As Roman Catholic beliefs, doctrines, rites and a great deal of terminology are not found in the Bible, this book is an indispensable guide to Roman Catholicism. It has the imprimatur of Francis Cardinal Spellman, at the time of the book’s printing, the Archbishop of New York, and the highest ranking Roman Catholic in the United States. Its contents are therefore considered authoritative by the Roman Catholic Church.
