Traddy Daddy - Joseph Bevan

. .

Résumé :

What Readers Are Saying about Traddy Daddy

Joseph has written a remarkable and compelling second memoir containing great pearls of wisdom, timeless truths shared with wit and candour, and an ever sound commentary on our contemporary ills, all delivered in the best way: through the lens of a well-formed layman's deep Catholic faith. -Edward Pentin, National Catholic Register

The terrifying tutelage of Sr Immaculata, the priest so tipsy he slips back into Latin, and Fr 'call me Eddie': Joseph again permits us to peep into the inner workings of the Bevan clan and brings us up to date with wayward pontiffs, wokery, and the need to trust in the mercy of God. A second very engaging work, it does not disappoint! -Dom Cuthbert Brogan, OSB, St Michael's Abbey, Farnborough

Joseph Bevan instructs and entertains with stories from his often-confusing childhood as well as his cherished days raising a family. Joe's books are an honest reminder that while the pursuit of sanctity always has to jostle with human frailty and a gamut of passions, God's grace wins out in the end. - Kathy Clubb, founder and editor of the Freedoms Project, Australia

Joseph Bevan's recollections are an important witness to the ancient Catholic faith which, despite the ravages of the post-Vatican II era, persists in England to this day. They are also a tribute and a warning to the Catholic community in England and beyond. -Dorothy Cummings McLean, LifeSiteNews

Joseph Bevan's book is a piercing testimony to the mockery of religion that the Catholic Church became after the Second Vatican Council, and to the sufferings of those faithful Catholics who, as a persecuted minority, tried to uphold what had been taught and practiced semper, ubique, ab omnibus. -Henry Sire, author of Phoenix from the Ashes

Parents have but one opportunity to form their children in the Faith. Attending to this solemn duty in an epoch of cultural, moral, and ecclesial disintegration is even more challenging-perhaps the work of true saints? Joseph Bevan would not describe himself as a saint, but he would hope that, in spite of everything-himself included-he has come to strive for sanctity in his vocation as a husband and a father. His gritty determination has paid off. With God's grace, this perseverance has brought forth real fruit even when the climate and the soil have been less than optimal. There is much for all of us to learn in these pages. -Dom Alcuin Reid, Prior, Monast?re Saint-Beno?t, Brignoles
