Catholic Truth Society

Catholic Truth Society

Catholic Truth Society (CTS) is a body that prints and publishes Catholic literature, especially apologetics.

The CTS had been originally founded by Herbert Cardinal Vaughan, but became defunct when he was made a bishop, since he no longer had time to devote to it. Some years later, others came up with the same idea and were directed to Vaughan, who suggested that they revive the defunct body. [ [http://www.cts-online.org.uk Website of the CTS] ]

Accordingly, the organization was refounded November 5 1884, under the presidency of Cardinal Vaughan, with Msgr. W. H. Cologan and James Britten, a layman and the principal spirit behind its refounding, serving as secretaries.

The Catholic Truth Society of Ireland was founded in 1899, the International Catholic Truth Society was incorporated in New York in 1900, and the Australian Catholic Truth Society was started in 1904.
