Whether you need to find something quickly, discover the how, why, or when, or just have some time to read, this book is the tool that will help.

Written in a concise manner, the Modern Catholic Encyclopedia has an excellent index and a list of topics that will satisfy even the most knowledgeable (or beginning) person.

Well written - a must on your bookshelf.

Excellent resource, but the book is too heavy to sustain any real use in softcover. Opt for the hard cover if you really plan on using it.

This encyclopedia is great if you are doing research on what Modernists Believe.

It will help you to see how modernists twist the traditions and beliefs of the church.

For example:

1. Regarding purgatory it says: it has been affirm by Trent and the popes...however it goes on to say, the teachings of the church on purgatory are limited and there is room for "theological reflections".

This author certainly is not a friend Thomas Aquina's purgatory views.

2. It tries to minimize mortal sin, I say it almost define Mortal Sins as a state of mind.

I don't regret buying this encyclopedia. It helps me see exactly how modernists twist catholic beliefs to suit their needs.


To be FAIR

In the cover of the book it says clearly what the book will attempt to do: "...It attempts to give a succinct and contemporary view of the beliefs,practices and history of this" (this means the church).

This book should only be used by adults that cannot be indoctrinated. Certainly not for use by children that can easily believe what they are told.

WOW. This encyclopedia is a great reference for any Catholic.
Amazing insight and great explanations for all to understand.
Great buy !
