Dr. Warren H. Carroll, a leading Catholic historian, author of the masterful six-volume A History of Christendom and eight other books, died on July 17, 2011. Dr. Carroll was the founder of Christendom College in Front Royal, Virginia.  As an alumnus of Christendom College, I can say that having had Dr. Carroll as a professor of history many years ago was both an honor and a privilege. He will be remembered fondly as a great man and a loyal soldier of Christ. 

According to Christendom's College's press release on the passing of their founder, Carroll's lasting legacy speaks volumes about his life and dedication to the Catholic cause: He "leaves behind his wife Anne, and his adopted children and grandchildren – the 2640 alumni of Christendom College, which included 300 alumna-to-alumnus marriages (with 1000s of children), 63 priests, and 43 religious sisters and brothers."

Please remember to pray for the repose of his soul.
