The Visible Church is a comprehensive guide to the external practices and traditions of the Catholic Church, written by John F. Sullivan and first published in 1922. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the structure and hierarchy of the Church, the various ceremonies and sacraments, the use of sacramentals such as holy water and incense, and the celebration of festivals and devotions throughout the liturgical year. Sullivan provides a detailed examination of the Church's governance, from the Pope down to the local parish priest, and explores the roles and responsibilities of the various orders of clergy and religious. He also delves into the symbolism and significance of the Church's many rituals and practices, such as the use of vestments, the lighting of candles, and the ringing of bells. In addition to its practical information, The Visible Church offers a rich historical and cultural perspective on the Catholic Church, tracing the evolution of its practices and beliefs over the centuries. Sullivan's writing is clear and accessible, making this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith and its traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
