LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21 /Christian Newswire/ -- Author, Papal historian, and Church lecturer Charles Coulombe, K.C.S.S. is an expert of things Catholic. By order of Pope John Paul II, he was created a Knight Commander of the Order of St. Sylvester for his services rendered to the Holy See. His encyclopedic knowledge, shrewd observations, and witty anecdotes on religion in modern society provide singular and engaging commentary.

Author of the chart-climbing The Pope's Legion, and Puritan's Empire: A Catholic Perspective on American History, Coulombe is recognized internationally for his in-depth knowledge of Vatican politics and the influence of Catholicism in America and Europe. His audiences regularly range from graduate students at Oxford University, England to the New Mexico Military Institute, from which he graduated. His international articles have appeared in the New Oxford Review, National Catholic Register, American Thinker, Los Angeles Catholic Mission, Gnosis, Monarchy Canada, and The Irish Democrat.

Coulombe is available for analysis and commentary on how Pope Benedict XVI's Apostolic Constitution for reunion with Anglicans will impact Catholic life in the United States and the world at large.
