The Church Visible
The Ceremonial Life and Protocol of the Catholic Church

Suitable for scholars, journalists, and those who are in business or government who have practical dealings with the Church, this title focuses on the universality, spirituality, and grandeur of the post-Vatican II Catholic Church.

Revised and updated for the 21st century, this is the legendary resource on the universality, spirituality, and grandeur of the post-Vatican II Catholic Church. Filled with detailed information that will fascinate any Catholic (What is a zucchetto and who wears one? Why do cardinals have their title in the middle of their names? How do the Knights of Malta serve in the modern Church?), it's also an indispensable reference for scholars, journalists, and anyone in business or government who has practical dealings with the Church.
