Friends, the controversy isn’t over yet. It is only beginning.
So, I am happy to report that The Five Cardinals Book™, Remaining in the Truth of Christ: Marriage and Communion in the Catholic Church, which helped to turn the tide during the recent Synod of Bishops, is already in English, Italian (it is a best seller in Italy), French (they’re hiding it at La Procure in Paris, but I found it!), German and Spanish.
It is now probably going to be issued in:
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Hungarian
- Croatian
- Slovak
- Czech

I would like to purchase several copies in Spanish, but it is nowhere to be found here in Argentina. I don’t know who printed it in Spanish… does anyone know?
Many thanks.
I ordered the book through your site back in September and only got it a few weeks ago. It’s a little cerebral for my tastes but I’m slogging through as best as I can. Little nuggets at a time. Good stuff!
Could someone do a translation in an indigenous African language? No, it’s not absolutely necessary, since many Africans speak European languages, but could someone in book-publishing find a symbolic way to thank Cardinals Napier and Sarah?
I am the proud owner of a fresh copy and I plan to have it blessed and autographed by Fr. Dodaro the next time he visits my little parish.
Non latine? Debemusne ad saeculorum usum scribere, vel non?
Just because Dr. Ed Peters did it…
Fico satisfeito em saber que a edição em português – “última flor do lácio, inculta e bela” – já está disponível.
Ignatius, in answer to your question, the Spanish version was published by Ediciones Cristiandad in Madrid: http://www.edicionescristiandad.es.
My copy is sitting on my wife’s nightstand. I mentioned it in a previous post, but perhaps Fr. Z could coordinate the purchase and distribution of a copy of this needed book to each cardinal/bishop attending the 2015 Synod, by means of donations from WDTPRS commentators. Vote with our wallets and help the red hats better form their minds on the topic.
Fr. Z could just create a fund drive and repeatedly remind readers to donate by PayPal. By a few months before the 2015 Synod we could have placed an appropriate language copy in the hands of almost all the voting participants.
I would be in for donating for at least a few copies.
