Summary: I think the correct title is "The Church Teaches:..."
Review: This (if it is the same) book was first published before Vatican II. It is well indexed, and the Jesuit Fathers of St Mary's have done an excelent job of letting the Church speak for herself. This book should be on every Catholic's study shelf along with the Bible, the new Catechism set, and the Jerome Bible Commentary. My dog-eared copy has served me well by demonstrating the consistency of Catholic doctrine through history. I hope it comes back into print soon!

Summary: A Handy Reference Book for Students of Theology
Review: This book is intended for college students who would like to make frequent reference to the teachings of the Church in their class room as well as private study and it serves the purpose well. Important documents of the Church are arranged under different topics of Catholic doctrine and are very easy to refer to. I have found this book more helpful than going to Densinger and most of the relevant and important documents are here. The documents are beautifully indexed with a topical index as well as a general index. There is also a table of reference to Denzinger's Enchiridion Symbolorum. It is indeed a very good contribution to the students of theology by the Jesuit Fathers of St Mary's College, Kansas.
