THE CATHOLIC CONTROVERSY
Author: St. Francis de Sales. 413p. PB
A collection of pamphlets written by St. Francis as a young priest struggling to reach people who would not listen to him--the 72,000 Calvinists of the French Chablais region, who had lost the Faith 60 years previously. The task looked hopeless, yet in four years Francis had converted nearly all of them back to the Catholic Faith. These little tracts show their author's great familiarity with Scripture and the Fathers and Doctors of the Church and come right to the point, addressing issues that are still of burning interest today--especially the question of how we can recognize the true Church and true doctrine; some of the best arguments against Protestantism ever penned.
