I Was A Red Priest, Memories and Testimonials
by JEAN BOULIER, translated by Toby Terrar,
Red Star Publishers, $19
THIS book is the autobiography of Fr Jean Boulier (1894-1980), for the first time translated from French into English, complete with newly added scholarly appendixes, indexes, graphics and bibliography.
It offers, through its protagonist, a Christian social analysis that is now minimised but was widely held in the post-World War II era, and continues to be held by those like Pope Francis who in May 2022 criticised Nato as “barking at Russia’s door.”
Boulier was professor of Christian Legal Principles at the Catholic University of Paris.
