From Altar-Throne to Table: The Campaign for Frequent Holy Communion in the Catholic Church - ATLA Monograph Series
Joseph Dougherty
This book investigates one of the most successful liturgical reforms in Catholic history. Only a century ago, faithful, practicing Catholics received Holy Communion only once a year; now, among American English-speaking Catholics, Holy Communion is a routine, weekly devotional practice. This book explains how and why this ritual sea-change happened.
