This review is from: Our Sunday Visitor's 2000 Catholic Almanac (Our Sunday Visitor's Catholic Almanac) (Paperback)

The Catholic Almanac is a first rate reference work on the Catholic Church. Here one can look up the history and statistics of the Catholic Church in every country of the world. There is a glossary of Catholic terminology; biographical information on the Catholic bishops of the United States and the Cardinals of the world; information on Catholic organizations, institutions, and religious orders; explanations of Catholic doctrines; news in the Church for the last year. You name it, it's in there. Just about anything you need to know regarding the Church of today or through history you can find in this book. If you own the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Code of Canon Law, and this Almanac, then you will be well equipped with Catholic information. It will be especially useful for students. There is also a lot of fun to be had in browsing through this book. It is a tremendous bargain, and I heartily recommend it.
