Catholic publisher's ties to anti-semitic websites

A Catholic publisher has ties to anti-semitic websites, as well as members of fascist movements. The publisher, IHS Press, has received a rating of "excellent" by CatholicCulture.com - a lay site that rates for Catholic readers the fidelity of websites to the Catholic Church’s teaching.

In September 2001, John Sharpe and Derek Holland founded IHS Press, its stated mission "to bring back into print the classics of last century on the Social Teachings of the Catholic Church."  The founders have been interviewed by by Zenit News, and have been commended by the New Oxford for their publication of out-of-print books. In addition to its promotion of traditional Catholic works, IHS Press has, through its "Sheffield Hallam University Press" imprint, published several books on economic socialism, including study of the controversial publisher Alfred Richard Orage and Gary Taylor's Socialism and Christianity: The Politics of the Church Socialist League -- a study of late 19th, early 20th century Christian socialism in England which challenges the notion that "socialism is anti-Christian". 

In December 2005, IHS Press, under the imprint "Light and Darkness," published the two-part anthology Neo-Conned and Neo-Conned Again, which in the publisher's words are "a hard-hitting, no-holds-barred examination of the immorality, the injustice, the illegality, and the insanity of America’s aggression against Iraq."

The Neo-Conned series is said to be the product of "20 months of extensive research" and has contributions from a "who's who" of authors opposed to the Iraq war, including: "paleoconservative" Pat Buchanan (The American Conservative), Joseph Sobran, Deacon Keith Fournier (former editor of TCRNews.com), Paul Likoudis (The Wanderer), William T. Cavanaugh, Ph.D. (author of Torture and Eucharist), Scott Ritter (former chief UN weapons inspector for UNSCOM), journalist Robert Fisk, Professor Noam Chomsky, Justin Raimondo (antiwar.com), Mark and Louise Zwick (Houston Catholic Worker) and E. Michael Jones (Culture Wars).

The series has received endorsements from Dale Vree (New Oxford Review), Tom Cornell (Catholic  Worker), as
