Many of the decrees and resolutions of the Roman Congregations have been published in various collections. Some of the collections are sanctioned by papal authority, the Congregations have vouched for the genuineness of others, while some have received no official recognition. Through the official bulletin of the Holy See, Acta Apostolicae Sedis, the important acts are published bi-monthly. Catholic periodicals in various countries also publish them with more or less completeness: e.g., The American Ecclesiastical Review; The Homiletic and Pastoral Review; The Irish Eeclesiastical Record.
This dictionary contains not only definitions and explanations of every subject in Religion, Scripture, tradition, doctrine, morals, sacraments, rites, customs, devotions and symbolism, but also accounts of the Church in every continent, country, diocese; missions, notable Catholic centers, cities, and places with religious names; religious orders, church societies, sects and false religions. It has brief articles also on historical events and personages, on the Old Testament and New, and on popes, prelates, priests, men and women of distinction, showing what the Church has done for civilization and correcting many errors which have hitherto passed for history.Wikipedia
