Compendium of Church History [for use in Catholic schools] – pdf, text, kindle format. A Manual of Church History. Any idea of the book “Catholic Apologetics.
HE RARE HYMNALS we have been releasing all have one thing in common: None were available as a PDF download before we scanned & posted them. They’re absolutely fascinating from a historical perspective, and we’re searching through them to find any “hidden gems” for the forthcoming. Here’s one compiled, edited, and arranged by James A. The divine comedy. Reilly in 1921:. Published by McLaughlin & Reilly (“Publishers of Catholic Church Music Exclusively”), it bears a 1921 Imprimatur by William Cardinal O’Connell, who had published in 1915.
It’s no accident that the very first hymn in Reilly’s book is by Cardinal O’Connell. Much could be said about this book, but for now I’ll mention just one thing. I was intrigued by the note written underneath John Henry Cardinal Newman’s hymn (#130): This hymn is not approved by church music commissions in some dioceses due to its association with Protestant Services. I hope you enjoy perusing this book as much as I did, friends! In the Jogues Hymnal, I hope something can be done with the amazing hymn A SOLIS ORTUS CARDINE and its 2nd part, CRUDELIS HERODES. This poem is so beautiful, yet so few Catholics know anything about it.
