The Gentle Traditionalist Returns: A Catholic Knight's Tale from Ireland

by Roger Buck

Overview

Three years ago, the Gentle Traditionalist introduced the skeptical, secular Geoffrey to the Catholic Mystery. Now a convert, Geoffrey struggles to see with his reason what his wife Anna intuits to her horror: the steady possession of a once-Christian West by the twin forces of Secular Materialism and Secular Spiritualism.

About the Author

ROGER BUCK is a Catholic convert who once resided at Findhorn, Scotland-probably the most renowned New Age community in the world. He was a full time New Age activist for many years. Then, a profound conversion experience changed his life forever (as described in his book Cor Jesu Sacratissimum). He lives in the rural northwest of Ireland, an endless source of inspiration for all his writing, as well as YouTube videos.
