dizzy_dave and Anne1964, greetings. Anne, you’re correct: I never published my work on the SSPX. The research is there, just as it’s there for a book on the churches of Rome that I’ve worked on for almost 10 years. However, as you might imagine, the interest in either topic is, shall we say, niche. However, I have written two books, both on the saints, “39 New Saints You Should Know” and “Saint Who? 39 Holy Unknowns.” And, yes, I also wrote the Foreword to Signs of the Times: Understanding the Church since Vatican II. That book addresses the Lefebrvite schism to a small degree. It’s greatest function, however (and I get no royalties or any benefit other than satisfaction over the sale of this book), is that it gives you a really, really clear understanding of why the Church has experienced such upheavel and confusion over the past 50 years. I would agree with Anne that Patrick Madrid and Peter Vere’s book is good. So is The Pope, the Council, and the Mass by James Likoudis and Kenneth Whitehead. I highly recommend it. Both are fascinating, as is Frank Sheed’s Is It the Same Church? May God bless and keep you both in this Advent season and give you a grace-filled Christmas and New Year.
