Following my post Lay apostolate in the tradition of the CTS, a correspondent sent me a link to this page from Australia: Catholic Truth Society Pamphlets. From various countries. There are so far 270 clean pdfs of old pamphlets from Australia, England, and Ireland. It is quite a treasure trove.
The illustration for this post is from Lux Occulta. If you go there you can click on the picture and read the whole pamphlet in a pdf. I think that it might be of interest to those who write on "The Art of Manliness". The back cover is interesting too because it shows the CTS bookshop before the Piazza was cleared.

here in the USA Ignatius Press is working with CTS to get their pamplets out.

Wow, the C.T.S. even had their own Holy Bible Douay Version available. Would love to get my hands on one of those old gems to see what they were like. No doubt better than the NAB!
I've got one of those Bibles, Matt..
If my memory serves me aright it cost me five shillings and it is 14 cm by 9 cm by 5 cm thick with a Preface by H.E. Cardinal Griffin. It is dated 1955.

This is a great initiative! I have a collection of CTS pamphlets, collected over many years, and I am going to make them available. In fact, I have often thought it would be good to scan them and get them online but thought there would be copyright issues...
That picture of Westminster Cathedral on the back cover of CTS pamphlets brings back memories. I can remember as a child colouring one in with my crayons.
