Navigating the Crisis in the Church: Essays in Defense of Traditional Catholicism

Since the controversial, some say invalid, resignation of Benedict XVI in 2013, faithful Catholics around the world have been forced to endure — even more so than in the decades following the Second Vatican Council — repeated attacks on long-established Church teachings by those who occupy positions of authority in Rome.
