If you could name just ONE saint that is fundamental to the Traditional Catholic movement, who would it be?
Either St. Athanasius or St. Pius V, right?
St. Pius V, the only Pope besides St. Pius X canonized during the past 500 years, was the author of the famous Papal Bull,
Quo Primum, which gave
permission and
legitimacy for priests and Faithful to use the Tridentine Mass without scruple FOR ALL TIME. (I think the Holy Ghost was involved in the creation of
Quo Primum, because God knew ahead of time what we'd be going through after 1970.)
But today I find out that "St. Pius V" is one of the books being discontinued at the "new" TAN Books.
We received your recent order on www.tansotres.com. Unfortunately St. Pius the V is out of stock and not available for backorder as we will not have it in for some time. I apologize our website was incorrectly labeled and the book should not have been available for order.
We will credit the card back the amount form the order. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Best Regards,
Paul
Note that THIS is how TAN deals with books they no longer intend to carry. "Not have it in for some time" means they have no plans to re-publish the book -- which pretty much means "never" for availability.
It's quite sad that such an important Traditional Catholic book publisher is slowly falling to pieces, just like the SSPX.
