Catholic Action is the organization of the faithful directed by the hierarchy to defend and promote Christ's Kingdom on earth. This Apostolate is often regarded by Catholics as something outside their normal Catholic duty. This is a mistaken notion since the very sacraments of baptism and confirmation impose the obligation of spiritual help to our neighbor. Baptism imposes the duty of Apostolate since through it we become members of the Church or of the Mystical Body of Christ; and among the members of this Body, as of any organism, thee must be solidarity of interests, each member helping the other, and no one remaining inactive. Confirmation which sets the seal of soldier upon us marks us out as fighters for Christ's Cause .it was decided to call this Bible the Catholic Action Edition, for only by a constant reading of Holy Scripture will it be possible to direct our actions in all things according to the light of the gospel and the example of our Lord. It is therefore our sincere hope that this Bible might provide that interior nourishment and necessary preparation for that fruitful Catholic Action to which our Popes have called us." -- excerpt from the Preliminary Page entitled Catholic Action and the Bible. …

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
