I was reared well and thoroughly as a Tridentine-type Roman Catholic during my childhood, but as a result of two marriages, one to someone rigidly anti-Catholic, and the second to a very post-Vatican II-type Catholic, I find that much of my learning — and some of which I didn’t even know at the time —*has slipped.
While I have found sites like Fish Eaters to be helpful, they are not always all-encompassing. I ask not so much for myself (though having a bound reference handy would be quite nice) as much as I do for the need to sometimes provide a relatively quick answer to non-Catholics estranged from traditionalist Catholic relatives.
(As an example, the granddaughter of a devout, traditional Catholic was quite distraught because the lady’s daughter, having converted to another faith that relies solely on proselytisation, prevented her grandmother from receiving Extreme Unction. I knew the basics of buying Masses to be said for the soul, but had no idea of the frequency in the tradition. There have been dozens of small incidents like this, and I’d prefer to be able to find the information at hand.)
I’m also looking for a traditional prayer book — not necessarily in Latin, but I’d appreciate one that had a copy of the six litanies and the less-often used prayers, such as the Eternal Rest Prayer, Down in Adoration Falling, and such.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated!
Praise be to Jesus Christ,
