Foundations of Our Catholic Faith and The Hedge of the Vine: Selected Works of Frits Albers, Volume 3, Ed. by Frank Calneggia
The Foundations of Our Catholic Faith and The Hedge of the Vine: The Selected Works of Frits Albers, Vol. 3
by Frits Albers, edited by Frank Calneggia
Selected for publication in this third volume of the works of Frits Albers are the following:
- The Foundations of Our Catholic Faith
- The Hedge of the Vine
The first, initially delivered as a series of lectures, underscores the importance of Thomistic philosophy in safeguarding the Church’s teachings. It articulates how intellect and faith must align, drawing on Catholic doctrine and the supernatural order for spiritual clarity and resilience.
The second explores the concept of the everlasting enmity between good and evil, beginning with Genesis. It highlights how the vine of Catholic Faith and its intellectual hedge ensure the Church’s integrity against corruption. Historical narratives, from the fall of Adam and Eve to the Tower of Babel, illustrate God’s fidelity and the Church’s mission of salvation.
Both texts critique Modernist trends and theological compromises, championing the Church’s responsibility to maintain doctrinal purity and intellectual rigor. They advocate for the cultivation of faith and reason as twin pillars of a resilient Church in an era of moral and spiritual upheaval. These works urge Catholics to uphold principles of sanctity, salvation, and intellectual discipline to secure the Church’s future and legacy.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Frits Albers Ph. B (1921-2000) was born in Holland and studied under the Jesuits at Nijmegen during the 1940s. He emigrated to Australia in 1951, and travelled extensively within the south-east region of the ‘lucky country’. He joined the Department of Education in Victoria and worked as a high school teacher who specialised in mathematics, French and English.
In the early post Vatican II period he realised that the strange interpretations of the recently concluded Council that were being forced upon Catholics were under pinned by the same philosophy he had been taught in the 1940’s by the Jesuits at Nijmegen in the name of St Thomas Aquinas, but which in reality was the systematic Modernism of Pierre Teilhard De Chardin, S.J. Thus, in the early 1970’s he began writing articles and books to expose the philosophical root of these errors and aberrations of Teilhard De Chardin, and to defend Catholic Faith, clear thinking, and right philosophy.
