on Retreat, Christ of All Nations, and The Enthronement of the Sacred Heart and the Recovery of Christendom]; they are very good … I think your apostolate is very important. – Fr. de la Tour, Rector, Holy Cross Seminary, Goulburn, Australia.

I am of the same view as you … I have a few young men interested to promote the social reign of Christ the King … Your literature has filled me with zeal for such an apostolate in India. – Rev. Fr. Pancras Christenand, Kanchipuram, India.     

Christian Order and the Modern World, is one of the most interesting books I have come across. – Christopher Armitage, Elk Grove, California               

Your excellent book … is very comprehensive in that it summarizes the world problems from the social, political, economic, medical, religious, spiritual and theological aspects – a veritable opus Magnum! – Edgar A. Lucidi, M.D., Brea, California.                        

Many thanks for your Christian Order and the Modern World.  Let me assure you that every contribution in the fight to restore our Roman Catholic Faith is very important.  I have already begun to spread the word about your book. – Fr. Francis L. LeBlanc, Preoria, Arizona.                 

God has certainly given you a wonderful blessing in your ability to write and compile all the truths contained in Christian Order and the Modern World. – Mrs. Carol Maloney, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.                              

I congratulate you on your book, and do encourage many to read it. – Fr. Loren Gerspacher, Pretoria, South Africa.                     

I read the book and fully agree with the sentiments expressed … The contents are exquisite and should be read not only by traditional Catholics but also by sincere, truth seeking Christians. – Klaus Deubelbeiss, Beach Grove, Indiana.                             

Your Christian Order and the Modern World  arrived a few days ago.  The book, to my mind, is a masterpiece … Everything you have in the book needs to be there to make it complete.  So very few people know about the conspiracies of the big bankers, the politicians, the food poisoners, and the enemies of our dear Faith … God bless you and may your readers (and I hope you will have a lot of them) take heed and profit by what you have written. – Francis Callaghan, The Angelus Shop, Yorba Linda, California.                   

Congratulations on a job well done.  Please rush me 50 copies of your excellent book.  Many souls are in urgent need of the information Mr. Akins has so painstakingly compiled. – Roger P. Callas, Bronxville, New York.               

Thank you for sending us the flyers on your books.  I was introduced to your work via a cassette tape on "The Heresy of Americanism" several years ago.  Up to that point I had NO idea regarding the Kingship of Christ in what that truly means, and also no awareness of TRUE history of our country.  Since then I have tried to educate myself in all truth. - Mrs. John Costello, Mount Dora, Florida.

Hugh’s In Defense of the Faith was a real labor of love, this I can tell you from first-hand knowledge, and I might add quite an awakening to the uninformed Catholic. I am encouraged by the prospects of winning many converts through this well-written, thoroughly documented expose.  I believe in Hugh Akins.  He has been an inspiration to many of us who know him. – Michael Sherin, Long Island, New York.                                                             

I would appreciate it if you would let me know of any other books by Hugh Akins.  I have read his Christian Order and the Modern World, and have found it most interesting and informative. – Gwen Rozells, Western Australia.                         

What a wonderful revelation it was for me to go through your book, In Defense of the Faith.  I fully endorse the explanations … both against the Novus Ordo and in praise of the true Mass of old.  The New Mass is nothing but a profanation and a sacrilege …  With these extra copies of your book, sure I am roused to put up a fight for the old true Mass by presenting them to a few bishops at the start, and a few laymen as well. – Rev. Msgr. D. L. Mathias, Bangalore, India.                    

Please send 25 copies of Christian Order … for now.  We have just a small book store and so we are limited in our purchasing power.  But we will bring the book all over western Canada and of course highly recommend it to our faithful … May God bless you and your work. – Fr. Jean Violette, St. Raphael’s Priory, Manitoba, Canada.

… I do not know of any actual book giving a more accurate picture of our modern world than this commentary by Mr. Akins … it fits all the pieces of the puzzle together, enabling us to see clearly the intimately linked roots of our evils.  But its main merit is that it is based on the perennial teaching of the Church, explained in a way that everybody can understand.  No wonder this book is recommended by Archbishop Lefebvre.  Yes, every Catholic in America should read Christian Order and the Modern World. – Fr. Pierre Delaplace, pastor, St. Michael Archangel, Farmingville, New York.

Hugh Akins is a most interesting writer … Trinity Acres (dedicated to St. Pius X) will promote this text (Christian Order and the Modern World) along with Fr. Fahey’s The Mystical Body of Christ and the Reorganization of Society.  We are very much interested in Hugh Akins’ other publications. – Robert Fitzpatrick, Souder, Montana.

I have finished reading your excellent book … I want to get it into the hands of many of my friends, so I will take advantage of your offer of 40% on 25 or more copies.  There is a noticeable movement among traditional Catholics to produce the solid writing we need for our times.  Yours is a valuable contribution.  May God further your efforts. – Msgr. Raymond Ruscitto, Kingsburg, California.

I have read your book six times.  This is not an indication of fault finding with me; rather an indication of appreciation for a good work … You have covered many areas … Your book really is a summation of world difficulties in the present age … Your coverage of the secular conditions is all too accurate – and all too frightening! … I have enjoyed and will continue to benefit from your book … I pray that many people will read it and learn from it. – Rt. Rev. Msgr. William Ridgeway Jr., Vicarius Generalis, The Latin (Eastern) Rite Orthodox Catholic Church of America, Falmouth, Maine.

You are a living example not only of how to promote the Social Reign of Christ the King but of true charity for your brothers and sisters in Christ with whom you do not agree completely on all issues.  This is almost unheard of these days.  I commend you for it as I support your own valiant work in behalf of Christ the King and mary our Immaculate Queen. - Dr. Thomas Droleskey, Editor Christ or Chaos, Pine Island, New York.

I have completed your educational, inspiring book Yuma and am in the middle of No King But Caesar, and want to thank and commend you for this GREAT apostolate labor of love you have undertaken, which is SO very much needed.  I have learned a great deal more from these books and look forward to reading more of your (and the Church's) teachings ... - Mrs. John Costello, Mount Dora, Florida. 

What a delight to receive your complimentary book … You touch upon most of the essentials, and it is literally sprinkled with good sound quotations.  A very fine work … I agree with you, Msgr. Lefebvre is the Athanasius of our time. – Don McLean, editor, Catholic, Yarra Junction, Australia.

Christian Order and the Modern World … is like a hundred Christian classics condensed into a single volume.  Every page is packed with Catholic wisdom.  Every chapter bulges with the Church’s authentic teachings.  None of that modernist nonsense is found here.  The orthodox faith is zealously upheld throughout the book … In summary, Hugh Akins has given us a book that has real merit; a book I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend.  Though it provides no new truths to the knowledgeable Catholic, it does present these truths in one neat, concise and highly readable package.  Here is a book that contains a veritable treasury of Catholic thought on a host of timely issues and trends.  It is my sincere hope that many will be introduced to this outstanding volume. – Mrs. Michelle F. Hughes, Port Richie, Florida.

Thank you indeed for a copy of your article [Archbishop Lefebvre – the Consecration of Bishops and the Question of Schism] which seems to me to be eloquent and accurate.  Congratulations … God bless you and your family and your pen! – Bishop Richard Williamson, Rector, St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary, Winona, Minnesota
