Description

About The Book: "A Catholic Dictionary Containing Some Account of the Doctrine, Discipline, Rites, Ceremonies, Councils and Religious Orders of the Catholic Church" by William E. Addis is a comprehensive reference work addressing various aspects of Catholicism. Aimed at English-speaking Catholics, it fills a need for an unbiased source on Catholic doctrine, ritual, and discipline. Unlike Protestant-authored works, it offers a Catholic perspective, presenting information on sacraments, liturgy, hierarchy, and important figures in Catholic history. Endorsed by Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster and Cardinal Newman, it's a significant addition to English literature on Catholic theology and history. Authored primarily by Addis and Thomas Arnold, with contributions from American and European scholars, it's a valuable resource for scholars, students, and those seeking insight into the Catholic faith. The work received thorough scrutiny, including a censoring process, ensuring its adherence to Catholic orthodoxy.
