About this book
Issued during Pius X’s pontificate, this collection gathers Roman church decisions on doctrine, worship, and devotional practice, chiefly for people concerned with church administration. One decree rejects arguments against the Pentateuch’s Mosaic authorship, placing biblical scholarship within the authority of inherited testimony and church tradition. Elsewhere, a ruling sets limits on displaying images of English beatified figures during their feast observances. A petition for an indulgence tied to a short prayer to Our Lady of Pilar shows how these records also regulate everyday devotion.
