About the author

Rev. Fr. Karl Stehlin was born on 30th January 1962 in Ettenheim, South Germany. He discovered the treasure of Catholic tradition when he was 16 years old through a traditional Catholic youth movement. Fascinated at seeing young people helping one another to grow in faith and virtue and desiring to dedicate his whole life to the conversion of souls, he discerned his vocation to the priesthood.

Ordained on 29th June 1988 in Econe by Archbishop Lefebvre (the day before the episcopal consecrations of the four bishops of the SSPX), his first posting was as a missionary in Gabon where he had spent some time as a deacon. He remained in Gabon for a total of 8 years before being made the first superior of the autonomous house in Warsaw, Poland where he was sent to found the mission of Eastern Europe.

After 20 years in this post, and after marvellous growth of the mission, Fr. Stehlin was appointed District Superior of Asia on 15th August 2014. His vision is to bring all people of good will to Our Lord by being the instrument of the Immaculata.

Reviews

[Jacinta]

The book breaks down the six apparitions in Fatima. It first starts with context as written in the book called 'The whole truth about Fatima - Science and Facts'. Then it provides commentaries breaking down the significant moments. Fr. Karl provides a really good and easy to understand breakdown of the actual events.
