Traditional Catholic Reading List
« on: August 27, 2017, 11:19:10 AM »
God bless you on this Sunday Afternoon: 

Prayers to all of the CathInfo members impacted by hurricane harvey. 

Can any of you recommend a very basic reading list for traditional Catholics (especially Catholics who have recently escaped the Novus Ordo)? 

This is what I have come up with so far: 

- 1962 Roman Missal (I have also been told the 1958 Missal if I can find a copy)
- The Baltimore Catechism # 3 by Fr. Connell (But do you recommend all four books in the series? For some reason I recall hearing that this was the only version that I needed). 
- The Sources of Catholic Dogma by Denzinger 

Also, since I will need to prepare the children for First Holy Communion, is there a book that anyone can recommend for small children? 

Thank you! God Bless

You as well. This a more of a request to all others; Please note well the "new" part.

Gently. As this possibly will turn into another debate about relative merits of various works, one more "dude" with no cents of his own is going to help.

Feel free to touch base if this doesn't work out for you otherwise mcollier

Baltimore catechism #1 for the children. 

The Sinner's Guide for adults. It's available through iBooks if you have an apple product and may also be in archive.org. Lots of good old Catholic books are on archive.org. Look for ones by St. Francis de Sales, Thomas A Kempis, Lorenzo Scupoli, St Ignatius, St Teresa of Avila,Thomas Aquinas and of course a copy of the Douay-Rheims Bible. All are available in digital format, some through iBooks, some from archive.org

Also do a search for Catholic audio books. There are dozens of great ones sprinkled around the net.

For a recent escapee I'd suggest to learn the  Traditional Mass by purchasing "The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass"
We used it in school over 60 years ago and the SSPX uses it in their schools today.
It's available from Lapanto Press at Our Lady of Victory

Click on "preview this book" under the book.  It's the same work format as a catechism.
