To Do What the Day Demands: The Life of Father Kaspar Stanggassinger is the story of a gentle, holy Redemptorist priest from the German Bavarian Alps. A Catholic educator in the late nineteenth century, Stanggassinger was there for people who needed him day in and day out throughout his short life of just twenty-eight years. This simple seminary prefect was an everyday hero who was loved by everyone who's lives he touched, especially by his students. He was "e;full of unusual charity...a model for today's youth,"e; according to documentation on his beatification, a statement that's just as true today. The story of Blessed Kaspar Stanggassinger, written in plain language by Otto Weiss, will inspire and even nurture you.

The Southside kids have always been picked on by the Northsiders. Northsiders like to flaunt their clothes, cars, and cash. Sam "Skitter" Dirks and his Southside friends don''t mix with Carl and Brent and the other Northside boys. The only person that can keep them from killing each other is Tiffany, Carl''s sister. She was the prettiest girl that Sam had ever seen and one that was surely out of his reach... or was she?

Im Mai 1926 registrierte der Philosoph Peter Wust die Formierung einer deutschen katholischen Kulturfront, deren Standquartier er in Wien zu erkennen glaubte. Tatsächlich hatten sich führende Kulturkatholiken in Wien um zwei Zeitschriften - Das Neue Reich und Die Schönere Zukunft - gruppiert, die über Österreich hinaus als Speerspitze eines nach rückwärts gewandten Rechtskatholizismus einen bedeutenden Einfluss ausübten. Vorgestellt werden die Hauptrepräsentanten dieser Gruppe, ferner die von ihnen geführten Diskurse - besonders ihre Bemühungen um eine neue Identität Österreichs als eines besseren Deutschland -, ihre autoritären Leitlinien für katholische Politik und Kultur und ihre Feindbilder, angefangen von den Juden über die Sozialisten bis hin zur Demokratie.
