Father Paul Trinchard, RIP

Having just yesterday taken another look at the death of Father Nicholas Gruner ("Who killed Father Gruner?"), Walt is saddened to report that another noted traditional Catholic scholar and author, Father Paul Trinchard, passed to eternity on August 23rd.

Father Trinchard graduated from Loyola University with degrees in Physics and Philosophy, then worked for a short time in industry before he entering the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). He was ordained by a diocesan archbishop in 1966, two years before the mainstream Roman Catholic Church adopted the New Ordinal which many traditional Catholics believe is invalid.

In the late 1980s, Father Trinchard canonically separated himself from the Society of Jesus, having suffered persecution from his colleagues and from the Archdiocese of New Orleans for holding to the traditional Faith and continuing to say the Latin Mass. In 1990, following a heart attack, he retired, and went to work with Father Gruner at the Fatima Center. Later he founded his own Marian End Times Apostolate.

Father Trinchard was a prolific author, writing some twenty books including The Awesome Fatima Consecrations -- on my bookshelf as I write -- and God's Word, (available on Amazon), in which he uncovers the lies and deceit of the modernists who have attempted to rewrite the Bible to further their own agendas, and lays open the Truth to which Sacred Scripture testifies. I recommend God's Word highly.
