 General Description:

The last 50 years have been confusing, tumultuous ones for Catholicism. Seminaries emptied, priests and nuns left their vocations, people dissented from basic teachings, and children received poor catecheses. What happened?

This book answers that question. Part history, part Bible study, part apologetics manual, part Marian devotional, part catechism, The Signs of the Times is all profound insight into our turbulent times. As such, it is not only an eye-opening and truly important book for any Catholic, it is the key to comprehending the state of the Church in America today and to gaining a sense of hope for her future.

 

Reviews of the author's work:

During the six years I served as bishop of Green Bay, I came to know Fr. Richard Gilsdorf as a holy priest, a Scripture scholar, teacher, and pastor, as well as a friend and confidant whose opinion and insights I valued. He was faithful and loyal to the teachings of the Church and had a zeal for communicating the faith to others. This collection of his writings will both inspire and challenge any reader. He stretched my thinking and enlarged my heart; I trust he will do the same for you. -- Adam Cardinal Maida, Archbishop of Detroit 


Fr. Gilsdorf was a priest's priest, and was one of the first to grasp the crisis that gripped the Church after the Council. In one instance, he wrote an article for my magazine called The Plight of the Papist Priest (included in this book). Its impact was so great, it was translated into five languages, and people requested it for over 20 years. Readers of this volume will find this sort of unique perspective. --Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J.

This item received 5 stars overall. An Adventure through the Tumultous Happenings of Vatican II

Fr. Richard W. Gilsdorf (1930–2005) was a priest’s priest, a pastor, spiritual counselor, scholar, and lecturer. He was one of the first to grasp the crisis that gripped the Church after the Council. With insight and tact, he exposed dissent and stood as a kind crusader for Catholic truth as contained in Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium."

So writes Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J., editor of Homiletic & Pastoral Review, in one of the impressive testimonials found in The Signs of the Times. His testimony is borne out by the collection of articles found in this book. While other priests were enraptured by a bogus "spirit of Vatican II," it did not take long for Fr. Gilsdorf to realize dissent from the entire spectrum of Catholic teachings had spread throughout the Church in North America. Further, it became clear to him that the priesthood itself was under direct attack from neomodernists teaching in prestigious Catholic univers Full Review...

This item received 5 stars overall. The Signs of the Times Book Review

 

Tiber River gave me the opportunity to review the book, The Signs of the Times: Understanding The Church Since Vatican II, which contains the writings of the late Fr. Richard W. Gilsdorf.  His writings have been edited and compiled by Patrick Beno in 2008.  Fr. Gilsdorf was instrumental in navigating the tidal waves of confusion following Vatican II for he understood what was happening and sought to stay true to Holy Scripture, Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium.  He was a priest in the diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin from 1956-2005 during this time as he championed Catholic doctrine.
