The Catholic Encyclopedia is an English-language encyclopedia published
in 1913 by the Roman Catholic Church, designed to give "authoritative information
on the entire cycle of Catholic interests, action and doctrine".
This encyclopedia was designed to serve the Roman Catholic Church.
Therefore, it explains matters from the point of view of the official Roman
Catholic doctrine. On issues that divide the Roman Catholic from other churches,
the text consistently presents matters from the Roman Catholic point of view.
Also, because the encyclopedia was undertaken in 1913, some of its entries
are not up to date, either with the secular or Roman Catholic ecclesiastical
world. In particular, it predates the Second Vatican Council, which introduced
significant changes in Roman Catholic practice.
It is very hard and costly to find this set in paper form.
An excellent addition to any theology library, truly an amazing reference
work.
