About this title

Synopsis

The Sodality Director's Manual, authored by F. X. Schouppe and originally published in 1882, is a comprehensive guidebook for those involved in sodalities - religious organizations devoted to the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The manual contains a collection of instructions, guidelines, and advice for the proper organization and administration of sodalities, including information on the history and purpose of sodalities, the role of the director and officers, the selection and admission of members, the structure and conduct of meetings, and the various devotions and practices associated with sodalities. The book is written in a clear and concise style, with practical examples and detailed explanations, making it an invaluable resource for anyone involved in the leadership or membership of a sodality. Despite its age, the Sodality Director's Manual remains a relevant and useful guide for those seeking to deepen their devotion to Mary and participate in the spiritual life of the Catholic Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the Author

Father F.X. Schouppe, S.J. was an eminent theologian of the nineteenth century. He was the author of "Purgatory Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saints" and "The Dogma of Hell". His purpose with the latter work, though the subject itself is terrifying, was not to sensationalize or to horrify; but rather to instruct people on the reality of Hell and to excite them to a dread of losing Heaven. "The Dogma of Hell" was originally published in 1883 by P.V. Hickey, and "Purgatory Explained" was printed in the late 1800s with the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur.
