Catholic Church, Liturgics 

Here are the most important and useful documents of the liturgical reform for reference and study by clergy, parish staffs, liturgists, musicians, liturgy committees, teachers and students. Previous editions of this book contained the following documents.

This edition retains all those and adds three more:

Fulfilled in Your Hearing - about the Sunday homily

This Holy and Living Sacrifice - contains the rationale and norms for distributing communion under both species

Ceremonial of Bishops (excerpts) - contains many principles applicable to parish celebrations

Each document is preceded by a general overview which describes the origins, importance, strengths and weaknesses of the document. Authors include Kathleen Hughes, RSCJ; Mark Francis, CSV; Gerard S. Sloyan; Kevin W. Irwin, G. Thomas Ryan; Catherine Dooley, OP; Edward Foley, Capuchin; Andrew D. Ciferni, OPream; and Kathleen Cannon, OP. John Huels, OSM, a canon lawyer who is a specialist in liturgical law, wrote the general introduction to the book.
