Traditional Catholic Publishers

Feast of St. Nicholas, Bishop and Confessor

Benziger, Desclee, Dessain, Mame, Pustet -- such names belonged to the great Catholic publishers of the earlier half of the twentieth century.  Following the creation of the Conciliar Church in the 1960s and the propagation of its new perverse doctrines, the aforementioned publishing houses mostly failed or faded into shadows of their former selves.  But in response to the Conciliar revolution, Catholics especially in the English-speaking world endeavored to found new publishing houses.  The following is a short list of such publishers, their affiliation (if known), and notable titles they produce:

-The Aquinas Institute
Notable titles:  Summa Theologiae, Commentaries

-Baronius Press (Conciliar Church's "Conservative" Ratzingerians)
Notable titles:  1962 hand missal, 1961 Latin-English breviary, DRC bibles

-Loreto Publications
Notable titles:  Blessed Sacrament Prayerbook, Commentary of Cornelius a Lapide, DRC bibles

-Maximus Scriptorius Publications
Notable titles:  Smith's Latin-English Dictionary, pre-Challoner Douay-Rheims photo-reproduction

-Nova et Vetera (Conciliar Church's FSSP trap)
Notable titles:  1962 altar missal, 1961 Latin breviary, 1962 lectionary

-Preserving Christian Publications
Notable titles:  The Roman Ritual, St. Robert Bellarmine's Commentary on the Psalms

-Refuge of Sinners Publishing
Notable titles:  Parente's Dictionary of Dogmatic Theology, Tanquerey's The Spiritual Life

-Romanitas Press
Notable titles:  Candles in the Roman Rite, The Liturgical Altar

 -Tradibooks (Sedevacantist)
Notable titles:  The Relations of the Church to Society, Commonitorium Against Heresies

[List to be updated as necessary.]


As Christmas fast approaches, please consider buying directly from the above Catholic publishers via their websites.  But especially consider donating to the Opera Omnia project of The Aquinas Institute, which aims to reprint in totally re-typeset Latin and English the complete works of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor.  It very well may be the most important publishing event of the whole Traditional Catholic Publishing era.  Doubt it?  Easily verifiable, as single volumes start at $35.66 on Amazon.com.
