  Newly translated into English: Fr. Roger Calmel's Brief Apologia for the Church of the Ages
Posted by: Stone - 42 minutes ago - Forum: Uncompromising Fighters for the Faith - No Replies

Brief Apologia for the Church of the Ages

[Image: 71hDjsgXhJL._SL1360_.jpg]

For those who may be unfamiliar, Fr. Roger Calmel was a staunch defender of Tradition, much admired by Archbishop Lefebvre and the traditional SSPX. 

We are delighted to learn of a newly published English translation of his Brief Apologia for the Church of the Ages  which can be found, for example here, on Amazon.


We are grateful to pass on a few of his works here on The Catacombs which keep the current crisis of the Church in a traditional perspective:

Fr. Roger Calmel: The Immaculate Heart of Mary and World Peace

Fr. Calmel - No one is exempt from the Fight!

Fr. Calmel - Of the Church and the Pope


Brief biographies of the life and work of Fr. Calmel from the SSPX can be found here and here.
