"You will find here an uncommon life of a Redemptorist in the middle of the torment of Vatican II, the catastrophe of the 20th century. The damage it caused worldwide to souls, first the Catholic souls, then any soul ... is beyond any imagination ... Suddenly, the normal actions, the normal life turns into heroism. This example should give us joy and courage for our times." - Bishop Bernard Fellay, FSSPX, Foreword
All readers are reminded by the story of Fr. Kathrein, especially the younger generations who weren't around to witness the spiritual exile of orthodox Catholics in the years following Vatican II. It also serves as a reminder that the battle itself has not changed, even though the methods have evolved with time and circumstances: our aim is to purge the Catholic Church of the neo-Modernist errors and to restore the hierarchy and the faithful with the Church's own unchanging and infallible Tradition, who have been left spiritually destitute and abandoned as a result of the false doctrines, subpar catechesis, and anarchic liturgical practises of the previous 60 years. The life of God can only be effectively imparted to souls through the Catholic Tradition for His glory, as well as for their salvation and sanctification. - from the Preface by the Author
