Every Catholic should have a copy of the Catechism that will last them a lifetime. Every Catholic should have a copy of the Catechism of the Council of Trent. For, as Pope Leo XIII once said on this very book, “This work is remarkable at once for the richness and exactness of its doctrine, and for the elegance of its style; it is a precious summary of all theology, both dogmatic and moral. He who understands it well will have always at his service those aids by which a priest is enabled to preach with fruit, to acquit himself worthily of the important ministry…of the direction of souls, and will be in a position to refute the objections of unbelievers.” This beautiful, embossed hardcover Catechism will last decades and become one of the most essential books on your shelf. The sturdy binding and attractive typesetting will help you to navigate and understand the most important truths of the Catholic Faith throughout your life. The Catechism of the Council of Trent, compiled under the supervision of St. Charles Borromeo and approved by Pope St. Pius V, has been recognized as the most authoritative catechism by many of the greatest popes, such as St. Pius X, Clement XIII, Benedict XV, Leo XIII, and many others. It has been used by clergy and laymen for over 400 years as a source of the clear and simple truths of the Faith. To ordinary people, to great theologians, to popes, and even to saints, this catechism has been a guide and companion—the Catechism of the Council of Trent will become your steady guide in the confusion of the modern age. CANONS AND DECREES OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT translated by Rev. H.J. Schroeder, paperback, 2011, 298 pgs plus intro pages. Held as the rallying point of the Counter-Reformation and intended as the Church's definitive response to Protestant heresies, the Council of Trent is a monolith in the history of the Church. Spanning three sessions and the pontificates of five popes from 1545 to 1563, it somehow managed to pull through one of the most tumultuous and deadly times in Church history to shine forth as a beacon of Catholic orthodoxy over and against numerous errors. It also served to codify and, where necessary, reform Church discipline and practice so as to grant a new life to the Church as a bulwark against all her enemies. In this volume of The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent, originally published in 1941, Fr. H. J. Schroeder, O.P., provides an exact translation of the texts promulgated by the council and elucidates its momentous accomplishments. Readers will find the text of the documents as here presented refreshingly clear and definitive, as characteristic of the Church's official pronouncements. Covered within are the official decrees on such elements of Catholic doctrine as: Transubstantiation of the EucharistThe nature of the MassPenanceExtreme UnctionMatrimony as a sacramentHoly OrdersOriginal SinVeneration of saints, Relics, and Our LadyAnd far more! Footnotes with Scriptural references are provided throughout the text, as well as internal cross-references between different parts of the council's decrees. Lovers of Church history, the development of doctrine, and Catholic truth will not want to miss this magnificent translation of one of the greatest of the 21 ecumenical councils of the Catholic Church.
