A life of an extraordinary man,
By
This review is from: Saint Peter Canisius (Hardcover)
This is a well-done account of a most important figure in Counter-Reformation history, and anyone interested in that period should read it. It may be that those of us who are of Germanic descent and Catholic owe our Faith to the work he did.
