Wenn jemand es unternimmt, uber einen Gegenstand zu schreiben, mit dem er sich bisher beruflich noch nicht beschaftigt hat, so sollte er eigentlich damit beginnen, sehr viel zu les en und sich uber das Gelesene sorgfaltige Notizen zu machen. Eine solche V orbereitung auf einen so gewaltigen Gegenstand aber, wie es das Thema dieses Buches ist, kann gut und gern zehn Jahre dauern. Als ich mir vornahm, dieses Buch zu schreiben, war ich schon mehr als 61 J ah re alt, und ich kann getrost sagen, daB ich es nie geschrieben hatte, wenn ich so verfahren ware. Da mir nun aber doch sehr daran lag, es zu schreiben, so blieb mir nichts anderes ubrig, als den Gedanken an eine sorgfaltige V orbereitung aufzugeben und mich nur al'. f meine Erinnerung an ein sehr ausgedehntes unsystematisches Buchstudium und vieles Nachdenken uber den Gegenstand zu stutzen. Ein so entstan denes Buch kann naturlich keinen Anspruch auf die gleiche Autoritat erheben wie eines, das auf Grund vorhergehender erschopfender Studien entstanden ist. lch furchte, daB das Fehlen von Hinweisen auf Quellen meinen Lesern einiges Unbehagen verursachen wird. lch konnte zwar einige Quellen nennen, aber viele - und sogar einige besonders wichtige - nicht, 50 daB es ein falsches Bild gabe, wenn ich nur diejenigen anfuhrte, derer ich mich noch genau erinnere."

St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals ' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty " We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers.
