(read 30 Dec 1994) This is a 1935 biography. The subject was born May 8, 1521 at Nymegen, Holland, and died Dec 21, 1597, and was canonized May 21, 1925. He was an extraordinary man, and I wonder if I may not owe my Faith to him. When he began work Protestantism was advancing triumphantly through Germany, Austria, and Poland. It it had not been for Jesuits would there be any Catholics in Germany? This book is awfully long (843 pages) and quotes letters at inordinate length. But it was worth reading, and though no miracle worker--is that why it was 267 years before he was beatified, and 328 years before he was canonized?--the debt the world owes him exists today, and always will.

"Author, preacher, catechist, and builder of schools, Saint Peter Canisius was a leading Jesuit force in the central European Counter Reformation. By making his vows before Peter Favre in Mainz in 1543, he became the first German son of the Society of Jesus. When he died in 1597, he had founded eighteen colleges from Messina in Sicily to Hungary, written thirty-seven books, and inspired countless fellow Jesuits in their disputations with the rising tide of Reformers." "Originally published in 1935, this story reveals the early struggles of Canisius, his many years of dedicated leadership in the Society, and the history of his Summary of Christian Doctrine, which appeared in two Catechism versions and some 200 printings during his lifetime."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
