A Near Fine edition with page edge soiling and some wear to the boards in a Good+ dust-jacket with extensive creasing and tearing to the edges ; The Catholic Encyclopedia is a massive, encyclopedic work that details the history, doctrines, liturgy, and saints of the Catholic Church. Though it is an invaluable resource, it is not without its flaws. One of the most glaring is the entry on Freemasonry. Though Freemasonry is officially recognized by the Catholic Church, its entry in the Encyclopedia is grossly inaccurate and partisan. This is a serious flaw, given that Freemasonry is a major part of Catholic culture.; 4to; 612 pages . (Inventory #: 123808)
