You may be able to read online all the articles in the New Catholic Encyclopedia published in 2003. This is a nice supplement to the original Catholic Encyclopedia which was published in about 1913 and which is available for free on many web sites (including the Catholic Answers web site at oce.catholic.com/index.php?title=Home )
To see if you can get online access to the 2003 New Catholic Encyclopedia, go to this web site:
encyclopedia.com/New+Catholic+Encyclopedia/publications.aspx?pageNumber=1
Pick an article and click on it. For some reason, the pages run in reverse alphabetical order. I couldn’t see how to search just the New Catholic Encyclopedia. So I just pages through and found my favorite topics by alphabetical order.
Anyway, after you click on an article title, it will show you part of the article. Then at the bottom, it gives a link for you to click to see if you can get authorization to see the rest through your membership in a local library. It them gives you a place to enter your state an the names of the libraries where you are a member.
It worked for me! I have full online access to this really valuable Catholic reference source.
The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia is very valuable, but since it was last updated about 99 years ago, it has nothing about the Second Vatican Council, John Paul II, the Solidarity labor union movement in Poland that brought down Communism, the Divine Mercy devotion, Saint Teresia Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein), Mother Teresa, etc.
Best wishes.
