Jacques Habert, Bishop of Seez

please see "What if Louis and Zelie had known about Vatican II?" , a conference written and presented by Mgr Jacques Habert, bishop of Seez, for their feast.  This is on my Web site for them, "Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin, The Parents of St. Therese of Lisieux."  I thank Bishop Habert for his permission and Gordon Henry for the translation.  The conference appeared first on the Web site of the Shrine at Alencon.  A blessed feast day!
