The Precepts Of The Church

There is little written on the Commandments of the Church past what appears in the basic Catechisms from the last century and a half, such as the Baltimore Catechism. Fr. Clements gives a concise explanation of these laws of the Church, which Moral Theologians hold bind under pain of serious (mortal) sin. We are very happy to bring this wonderful work back in to print for the salvation of souls, by reminding us all of our sacred duties. St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals!' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty!" We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This book is a photographic reprint of the original The original has been inspected and many imperfections in the existing copy have been corrected. At Saint Pius X Press our goal is to remain faithful to the original in both photographic reproductions and in textual reproductions that are reprinted. Photographic reproductions are given a page by page inspection, whereas textual reproductions are proofread to correct any errors in reproduction.
