    David Allen White – An Ingenious Catholic Gentleman, RIP

    By:  Michael J. Matt | Editor

    David Allen White – An Ingenious Catholic Gentleman, RIP

    Dr. David Allen White passed away today after a long and courageous battle with a number of health ailments. I have known “Doc” White for a couple of decades, long enough to know that the Traditional Catholic movement has lost a champion that will not soon be replaced. Along with his impressive body of work known to so many all around the world, Doc also wrote for The Remnant newspaper from time to time, traveled with Remnant Tours on occasion, spoke at Remnant conferences, but most of all was a friend and a truly exemplary Catholic gentleman.

    We will have much to say about this great man in the pages of The Remnant in the days to come. But having just heard the news of his death, I hasten to beg Remnant readers to pray for the repose of his soul. Doc White would be furious at me or anyone else who would dare waste time eulogizing him while what he wants more than anything else right now is for his friends to beg heaven for God’s mercy on behalf of his soul. And so that is what we will do.

    I leave you with an urgent prayer for that intention, and also with a humorous cartoon that for me encapsulates my fondest memories of Doc White. It is a homage, really, sketched by his dear friend, Tom Brannon, and published in The Remnant many years ago. If you were fortunate to have known Doc personally then you will readily understand the apt reference to Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote. Like the Man for La Mancha, Doc White never quite fit in with the modern world. He was too rooted in the old ways, I guess, the old Faith, and the old world. He stood as a walking, talking rebuke of modernity, in fact, which is why He will be so greatly missed.

    Well done, Doc. You fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. May the crown of righteousness be yours in our Lord’s good time.

    Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine up him. May his soul through the mercy of God rest in peace.Doc white cartoon

    So, I saw that this was a year ago, and he did already look to be in pretty rough shape ... where you could tell he was struggling a bit mentally and physically.

    I guess he was about, what?, 75-76, when he passed away, so he would have been 74-75 here, and yet look to be struggling with some type of ailment here already in this video.

  • I once asked Dr. White at St. Thomas Aquinas seminary, "Dr. White, in your opinion who in America should have the right to vote?"  He said without hesitation, "I believe that only men who own land and have family should be able to vote, because they stand to lose something if they do not vote correctly."  My level of respect for him increased that day because he was willing to give an unpopular opinion and not give a damn.

  • Dr. White used to be a guest on the Hugh Hewitt show, years ago. It was always enjoyable.  You can do a search on Hewitt's site and find transcripts of their shows together.  I think they used to do cruises, too, and host conferences on Shakespeare.  That would have been so much fun.  

    May he rest in peace.

  • Here is a fun article about his conversion.  He reminds me a bit of Chesterton sometimes. :cowboy:

  • I'm going to have to dig out my Brother Marcel caricatures (cards), both of Dr. White and Bp. Williamson. Br. Marcel is so talented, he made so many masterpieces in my opinion.

    It was always a bright day when Br Marcel unveiled another card for everyone to sign.

    If someone could collect all of them and publish a book, I'm sure it would sell!

    I love the part where he was going to Mass and somehow ended up at a TLM and never looked back. :cowboy:

    I'm kind of reminded of the first time I ever assisted at the TLM, at an SSPX-associated chapel in the late 1980s, when I was new in town, in an area that had the TLM.  I had gone to the Latin Novus Ordo on occasion, and I had an old missal my father had found for me at an estate sale, so I thought it would be just like the Latin Novus Ordo, only with more elaborated prayers.  Like many a newcomer, I tried to follow along in the missal, tried to make the responses, and thought "it's going so fast, I can't hear a thing (I didn't realize it was largely celebrated in a whisper), I can't keep up".  I came out of the chapel wondering "was that a Mass?" and was totally befuddled.  But I went back, and went back again, and the rest is history.

    Yes, his artistic abilities were beyond compare, and he could have done very well for himself making and repairing religious art, and also as an original artist himself.

  • He encouraged home schoolers to persevere.  Even if you play cards with your children, they are learning more. He also stated students coming into the Academy who did not home school, had troubles in their reading skills. He had to set up a remedial programs for them, before the students could go any further.
    Prayers for you Dr. David Allen White

  • Interesting video. Thanks for sharing it. I had read his book on Bishop Castro de Mayer some years ago and enjoyed it. Did he ever write anything about Shakespeare? I would be interested in reading it. May he rest in peace.

    There are a lot of his talks and probably other works on the web. This site looks like it's free to just listen, ( I see 4 talks) but $ for downloading. 
    Here he mentions that very young kids can learn many languages till age 5. ( Romeo)  Have you listened to his "SOUP" ADDRESS... on the occasion of + Z consecration? ..14 minutes= special treat. It's on CathInfo.
