Product information
  • The Catholic Controversy
  • Stunning words penned by the great Saint Francis de Sales
  • A beautiful collection of proofs for the Catholic Faith

This book is a collection of pamphlets written by St. Francis de Sales as a young priest (age 27 to 29) struggling to reach people who would not listen to him: the 72,000 Calvinists of the French Chablais region, who had lost the Faith sixty years before. The task looked hopeless, yet in four years almost all 72,000 had returned to the Catholic Faith.

Here are some of the most cogent arguments against Protestantism ever penned, presenting a defense of the Catholic Faith that in some respects has never been equalled.

Learning From the Best

"I bought this for a young lady who is about to become Catholic. She has chosen St. Francis de Sales, and will receive Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil. She is very excited for her new life in the faith. I’m hoping that the writings of St. Francis will help her in formation and direction."

— Anne M. (5/5)

The Catholic Controversy

"The Catholic Controversy is a must read for all Catholics; especially for the ones that have broken away from the Church for whatever reason that man or woman has done to them, or no longer believe that the Catholic Church is the only Church. If you are tired of people coming to your door trying to tempt you away from the Church? Read this book and you will be able to say with confidence that there is only one Church of God and that is the Catholic Church and no other."

— Lavinia D. (5/5)
