The Catholic Encyclopedia (1913) The unofficial Catholic Encyclopedia has many articles on Catholic beliefs, practices, saints, and organisations. The preface declares, "The Catholic Encyclopedia gives full and authoritative information on the entire cycle of Catholic history, interests, action and doctrine. What the Church teaches and has taught; what she has done and is still doing for the highest welfare of humankind; her methods, past and present; her struggles, her triumphs, and the achievements of her members -- all come within the scope of the Catholic Encyclopedia."
