NewAdvent.com: Biased?

[commenter]

My biggest problem with NewAdvent is that the Catholic Encyclopedia is from 1917.

As a result the language is cumbersome to read at times. Also, it doesn’t included Vatican II teachings.

I have an Encyclopedia of the 1985 edition and it’s like night and day to read.

In many topics, the earlier encyclopedia provides detailed information that the newer edition seems to skim over. The newer edition tends to repeat information that is pretty widely available in many places. The older edition has information is still relevant, but the non-scholar might not know what
other original sources to look in. So it is useful, in itself; no need to compare one version to another.

Looks to be a great deal better than Lifesite!

It does go beyond the detail that most people are looking for.

If you want a cure for insomnia some night, read about Christmas and how the Church came up with December 25th, at Newadvent.

It puts away the modern myth that it was chose to replace the pagan practice of the solstice.
