Since 1967, the New Catholic Encyclopedia has been a standard of reference in public, academic and high school libraries worldwide. Prized for its scholarly presentation of persons and subjects related to Catholicism and the humanities, the Encyclopedia is the first place you turn when you have questions on topics such as abortion, divorce, cloning and reproductive technology. It has also been your first-stop when students are researching notable religious figures like Mother Theresa, Dorothy Day, Pope John Paul II, and Cesar Chavez.
