ANGELUS PRESS
OUR APOSTOLATE
Angelus Press was founded in 1978 in Dickinson, Texas, by Fr. Carl Pulvermacher, OFM.
We began as an apostolate of the Society of St. Pius X to provide traditional Catholic
literature and doctrine to Americans confused by the changes in the Church after Second
Vatican Council and the introduction of the New Mass.

with a false premise instead of without it.

Although run almost entirely by
volunteers, Fr. Carl Pulvermacher and his small band of faithful helpers ensured that, in
the whirlwind of changes happening in the 1970’s, faithful Catholics could find reliable,
traditional Catholic teaching.

interpreted with a false premise, inference
and concluion.

Shortly after this humble beginning, Archbishop Lefebvre gave us the mandate to be the
official publisher of his works in English. He wanted to be sure that Americans and other
English-speaking Catholics would know of his work and that of the Society of St. Pius X.
Lionel: He did not know that Vatican Council II
could be interpeted with LG 8, LG 14, LG 16 etc
being visible and not visible, unknown and not
known.

By the grace of God, after almost 40 years of continued growth, Angelus Press now offers over six hundred titles, of which over 250 are our own publications. We continue not only to fortify traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, we also
reach out to those who have not yet found Tradition. St. John Bosco once said “Only God
knows the good that can come about by reading one good Catholic book.”
Lionel: Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre's bools are
based on the irrational interpretation of the
Council. So they cannot be recommended.

Being blessed by Providence over the years, Angelus Press has grown now to
become the official communications arm of the U.S. District. This means that, in addition
to the books and The Angelus magazine, we:
- Host an annual conference to help form the faithful;
- Manage and publish the internal and external bulletins of the Society, including the
- Regina Coeli Report, the Priest’s Bulletin, and the upcoming magazine for the missions;
- Manage the US District’s official website, SSPX.org;
- Assist with the launching of the upcoming international SSPX News agency.
This “hidden” side of the work of Angelus Press, besides strengthening the faithful,
is more often than not, the first contact with those searching for Tradition. This apostolic
outreach is critical to rebuilding the Church.
Lionel: They want to build a Church with the
liberal New Theology.

Our Conference for Catholic Tradition in 2016 was dedicated to the missions. While we
discussed the foreign missions in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere, we wanted to stress that
everywhere is effectively mission territory today. Even here in America, we can truly say
that the work of the Society, and of Angelus Press, is a missionary effort!
Lionel. It is not missionary since their theology
says outside the Church there is salvation.

LG 8, LG 14, LG 16 etc are exceptions to the

As part of this missionary effort, Angelus Press and the US District have been supplying
books and materials free of charge to several important groups of people. The first group
are those priests interested in coming to Tradition and wanting to learn the traditional
Latin Mass and sacraments. We receive hundreds of requests for help and assistance,
not only on how to offer the traditional Latin Mass, but for a wide range of information about
Tradition itself...
Lionel. It is a false Tradition which is being
promoted. There is no denial from them.
They agree with what I say but for political
reasons keep silent.

History
In 1974 Father Joseph Fessio, S.J. returned to the United States from then-West Germany,
where he had completed his doctoral studies in theology under then-Professor Joseph
Ratzinger (who would later become Pope Benedict XVI).
Lionel: Pope Benedict and Fr. Fessio interpret
Vatican Council II with the false premise instead
of without it. So the books on Vatican Council II
cannot be recommended.

Previously Father Fessio had been pursuing graduate studies in theology in France,
mentored by Father Henri de Lubac, S.J. (later to be made a Cardinal by Pope St. John
Paul II). It was Father de Lubac who proposed to Father Fessio that he write his doctoral
thesis on the theology of Father Hans Urs von Balthasar, whom Father de Lubac described
as 'the greatest theologian or our time...
Lionel. Fr. Henri de Lubac and Fr. Balthasar also interpreted
Vatican Council II with the irrationality to create an artificial
rupture with Tradition.

and perhaps of all time'. (Father von Balthasar was also named a Cardinal by Pope St. John
Paul II but died shortly before being officially received into the College of Cardinals.) It was
also Father de Lubac who wrote to Professor Ratzinger asking that Father Fessio be
accepted by him as a doctoral student.
De Lubac, Balthasar, and Ratzinger were and are among the most distinguished
Catholic theologians of the 20th century, but in the 1970s, few of their works were known
in the United States and even fewer were available in English translation.
Lionel. They all promote the New Theology based on the
irrational interpretation of LG 16 etc.
___________________________
It was to serve the good of the Catholic Church by making these works available
to English-speaking readers, that in June of 1978, Father Fessio, along with Carolyn Lemon,
began Ignatius Press as the primary activity of an existing non-profit religious corporation,
Guadalupe Associates, Inc.
Ignatius Press grew rapidly and added other European theologians as authors,
including Father Louis Bouyer, C.O. Manuscripts from American authors began arriving
and Ignatius Press expanded its list to include them.
Tony Ryan arrived as Director of Marketing in 1981 and soon thereafter began
acquiring rights to distribute Catholic and family-friendly films. The Ignatius Press list of
books and films expanded rapidly both in quantity and genre to include a wide variety of
titles and authors. The criteria of selection were three: fidelity to the apostolic and
evangelizing mission of the Catholic Church; outstanding literary and artistic quality; ability
to reach the widest possible readership and viewership, including academics, religious,
priests, laity, and children.
Ignatius Press also undertook to assist in the religious education of young people
through collaborating with Catholics United for the Faith to develop the Faith and Life series
and with a catechetical group to produce a catechetical series Image of God. Later, Father
Fessio and Ignatius Press assisted with the English translation of the Catechism of the
Catholic Church. More recently, Ignatius Press published the YOUCAT series of books
aimed at the religious formation of young people. These works were created with the
help of an international group of youth and catechists, and were approved by Popes
Benedict and Francis.
Lionel. They were all intepreting Vatican Council II
with an irrationality.

Lionel. There is no catechesis and educational work with
Vatican Council II interpreted without the false premise,
inference and conclusion.
