Description
Excerpt from The Mass and Vestments of the Catholic Church: Liturgical, Doctrinal, Historical and Archæological
Many excellent works have been written both in Latin and in the vernacular explanatory of the Liturgy and the ceremonies of the Church. These works have each its own peculiar merit. As, however, the rubrics and the ceremonies of the Church are an inexhaustible subject, this new work, "The Mass and Vestments of the Catholic Church," by Rt. Rev. Monsignor John Walsh, will not fail to prove interesting to the Rev. clergy and edifying and instructive to the Catholic laity.
Many of our non-Catholic brethren, who not infrequently assist at the celebration of the more solemn feasts of the Church are deeply impressed with the beautiful ceremonial, and they are sincerely desirous of knowing the signification and meaning of the sacred rites. Hence they seek information from their Catholic friends. The work of Monsignor Walsh which is written in a clear and lucid style, will enable the Catholic readers to answer all the questions of their non-Catholic friends intelligently and satisfactorily.
