Woods in The New York Times , so has its recording angel, the CATHOLIC ALMANAC , a comprehensive handbook of statistical and general information of Catholic concern ...
Over the years, the Almanac has increasingly come to reflect global Catholic activity.
In short, it, like the Church whose tempo it records, has become part of the world. " " The tempo of change in the Catholic Church has once again been captured in this new edition of the CATHOLIC ALMANAC.
It contains a wealth of basic information, carefully compiled and revised to be as complete, accurate, and up-to-date as possible:
vital statistics, biographies of outstanding figures, a dictionary of Catholic terms, and texts of major Church documents.
And it offers concise and illuminating articles on virtually every subject of Catholic interest and importance:
the Bible, liturgy, theology, ecumenism, significant news events of the past year, and current trends in Catholic thought. "
" .. special attention is given to the dramatic changes that have occurred within the Church, the challenges that face Catholics and Catholicism, and the possible solutions that have been advanced.
