“Rites and Wrongs”


David Sonnier, a 1981 West Point graduate, loved the U.S. Army and worked to be a model soldier. A bend in his career path brought him into contact for the first time with the traditional Mass. His life, with that of his family, was changed forever. 

Sonnier began to work within the system to obtain access to the old rite for servicemembers and their families. He watched in disbelief as, over the course of years of respectful petitioning, military Catholic chaplains repeatedly lied and dissembled, pulling every possible string to ensure that the Latin Mass would never be said on any military base. 

Os Justi Press has just released ๐‘…๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘  ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐‘Š๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘”๐‘ : ๐‘‚๐‘›๐‘’ ๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘›'๐‘  ๐‘†๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘ข๐‘”๐‘”๐‘™๐‘’ ๐‘“๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐ฟ๐‘Ž๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘› ๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘  ๐‘–๐‘› ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘ˆ.๐‘†. ๐ด๐‘Ÿ๐‘š๐‘ฆ. A true story from a dark period, Sonnier's gripping memoir ranges through the world of the Colombian Army, Special Operations, Fort Bragg, NATO, and the Vatican. Though current or retired servicemembers and lovers of military history will especially appreciate this memoir, ๐‘…๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘  ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐‘Š๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘”๐‘  is a captivating read for any Catholic who relishes a story full of life-changing realizations, backroom intrigues, surprising reversals, and hard-earned wisdom.
