if you mean the roman rite books, they are broken up into several books. if you mean a missal, see your nearest catholic book store.A friend asked me where he could purchase the most recent edition of the Roman Pontifical. I have scoured the internet and various publishers’ sites, and I am stumped.
Does anyone know who publishes the Roman Pontifical, or if it now goes by another name, or if it is out of print?
Roman Rite Books. I thought they were broken up, but I wasn’t sure. So, if he wants to get all of the current rite books, how many are there–are all contained in the two volume Rites of the Catholic Church?if you mean the roman rite books, they are broken up into several books. if you mean a missal, see your nearest catholic book store.
Thanks again!
most are in those books.Roman Rite Books. I thought they were broken up, but I wasn’t sure. So, if he wants to get all of the current rite books, how many are there–are all contained in the two volume Rites of the Catholic Church?
a Zuchetto? those are not too rare, I have 2 myself.I, too, tried looking for a Roman Pontifical. Unfortunately, the book is reserved only for Bishops. My former rector used to joke around that the only way we could get hold of one is from a deceased bishop. Sorry, but I couldn’t help put this in because, in all honesty, these books are rare.
Now, as much as I don’t like to buy religious items through this means, ebay might have one. There is a vendor named “Sacerdote” who can find just about anything. He found a monsignor’s skull cap for a friend of mine as well as some other interesting items.
Fr. Corey, the monsignor’s zucchetto is slightly different because it has the magenta piping on it. I did find a Roman Pontifical on ebay, but its the 1962 edition.a Zuchetto? those are not too rare, I have 2 myself.
I don’t wear mine too offen thou, people were always saying Shalom to me. i.e. a priest’s is black.
try catholic book publishers and liturgy press.

I had tried Catholic Book Publishers and Liturgy Press, but, since the Roman Pontifical is reserved for bishops, they don’t publish them on a regular basis.
Now, another source that just came to mind is the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops-Liturgy Office. Maybe Msgr. Moroney, the BCL secretary might provide some direction.
Another option is a book called the Ceremonial of Bishops, written by now Bishop Peter Elliot.
Whoever is looking for the Roman Pontifical did not mention why they needed it. If it is for the Cathedral, the Bishop usually brings his own with him. Ditto for whenever the bishop goes from parish to parish administering the Sacrament of Confirmation.
You would need the Roman Pontifical only if the rituals called for the bishop.
