A Complete Catechism of the Catholic Religion by Father Joseph Deharbe, S.J. was originally written in German, was very popular in the 19th century, and was translated into English. Bishop Donald Sanborn finds the Deharbe Catechism to be the most complete to convert and instruct people in the Catholic Faith.
“A Complete Catechism of the Catholic Religion” by Father Joseph Deharbe S.J. is available to purchase in a beautiful, cloth-covered hardback with gold-embossing for a very-discounted price in the True Restoration store.
Father Eldracher is currently pastor of Mary Help of Christians chapel and provides the Traditional (Tridentine) Latin Mass to faithful Catholics throughout Australia.
