From Altar-throne to Table - The Campaign for Frequent Holy Communion in the Catholic Church

Informationen zum Autor Joseph Dougherty, a De la Salle Christian Brother, teaches in the Religion Department of La Salle University. Klappentext This book investigates one of the most successful liturgical reforms in Catholic history. Only a century ago, faithful, practicing Catholics received Holy Communion only once a year; now, among American English-speaking Catholics, Holy Communion is a routine, weekly devotional practice. This book explains how and why this ritual sea-change happened.
