 The Catholic Encyclopedia on CD-ROM

When it was first published, the old Catholic Encyclopedia was universally praised for its vast scope and top-notch scholarship. One Protestant reviewer called it "the greatest work undertaken for the advancement of Christian knowledge since the days of Trent."

Since its appearance on the Internet in the 1990s, the Catholic Encyclopedia has proven itself to be, once again, the standard for Catholic reference work in the English language. Decades later, Archbishop Ireland's words are more true than ever: "An intelligent laity is the prime need of the Church today. One book, the summary of thousands, I especially recommend, the Catholic Encyclopedia."
